nah he doesn’t say it’s motivating the trans identity. Using a marginalized status as a shield is something otherwise privileged people do fairly frequently.
but again, that’s a critique you or i could be making of somebody like Contrapoints not something a cis man should say as carelessly as possible.
He said “being trans is mostly a way to claim an identity to hide behind”
Thats literally saying people are mostly trans so that they can “claim” an identity to win twitter arguments
It’s absolutely unhinged and he obviously knows what he means this isn’t an ESL speaker or someone who struggles to find the right way of wording something.

being trans is mostly a way to claim a marginalized identity
Yes he literally is? He’s saying this is the majority reason for “a lot” of people. I don’t understand how you don’t see this.

Yea, and I have no problem with people pointing out specific times people do this. But that’s not what he’s saying. He’s literally saying being trans is mostly a way to get these victim points, for a lot of people (specifically white shitty people).
if he means how you read it then his statement is so fundamentally wrong that my brain refuses to process it that way. If he’s only talking about privileged white people who aren’t struggling day to day and aren’t part of anything then there’s a coherent thought in there somewhere and he should shut up and let people more competent and qualified to have that discussion have it.

We can only assume he means what he wrote down
