Can someone be cis-trans by being trans and conforming to the prevailing societal image of a transperson?

This story makes no loving sense. I figured it was gonna be about how Michael was gay and just when he had found his perfect partner, he was beaten to death by a bigot or something. I figured the idiots on social media part was going to be a bunch of hateful comments. Then the post devolved into "women are the devil" and praise god or something.

I'm going to pretend it's a troll that wrote it.

No you see I watched Johnny Mnemonic and there's that one line, you know? Treating something is more profitable than curing it! So obviously they want to keep treating it! Let's just ignore that cancer isn't one singular disease and the wide variety of various cancers have a wide variety of cures. Let's also just forget that most cancers actually have been cured.

There are circumstances where pharmaceuticals ignore a treatment because there's no profit in it, but yeah - no amount of money is going to prevent a scientist from sticking his or her name up on the same pedestal as a Jonas Salk. If there was a cure for cancer someone would be leaking it.

The best is that antivaxxers preach vaccines are a conspiracy of big pharma when in reality vaccines are kind of the worst drug that pharma companies would want to make. Only need a few doses, cheap to prepare, last years and you don't get to sell more expensive drugs to the patient later when they catch the disease it is preventing.

A lot of people think it's possible to "cure" cancer meaning that no one will ever get cancer again, not just being able to treat it.

I've been using computers for close to thirty years, and I just taught myself touch-typing a couple of months ago. I imagine the apple "challenge" is intended for people who are not experienced typists.

It's perplexing to me to surround yourself with viewpoints that only exist to confirm your own opinions. Tumblr seems to bring out the most insane traits in people because it's literally an echo chamber. You can just block the people opposed to your lifestyle and write it off as them being hateful or oppressive towards your special group.

People do this all the time both online and in real life. The more specialized and specific media gets, the easier it is for you to lock yourself away in a fantasy world where all you hear is things about which you want to hear and nothing else. Just look at the far right. At least making up absurdly specific gender identities is mostly harmless.
