I wonder why I do that sometimes...What's the mechanism in my head?
2Literally just self harm.
I know some people do it because they see even hurtful content as reaffirming. Some people do it as like a "call of the void" thing.
2I sometimes like seeing people say hateful things about groups I'm a part of or directly to me (online) because I think its funny how ridiculous some people are. Granted, its missing the "certain to make me feel bad" part.
2I think it's like...A rush? I don't even know.

Imposter syndrome
1Maybe trying to better understand or keep tabs on the enemy? ‘Enemy’ may be an imperfect word to describe such people but I also don’t think it’s necessarily wrong.

In my opinion, as an old grey-haired dude, part of this movement should be folk realizing it's fine to be whatever you want to be. Be free, validate yourself; And realize nobody else's opinion matters in the slightest. The internet is full of hateful garbage if you look for it. It is a skewed bias. For every 1 person spouting hate there are 100x or a 1000x or 10,000x more positive and supportive folk out there either not posting on social media or not seeing a post like this randomly popup in their feed. And so you don't see the positive vibe others have toward trans for the same reason as nobody ever gets pulled over by a cop for the cop to say "Hey, just pulled you over to comment on how well you are driving today"
