nothing specific, just the usually bitching and moaning and uptight assholery on the ftm. i just get so tired of it. they flip a gasket any time anyone says "bio-male" or "bio-female". (someone yelled at someone else for that once and said "not too many trans guys would be happy if you called them biologically female. except that WE ARE. we have vaginas and boobs and uteri SO YES we are biologically female, sorry to burst your bubble, guys. it doesn't make us any less of a man.) they will tear you a new one any time you say anything that is remotely un-PC or that they interpret as un-PC. the only reason i am still a member of that forum is because every now and again there is some useful advice on what doctors are good for what surgery and how to do things like get your birth certificate changed and whatnot. i just don't see the point in being so up in arms about everything all the time. activism is fine, i totally support it, but constantly bitching at other transfolk for not behaving the way they think a trans person should behave is bullshit.
Part of it, I think, is that so many queer folk are struggling to identify what, beyond the sexuality, makes them difference. To cultivate SOME sort of community, and when people don't play by THEIR rules they feel obligated to set them back in line. With force. And caps. And the occasional misspelled swear.
er, sorry, that turned into an essay. d:
