You know, I've kind of felt this before.... But the narrative is absurd.

The problem is that we experience prejudice. A lot of prejudice -- thoughts or assumptions not based on any facts or reason. It is reasonable to assume that every population is varies; this is factual. We can observe that no population has a certain intrinsic characteristic other than that identity that separates them from the general population because they are bias.
When Kanye West posed up in his white lives matter shirt, was that the view of the black community?

Becoming a " representative of your population" is a clear indication that your population experiences prejudice. Obviously not all transgender women believe the same thing, Caitlyn Jenner is a Fox News host now.

So why are we faulting our transgender brothers and sisters for " giving us a bad name," and blaming ourselves instead of blaming others. As in, no it's not our fault that we are ourselves, it's your fault for not being okay with us being ourselves.

Likewise, I'm a scientist -- I take a very scientific approach to my politics and transgender ideology. Therefore, I keep up with the Biology and Social Science papers, and it's just frustrating to see transgender people go on the news and not know the answers. But once again, they are not representatives of our population -- they're just transgender people living their lives, not semantics debators are scientists.

While I certainly get the idea, and have felt the emotion before, I stop myself now because I have realized this.
