>>43350511A lot of trans people isolate themselves in communities where people do nothing but praise them and tell them they're strong and beautiful. Yet, they're still sad in spite of that. A lot of trans people are trapped in self-destructive trains of thought, and outside validation isn't the cure for inner conflict and anxiety. The ones you see voicing how proud they are of being trans aren't truly comfortable with themselves.
My point is that the issue is more complicated than an action-reaction state of being, because western people are prone to anxiety and trans people aren't an exception to that. I think a lot of people become trans because they see it as a way to resolve inner conflict. It also gives them easy access to validation.
