      It's funny how like every trans person I know irl is reserved and borderline arromantic, myself included, and yet it's automatically assumed that all the trans people who are friends must be in a polycule.

      Never mind how this person is complaining about "neoliberal" capitalism atomizing relationships only to conclude that the problem is essentially the disruption of the "nuclear family," which is itself a relatively anomalous and recent type of family organization.

        I'd guess it's fetishisation of trans people due to pornography leading people to draw conclusions and further fetishise them, while also creating "trans people are dangerous" narratives.

        My experience is kind of the opposite. Most of the ones I know are some form of poly, to the point where I feel the odd one out :(
