Thing is you have a nucleus of like a relatively small amount of people who are genuinely hateful, and then a whole bunch of other people who just don't get it.
Are the latter also responsible if the former does something hurtful? I think so.
Like I think they adopted a sea lion somewhere, and I can't think of a single other positive thing they've managed to do. Because that kind of stuff requires collaboration and cohesion.
Whereas doxxing and various threats only require one lone lunatic to claim he's doing it for the whole group.
Copyin' my tweets
This vague relationship with an animal makes rape and death threats okay.
I have a friend who has a giraffe named after her. She's wanted in seven countries but no one can touch her now.
More people have said that and been killed than there are thorium decay products.
4chan is incredibly transphobic, even on /lgbt/, which is mostly trans people. It's not much more transphobic than a lot of people in real life, though, and that is why I learn to not be sensitive to it, even if some of it is really hateful and disgusting. For now, I will try to not live in a fantasy world where I can pretend to have a vag and be a "real" female from birth and no one challenges that and etc., because the reality is that I'm a boy who wants to be a girl and lots of people will hate me for that, and the closer I get to my dream of emulating a cis female, the more they will hate me.

I think you have perhaps allowed yourself to indulge in self-loathing again.
Being transgendered is not a "fantasy", and I'm sure you know that. Anyone who tells you that is a bigot.
Surely you would not accuse other transgendered people of indulging in fantasy, would you? There is no reason to do it to yourself.
Man is a most complex simple creature: see what he weaves, and how base his reasons for doing so.
Jesus Fucking Christ. I totally forgot that the army can call me back at any time.
I don't know where anything is, my uniform doesn't fit, I don't remember any of the commands, and I just. Can't do it.
They didn't call me, mind you. Looking at my social services stuff just reminded me that it exists. Hopefully the last few weeks of my mandatory service (where I was basically the worst worker imaginable) made them decide that I'm just not worth it.

I don't even remember anybody's fucking name.
But then there are lots of references that state "your unit will brief you" and nobody ever did, so maybe they don't want me back at all and never did.
Or, someone fucked up somewhere and now I could be fucked.

Nothing happened, I was just looking at the army's internet portal. There was stuff I hadn't considered in a while.
And I also don't know. I'm the only one of three sons in the army. My older brother is in civil defense (rescue and stuff) and my younger brother is with the police.
Is this sort of like selective service registration here in the US where it's technically possible you could be called up at any time but fantastically unlikely or does it actually happen somewhat often?
Some people seem to enjoy it, I know I wouldn't though.
Anyway, my taskbar just vanished for a minute, my computer made the same sound it makes whenever it's opening something particularly processor-intensive, and then it reappeared.
Oh, yeah, i've also seen a lot of posts about 'funny anecdotes' that happened in boot camp, which turn out to just be some poor sod getting publically humiliated in a really bad way, sometimes to the point where he breaks down.

Given that bootcamp is designed to make you antisocial and generally incapable of feeling any empathy for other human beings, that's not shocking.
Also, the second I said "something seems fishy", my wi-fi stopped cutting and my computer is running smoothly.
My stepbrother joined the army - I am pretty sure he had a fairly idealized version of what it would be in his mind before joining. He's pretty anxious to just finish up and move on past it when he can, now.
I don't like how the military is so glorified so often in the public sphere. I understand why it is, but I still don't like it.

but this is how hate groups recruit members: they claim not to be attacking a group, but to defending a common cause that is under attack
the indoctrination process is a gradual one
i mean a number of anons on 4chan
i don't mean 'all of 4chan' any more than when heapers complain about 'tumblr social justice' they are talking about all of tumblr
/v/
Vivian James is supposed to sound like 'video games'.
Still, people have every right and reason to object to being discriminated against.
Maybe your unit hasn't briefed you because they have no intentions of calling you back.
How common an occurrence are we talking about here?
Hopefully nothing will come of it.
i don't know why this never twigged with me.
It's really obvious, now you point it out.
i always felt kind of inferior reading about this stuff. Like, weak, too emotional.
