This post is inspired by a recent user I interacted with accusing me of being transphobic due to disagreeing with the concept of “xenogenders”

Without going too in depth, this user identified as “swarmgender”, and believed they are part of a literal hive mind. This led me down a path of reflection, wanting to be accepting of someones identity while trying to understand it rationally, and I came to a pretty firm conclusion:

They’re fucking nuts.

I’m not saying this in a transphobic sense, there is nothing wrong with being trans. (Original statement: But the medical terminology for what’s being experienced is gender dysphoria. It’s a mental illness.) It was pointed out to me by a commenter that this statement is inaccurate as of the updated DSM-5 definition, which sorta complicates my view here but doesn’t subtract from the overall point.

It’s important to acknowledge this because there’s a bit of a slippery slope going on where individuals with more severe mental issues are using gender politics to either

A: make themselves the bestest most specialist snowflake

Or

B: Obfuscate how fucking insane they actually are under the guise of anyone disagreeing being transphobic.

Anyway, this thread’ll be fun

Edit: the aforementioned Swarmgender joker has started posting about people in this thread on their own little community dedicated to how much of a victim they are lol

    I shoulda popped some popcorn.

    But, dude, there’s crazies that claim they’re jesus too. There’s crazies that claim they are the chosen people of whatever religion they follow.

    And yes, there are crazies that glom onto non religious groups.

    But you’re making the mistake of assuming that those crazies are the same as the group they glom onto.

    And, it’s important to note that I use the term crazies specifically to differentiate the batshit people that would use “swarm” as gender at all, and people that just have a neurological, psychological, or psychiatric issue. When the person is not only enough of an idiot to pretend they’re something that doesn’t exist and do it in public, that’s fucking crazy, which is willfully doing dumb shit contrary to the evidence of one’s own senses.

    Thus, flat earthers, your swarm idiot, people that believe politicians care about them, and other forms of public stupidity are crazies, but trans people are dealing with a complex medical issue that may or may not have associated psychological affects due to that.

      I know it’s a pretty spicy thread huh. I’m honestly just glad the majority of people seem to agree that Swarmgender is bizarre
