There is something very offensive in the way they insist that people were trans who aren’t around to speak for themselves. I find it really disrespectful , especially as they are all outraged at any instance of a trans person being ‘misgendered’ after they die. I’ve seen people on Twitter claiming that Joan of Arc was trans! More generally, I think the way they go around trying to recruit others, dead or alive, is a really bad look. On one hand they strongly deny that trans is a social contagion and post their little graphs about left handedness anytime it comes up, but they’re so quick to gloat about how many of their friends they’ve converted (“cracked their egg”

) as if it’s a competition. I’ve seen people say stuff like “if you’ve ever for one moment wondered what it would be like to be the opposite sex, then you’re trans, because cis people never think about things like that” so their bar for who is trans is also very low and it’s no wonder impressionable young people who are already feeling a bit insecure get swept up into it.
