I know that there are a lot of trans people on hexbear, and I know their beliefs are sincere. What I don’t understand is how they square the fact that they would be brutally suppressed, raped, tortured, murdered by the very groups/governments they unwaveringly love and support. It sickens me. Is it a manifestation of self-hatred? I just don’t get why they would degrade themselves like this.

    That’s because tankies don’t operate on politics, like, they don’t go out to make political movement or action. To them, it’s theatre, and the more dramatic you can be, the more powerful you look.

    It’s all about being as oppressed as you can be. It’s to make up for their feelings of guilt and shame being rich and lazy
