Yes, very true. I wrote a long comment about this last night, describing how LGBT norms perpetuated by the media make it hard to find a decent therapist who won't just assume detrans people are really trans but "closeted" about it, or are otherwise reluctant to say anything that could be interpreted as even roughly critical of the LGBT narrative. That last part especially tells you there's a systemic problem due to the way certain narratives dominate the discussion and are intolerant of those not conforming to be something they aren't; just look at the way trans people harass detrans people, as so many posts here show.

Even when one doesn't have a "prickly" opinion or position, it's hard enough to find a therapist or person you can talk to who isn't just "cheerleading" or trying to lead you somewhere you don't want to go.

Not really disagreeing with you, but I find it curious because if you extend this logic to the notion of "coming out," which the LGBT similarly describe as something of a transcendent experience that outsiders supposedly can never understand (even though we all have various revelations in life, and they don't have to be about something so simple as sexual orientation) well that would expose a lot.

Personally I believe the only reason they claim no one else can understand the "coming out" ritual is just so that they can construct an unfalsifiable narrative: anyone who questions them is simply told "you can't understand anyway unless you go through it yourself." Which is also quite similar to the way religions describe things like faith.

That's such a mild comment too, which makes it incredibly clear that sub engages in propagandistic behaviors intended to advance the LGBT agenda silence anyone outside it. Why else would they silence people over such a harmless comment?

I got banned from that sub just for asking similar questions also. If the LGBT really wanted to be seen as good, make allies not enemies, etc they wouldn't do this; so the fact that they do kinda suggests religions were right about homosexuality being morally wrong, as that's exactly how they're acting.

Yeah I think it's a lot more common for repressed homosexuals to identify as trans than the left wants people to believe. Statistically, gay identification is much more likely than (true) trans identification or intersex conditions

Just from the stray posters in this sub alone, a lot of LGBT people seem to question their gender identity.

I think it's (sexual exposure) contributing to everyone's over-obsession with sexuality and LGBT issues, and overall has harmful effects on society in nearly every area. I think nearly all of today's moral decay can be traced back to this issue.

Sorry I don't have any real advice to give you here, but good luck. Staying away from social media might help though.

True, though our society now is kind of like a bad therapist in that they infer and project from this that traditional gender roles should be abandoned. If someone matures and identifies with their birth/natural gender more, it's not just just the "fault" of traditional gender roles: many just are that way naturally, and there's nothing wrong with it. Critics of traditional gender roles, often LGBT and non-binary identifiers, will tell you they don't discriminate against traditional gender roles and people "following" or exhibiting them, but most absolutely do.

Yes it's very bad, but I believe it's more propagandistic than merely childish. One of the hallmarks of cult-like behavior is the implementation of special, often euphemising terms to attract young people. And quite often the same people who would call religion cult-like turn the other cheek in this context.

I'm a guy, but I do understand what you're saying. Unfortunately it's unlikely you can really do anything to stop someone from hitting on you. (I've been hit on by men-well, that's probably a euphemism from their perspective- and it's not fun). Know what your boundaries are and tell them to fuck off if you want (might make you feel better). You control your response to it but you can't control their actions, to an extent anyway. I would probably avoid telling them you're a lesbian because any discussion of sexuality will probably just be spun into a further "attempt" on their part. (It's well-known that a lot of guys fetishize lesbians, which hopefully you know)

I'm sure there are but they've been suppressed

Edit: I wish you the well but that should go without saying; unfortunately modern society is pretty screwed up, and people expect virtue-signalling from everyone, which creates ambiguity since most people virtue-signalling don't mean it. (So I tend to avoid it because I do.)

I'm curious though, how did you not know about butch lesbians? If you're relatively young, that makes this all the worse, as I don't have kids or anything like that but I imagine kids today would from isolated and mostly live online, leading to echo chambers, partly responsible for why people unfortunately make mistakes. Not blaming you but post-marxists. I've had my own awakening about post-marxists as well.

Yes, while others' advice here is somewhat effective, it's actually the presence of estrogen and not the absence of testosterone that causes breast tissue (among other things). And having high testosterone (especially at unnatural levels, and well, we're on detrans, where many will agree that "unnatural" applies to transitioning) leads the body to produce more estrogen as well, leading to gynecomastia.
