I Had To Find This Post. I Read This In 2017 And It Had A Profound Effect On Me. I Couldnt Stop Saying

I had to find this post. I read this in 2017 and it had a profound effect on me. I couldn’t stop saying it. It was echolalia. And now to this day, for seven years, I can still quote it perfectly Word for Word and often do when I do something stupid. This is the perfect post in my opinion 

there’s got to be at least one trans woman named eve out there whose deadname is adam. and she’s the funniest person to ever grace this earth with her presence.

hey I'm sorry I stopped in the middle of that sentence my brain decided to flush its cache and I totally forgot what this conversation was

Enjoy, anon!

If you ask me, ofc it's lateral aggression. CDD systems and endos are lumped in with each other by virtue of history, terminology, and how they're viewed in society, whether that's a good thing or not. A key component of lateral aggression is internalized bigotry. The LGB Alliance internalizes queerphobic narratives, but rather than applying it to themselves, they dump it on a scapegoat--transgender people. It allows them to think of themselves as "the normal ones" while still holding the harmful beliefs society has pushed on them. Just for a different group.

Similarly, CDD systems are subject to horrible systemic ableism, medical abuse, and toxic inner communities policing for "fakers". It's not hard to see how that narrative is being pushed on endos of all kinds, especially when you factor trauma responses into it. "Oh that's not me. I'm the good kind. *They're* the ones you're looking for." Is a key component of lateral aggression.

This is a legitimately great point, and has changed my mind on this. I had been on the fence about whether it was lateral aggression or not, while leaning towards not. But yeah, when you put it that way, the hate is pretty much entirely based on scapegoating and subjecting people to the same prejudice they've experienced.

So yeah, I'm definitely firmly on the side of it being lateral aggression!

While still being bigotry.
