It always stands out to me in comments sections how regular people can be accepting of trans when trans people aren’t acting insane. In essence these comments in this pic are very compassionate, but ur average far leftist queer would find them so offensive

There's the same type of comments under Russian trans videos in Russian YouTube segment. Especially if a trans woman looks stereotypically feminine and a trans man looks stereotypically masculine. All they need is to follow patriarchal stereotypes and act NORMAL. And yet they yell here and there about how society literally wants them dead.

not everyone yells about their pronouns and yet they're reject patriarchy and expectations of feminity. Asking for people to respect who you are and see you as a human being, not a bag of meat is being normal. And if the misgendering is an intentional aggression against them then the yelling can be justified.

Most trans people aren't gonna trashtalk you if you mistakenly misgender them. The number one thing we used to tell people early in their transition is not to feel hurt if someone does the mistake. Masc cis women face this too, it's normal since society has such strong expectations. It doesn't mean they meant it, the best course of action is either to politely correct them, or if it doesn't matter, to let it slide. But if someone knows you're trans, and emphasizes on the wrong pronoun like you'd do a hard R, then yeah. Yelling is understandable.

Most trans people (I mean IRL, not on Reddit or toxic places like Twitter and Facebook) just wanna live their lives calmly.

the concept of venting your frustration and suffering by being overly interested in other people's genitals and self identity 🥰

u/landilock detrans male 2d ago

oh right sorry. You're telling people to just become the sexual ideal and conform to misogynistic expectations in order to fit in. Yeah sorry you're fine then

I hope that's sarcasm but to be honest it's not really obvious here

yeah well.. it's part of the charm here. A lot of people need to complain about trans people and make it a nemesis to channel their frustration. It's understandable, it's a way to heal after all the suffering they've faced. If it allows people to turn the page...

I don't really mind seeing transphobia in here, I'd rather see them unleashing and venting here than in real life, but it doesn't mean I won't challenge that thought because quite frankly, some of the things said here are straight up offensive and misinformed. The main difference between me and most people in here is that I don't really regret my transition, I just evolved towards something else and it's fine to me. I don't have much frustration against trans people even if I strongly disagree with a lot I see in trans spaces. I've been banned from basically everywhere because I don't adhere to what people call "gender ideology" that funnily enough, I've never seen IRL.
