It seems to be a hateability thing.

Like people who do it, from what we’ve seen, will often do it in the context of stuff like “My headmates are (collection of random characters), my otherkin type is a Volvo, my gender is a butternut squash, my pronouns are (bunch of randomly typed letters) and I’m demiromanticpolyasexual.”

…And this is the point where, after seeing gender identity incorporated into this type of mockery *repeatedly and consistently*, we start to get really tired of having to preface/disclaimer things all the time with “I know multiples aren’t systematically oppressed, BUT (etc).”  Because there *is* something that people whose main goal is to create troll identities to mock/discredit real people, seem to parse as being similar in all the above.  Even if We Aren’t Systematically Oppressed Like Trans People Are.  At some point we just want to go “okay, this is an established fact, now can we talk about the fact that even if we aren’t, people seem to parse all those things— not identifying with your body, saying your gender or sexuality can’t be easily defined by existing categories, wanting to use a different pronoun for yourself— as being intrinsically related in one giant evil snowball of special snowflakery?”

(…there’s a post out there by someone going on about how they were evilly pulled into believing they were demisexual by evil people who wanted them to believe they were special until they pulled free of the cult of evil demisexuality, or something.  If we have this cult, how come I never got to be part of it? )
