I'm a transgender person, and I'm very tired of people, here and in real life, seeing me as something other than a person.

It seems like cis people always emblems of things we don't represent. For example, when I'm talking to people and my trans status comes up people feel like they need to "debunk" transgenderism to me. Like, they have an intricate theory stewing in their head they are just waiting to spill on someone. Everyone has their pet theory: I was groomed or sexually abused, that I have autogynephelia, that I'm actually a self hating gay, or that jewish media tricked me, my mom had a hormonal problem, etc, etc...

Once I see that they are basically just autistically regurgitating a script they read elsewhere, I try to address their concerns, but so many time they justdon't listen, and look right past me like I'm not even there. Like I'm an abstract contingency made corporeal that they need to intellectually combat. It's so tiring. Not to mention when the opposite happens and left wing people assume that I'm a more extreme version of themselves (I voted for trump this November, for the record) and deny my gender (and even call me slurs) when it's apparent that I'm not.

I figure I'm going to get a lot of similar responses to this post, so I just want to ask why do you think any individual trans person is responsible for / or behind stuff you see online you don't agree with? That's the real issue here.
