Can I just say that this subreddit is the only place I feel sane?

I'm a millennial (I only mention that bc it seems everyone my age is obsessed with TGism), bisexual woman married to a man and this subreddit is the only place I don't feel f*cking crazy!!! I can't tell anyone how I feel though for fear I'll be seen as a bigot or ignorant. I've been seriously disturbed by the backwards mindset of transgenderism for years - starting in Feminist Theory in college. My professor posed this very question: If we truly believe as feminists that our gender does not define our capabilities, why the hell do people insist on changing their gender? Because they "feel" a certain way? It reinforces the idea that only women are supposed to cry or have close friendships or love men. I know I'm preaching to the choir hear, it just feels so good to get this all off my chest.

It also drives me absolutely mad that TG is seen as SOOOOOOO BRAAAAVE and people are elbowing each other out of the way to use certain bathrooms and be allowed on sports teams, be considered women for the purpose of pursuing lesbian relationships, say they've felt this all their lives, it's medically accepted and yet lesbians are still raped, abused, mistreated, and discriminated again every second of the day. These men want to control a woman so desperately that they decide to create their own "ideal" woman. Where my ugly trans chicks at, huh? *crickets* That's what I thought. Even if they don't fit into societal standards of pretty, they all seem to striving for that ideal. It's disgusting and sad.

I cannot stand this trend. I'm a psychiatric professional and I cannot see this as anything but mental illness brought on and/or encouraged by the radical left/men who have internalized homophobia. Our spaces are being invaded, our identity is being invaded. It's utter madness and I can't stand it! I'm so glad this community exists.
