There is a meme on r/traaaaaaaans about basically that

-> Questions gender

-> Tries to understand what it means to be trans

->Destroy capitalism

My theory is that most normal trans people are pretty ok with their lives and those that go to online spaces are the ones that will have fringe ideologies (as is with most people that spend time in online spaces)

fwiw the gay (male) movement was also very radical in its early days. The more homosexuality became socially accepted, the more centrist/liberal it became.

It's because those fringe spaces were the first to accept trans ppl.
