Between “immature kids” and the people who use kids as punching bags for reactionary talking points, it’s really not the immature kids who are the problem. It’s the reactionary elements of society that forces LGBT people into the closet, not the “weird” LGBT people making the “cool” LGBT people look bad. If I appeal to the reactionary’s standard of social norms by contrasting my relative normality against the “weirder” LGBT people, and blame the “kids” for the reactionary hate directed at us, while claiming I’m just an innocent cool trans person not a weird attention-seeker, then my standard is to compromise with reaction, to bargain and beg to be seen as normal, and to allow bigotry to continue against any LGBT person who is “weirder” than me by some impossible to define set of rules. The bigotry was always going to come out against us one way or another. It makes more sense to just address bigotry at its source and forge ahead with new ideas than to blame each other for not looking or acting normal enough by the standards that keep us living in closets and facing attacks when we come out.

I have no idea what you’re going on about.
