Before “political correctness” set in, there was a consensus about these “trannies”. They are homosexuals who are too ashamed of their impulses to even admit them to themselves, hence the neurotic fantasy that they were “meant to be a woman” takes hold in their minds.
A lot of “regular” homosexuals understand this and do not like the trannies because their whole existence goes against the “gay pride” mentality. There are also conflicts because trannies will date homosexual men, then decide that they want to be a “woman”, when their homosexual lovers are only interested in dating a man (parodied on a South Park episode, but it is a common phenomenon).
I really don’t know what drives any part of the homosexual community to be so in-your-face.
This whole “pride” thing is a fool’s construct meant to bully acceptance for a position that is not logical, nor perpetuating in terms of being self-sustaining.
It is an aberration that crops up, but it is by no means ‘normal’. They, media and politicians would have us believe they are a very significant part of the overall population. They clearly are so very not.
