I am cisgender

They still went through transition and faced the same problems as any other trans person. They still feel they were transgender, they aren't denying that, but at this point in time they're not because they've fully transitioned. There's nothing that really makes them transgender anymore, so they must be cisgender.

I don't see any elitism from OP, she's just sharing her thoughts and experiences like everyone else. She's been civil and friendly with basically everyone here, despite people needlessly attacking her. The only elitism I see is the few people here accusing OP of being transphobic or scared of being labelled as trans, and saying she should be proud to be trans like they are instead of acting like a coward who makes the rest of us look bad.

Why should OP have to leave because she no longer has to face the problems people who are pre or mid-transition face? And why should that same thing not apply to people who are post-transition and still label themselves trans, but still feel the need to stick around? The only difference is how they define the word "transgender". If OP is bad, why are they not?

I mean think about it. They're not really facing the same problems as everyone else now because they're done. That's it, they probably pass 100% of the time now. Why should they stick around bragging to everyone who hasn't transitioned and rubbing it in, as if they're better than us?

That's it, I think we should get rid of all the post-transitioners here! Elitist scum, all of them! /s
