Not just any rant, a blatantly discriminatory one!

You DO see the contradiction where you claim to not care about somebody’s sexuality, yet get offended when you hear about it, right? And what’s worse, you don’t just get offended, but you turn around and directly insult those people by insisting they have a mental illness!

What you’re really saying is that you’re so offended by someone else’s harmless actions that you wish they would disappear.

Eh, I think you're missing their point. This is one of those "Why do you get to claim you're special, but nobody is telling me I'M special?" kind of comments. They're saying they just want people to suck as much as anyone else and it all be equal. It's a stupid argument, but definitely different than your interpretation and response.

Not really harmless tho, i've seen countless places turn into a trans circlejerk.

As for the "caring" part, i don't care whatever you are, just don't mention it. I don't need to hear "im trans" every second, or it being mentioned in every message, or your name, your blog etc etc

Please elaborate, how exactly are you harmed by a trans circlejerk?

Help my fragile gender identity is being harmed by the trans agenda

It was probably unproductive of me to try to talk about it further with them, and I really wanted to sign off with "btw I'm nonbinary" on every reply I made

Not really harmless tho, i’ve seen countless places turn into a trans circlejerk.

What exactly would that even be? "hnghh, we respect other people's choices and individuality, hngggh" How awful. All we want is to have the same respect and autonomy granted to straight and/or cis people to be granted to us.

As for the “caring” part, I don’t care whatever you are, just don’t mention it.

And that's harmful because unless you truly are consistent and also don't want men to mention their girlfriends or wives and for women to never mention their boyfriends or husbands around you, you're treating people differently based on their gender or sexuality, allowing someone to talk about their home life, what they may have done over the weekend with their partner, but only if it ain't gay or trans.
