Finally, no poster has denied that this poster ‘exists’. That is just more hyperbole and emotional manipulation. They exist. They post on MN.
To be fair, I have denied that the (inconsistent) character Butterfly plays on MN exists. There is very clearly a real person - and we can all agree this person is male - making the posts. But the delighted and perfectly transitioned - yet hopelessly excluded from society and riddled with side effects - character is (I’m absolutely convinced) largely a work of fiction for rhetorical purposes. I simply do not believe the story Butterfly spins about themselves and their ‘lived experiences’ is true. Some parts of it may be. But it is crystal clear that other parts are total fabrication.
That has no bearing on whether trans people exist at all. Any more than the existence of fantasists on evil MIL threads (or whatever) has any bearing on whether MILs exist.
I do think that Butterfly is so angry and desperate to claim everything is about denial of existence partly because Butterfly knows full well that the character they’re playing on MN is to some extent a work of fiction.
It’s that accusations are confessions thing to some extent. At least that is how I interpret all this ‘how dare you deny my existence’ stuff on MN.
There’s also the weirdness where Butterfly insists that they are a super special outlier - they are not just trans but have a DSD; they pass perfectly making them not like other trans people, and so on. Yet apparently Butterfly speaks for and knows the ‘lived experiences’ of trans people. it’s almost as if everyone, women and trans people are merely scenery and props in the Tale of ButterflyHatched.
