vaush did not write the post. the sentiment expressed by this user fits things ive heard from lots of undereducated young people---who are overwhelmingly pro-lgbt but woefully unequipped otherwise
that's bad, i do not want to go through the post history of random redditor u/BesetByTiredness225 to write the same kind of tailor-made character assassination rant about them as well.
But i can say for sure that trans advocacy isn't something this person has much to say about, either. Realizing you're trans and realizing that liberalism is not leftism are not remotely comparable. The counter to conservatives claiming that 17 year olds are too young to decide if they're trans is not that 17 year olds are as reflected and educated as adults, but that some, by no means all, but some trans kids securely know their gender identity when they're as young as 5. They intiuitively understand that people use the wrong name and pronouns for them, that they want to put them in clothes misaligned with their gender identity and that anybody else is simply wrong about assigning them their birth gender, and they maintain that insight for the rest of their lifes. Unfortunately i have yet to see somebody being able to completely refute liberal-chauvinist propaganda when they're only 5 years old.
