    /tttt/ is incredibly self destructive. Like, I’m sympathetic to the core emotion that a lot of freshly out trans people are cringe about it, but their cringe is the price of self discovery, of experimentation, and authenticity in a difficult and awkward stage of relearning who you are and who you can be. /tttt/ is a hub of people so fearing being cringe that they forget to live and to learn to be authentic (something I too once struggled with). And in a great irony it too is cringe, while the cringe of unabashed self expression and experimentation contains the seeds of coolness.

    In short, I’m glad they’re touching grass.

      yeah, I don’t know who thinks /tttt/ isn’t cringe, lol

      I tend to think of it more as a kind of black-pill space where people congregate to bond over their shared misery, social alienation, gender dysphoria, etc.

      I think their hatred of others is symptomatic of their self-loathing more than anything.
