What does it actually take to be truly trans? Just identifying? Then any cis person could just lie about being trans for Internet Leftist Points™®.

@dtluna Why would anybody pretend to be an oppressed group that is still assaulted regularly and widely hated?

@kaikatsuOn the Internet, especially on Fedi, claiming this identity gives you a certain protection from criticism.You could continue being cis in your offline life, but on Fedi you could claim to be a black disabled autistic trans lesbian and cancel everyone you don't like. I mean it's a viable strategy for abuse and bullying.

@dtluna That's true of anything on the internet. There is no alternative other than gatekeeping genuine people over paranoia.

@kaikatsu Maybe if someone targeted a couple big leftist personalities on YouTube that would spark the discussion... :Thinkception:

@dtluna So starting a discussion is by attacking people assuming they are only pretending to be a minority for clout? That's a terrible idea, and you know it.

@kaikatsu > assuming they are only pretending to be a minority for cloutI didn't say that I know of are any trans people who are "pretending". I'm just saying this is a viable abuse strategy.

@kaikatsu Still though, even without the abuse vector, there is an interesting scenario that comes to mind if identifying is all you need to be trans. Say a person lives as a man their whole life and never tries to present feminine, uses he/him pronouns and tells everyone they are a man, but thinks of themselves as a trans woman, they would a trans woman by that definition. Nothing bad about this, just an odd scenario that would be possible.
