[STM]

I've yet to see a trans person/ person who calls their self trans, that is empirically doing so to garner attention.

When there is a group that is often suppressed, under represented or faces constructive discrimination, there will always be a subsequent percentage that is prone to being more vocal about what defines them to society; what causes their discrimination. This sub-demographic will make this quality a part of whom they are because they are taking up the mantle as a defender of their group. Becoming this 'extremist' does not make them somehow inferior to the quieter members of the group, simply because of their perceived extremism, rather, it is a simple psychological-social tool employed by conservative individuals holding structural power to brand these people as extremists.

Socialists will always have communists, black rights activists will always have Pink Panthers and the LGBT+ community will always "radicals"; these far-left thinkers are only a response, and in fact a creation, of oppression.
