Venting I fucking hate transphobia so much

[coolgal82]

being trans just fucking sucks enough already because dysphoria is awful, and then society comes along and just kicks you in the teeth.

they just banned puberty blockers for trans kids (specifically only trans kids! not cis ones!) here in the uk and the amount of people supporting it. just the amount of transphobes everywhere it feels like its just over and it's never gonna end, people are just gonna keep being transphobic and we're never gonna get anywhere with this shit. its just so hard not to go doomer mode with this shit when even so called progressives arent trans accepting atleast not fully/truly. i fucking hate it. i hate this world i hate society i hate transphobes.

transphobes deserve their own special layer of hell where they get to experience all the stuff they vote/advocate for for trans people but while being trans. i fucking despise them. theyre inhuman and have zero fucking empathy. they want us to fucking die.

@coolgal82 I'm cis, and I hate it too. I'm so sick of my friends being made to feel like shit because people can't mind their own business. Especially for people who realize they are trans earlier in life PBs can help them avoid the need for risky surgeries down the line, and let them live the life they want.

It won't be progressives who are the most trans accepting, it would be Libertarians - people who want to live their lives with the least amount of government intrusion. Even if they don't accept trans people from a personal view, at least they won't support the government telling people what to do with their own bodies.

ironically most libertarians ive seen are pretty right wing socially and are transphobic. well like the right-libertarians atleast. libertarian leftists (like libertarian socialists/anarcho communists/etc) are almost universally accepting of trans stuff really, most right libertarians ive seen dont support trans people even while saying people should be free to be trans they still support discrimination against trans people

 

[Namelesa]

I hate how many people are transphobic too. Just makes me feel like the whole world is against us. Know there are people that will accept us and know that our existence isn't wrong. Listen to people that support us so you feel better about being trans and If you can avoid transphobic stuff on the internet so you are less reminded of transphobia existing. I mostly just try stay ignorant from it so that it doesn't bring me down.

 

[sunbleachedfliess]

i truly hope transphobes experience our pain and suffering tenfold

ngl at this point we need some way to simulate how hard being trans is and i think every single cis person should have to go through that even for a little bit maybe then theyd gain some fucking empathy (atleast the ones that didnt have it already atleast)

100% agree, and i'm chronically ill too so i feel the same way about that. why can't people have empathy without having gone through specific things???

too sleepy for anything meaningful but sympathies from another trans person in england. recently hit half a decade on the nhs wait list but i'm full of illicit offshore estradiol by now. always gonna be options for us.

 

[ConstantPain]

I'm so sorry for how awful and transphobic so many people are! You do have some cis supporters like me and it pisses me off that politicians are able to make such hateful, harmful laws and policy. True libertarians would support people living their best lives without governmental interference. In the US, I've never been able to support the Libertarian party though because they have gone to the right. At least in the US there are some areas that are more accepting. When I lived in NY I was fortunately in a diverse, liberal area and people had more individual rights. Now I am in Florida and I hate it here for many reasons. It baffles me that people think they have more freedom here than in democratic states, apparently they are too dumb to realize that personal liberties continue to decrease here. Teachers can't even have pictures with their same sex partners visible in classrooms!
I fly my flags of support proudly and have had people stop to say thank you but I truly wish I could be more of an advocate. I hope that everyone can connect to someone else who values and respects them, regardless of our differences. I hope that you can find people to listen, comfort, and support you!

Transphobes are almost cute in a way. It's impressive how they, with such confidence, disfavor any insight, criticality, rigor, allowing themselves to be trapped in what little reality they understand, not only ambivalent but averse to expansion in their intellectual ability, completely unbeknownst to them. I suppose part of that is commonplace in human nature, but this attitude portrayed in transphobes are of a unique level of pathetic, and the callous tone I use to write this is reflective of that.



sorry i just needed an excuse to write that

 

[sillypuppygirl]

i will never understand why people care soo much about another persons gender. like hpw does it affect you in any way. it really pisses me off

 

[Liammm]

Fuck them all, it gets on my last damned nerve. I hate it here. In america, our own president is going to kick trans people out of military, try to ban them from schools and do the same with puberty blockers and fucking non-existent surgery. They make it impossible to not hate them.

If they kick my fucking friends out, who signed their lives for this god forsaken country, I'm gonna fucking crash out.

First off , I'm not looking to start a fight, just want to get some understanding from an alternative viewpoint. Please don't pile on me or I'll tell you to fuck off.

What I remembering the 70's, 80's, and 90's was that the "T" stood for "transvestite"- a guy who knew he was a guy but liked dressing up in women's clothing. Fast forward 30 years and T" stands for transgender.

Serious question as I want to understand-if someone has anorexia (sp), we don't encourage them to continue to lose weight because they are fat. We tell them that they have a mental condition and treat it as such.

I truly want to understand- is transgender a mental issue, and should be treated as such?

Cue the wave of hate coming down on me…

being trans isnt like anorexia, it's not an incorrect perception of your body or anything like anything dysmorphia related (although alot of trans people often have some kind of dysmorphia, like if you look in trans communities there are people who pass really well but find the tiniest flaws ever or even non-existent flaws and believe that they dont pass), and cant be treated in the same way. i'd love if it could be, being trans sucks and even through transition personally i dont feel like i'll ever be happy, but like it's just a different thing so cant just be treated like that.

i dont really remember much of the exact science and alot isnt fully known i dont think but yeah

 

[L'absent]

I understand how painful and frustrating it can be to live in a world that often does not accept you for who you are, especially in a context where transphobia, unfortunately, is still present, both in institutions and in people. Living as a trans person in a place where the struggle for respect and visibility is constant can seem like an unbearable burden, and although the situation has improved in many aspects, the path towards equality and understanding is still long. However, I want you to know one important thing: *you deserve to be exactly who you are*, and no one has the right to make you feel inadequate, invisible, or less than human. The difficulties you face do not define your worth, and your existence is incredibly powerful, important, and wonderful just as it is.

Transgender brains are more like their desired gender from an early age

Brain activity and structure in transgender adolescents more closely resembles the typical activation patterns of their desired gender, according to new research. The findings suggest that differences in brain function may occur early in development and that brain imaging may be a useful tool...

I don't want to seem boring. However, before addressing certain such delicate topics, it is better to find out a little about what it means to be dysphoric and perhaps understand the difference between gender, orientation, gender role, etc.

 

[avoid_slow_death]

I think it's ridiculous and seriously immature to hate on someone merely because the way they are makes them uncomfortable. Worse yet, most people won't even try to read up on it, or, God forbid, talk and get to know a Trans person to see their pov.

I at one point was not comfortable with it. I wasn't anti, just thought it was strange and a choice. But when I was living with my brother and his gf, we had a roommate that identified as male. Tbh, when I first met him, I thought he was so that's how I saw him.

Him and I ended up speaking quite a bit. He would actually come to me after a while and discuss his feelings and struggles with it and the way he was treated for it. This despite being best friends with my brother's gf, because in his words, he felt she teased him too much and didn't take him seriously, whereas I never did that and mostly listened, occasionally giving thoughtful statements and answers to the topic at hand. I liked him. He had his issues, we all do. But him being teans definitely wasn't one of them. At least not to me.

I just wish more people would inform themselves better about things they don't fear or understand. World would be a far better place if we all strived towards that.

Edit: Stupid ass autocorrect made some sentences here sound wrong. Had to go back and correct a few words. Apologies if someone read it before the corrections.

Being trans isn't a mental issue. Its just that society leads people into certain ways to behave, to look and how that person should be referred, treated. This causes gender dysphoria in some people as they feel like they should be and look and be treated like a different gender that isn't the one they were assigned at birth. Society has made it that being called and treated as a different gender to mean a lot so someone may feel discomfort at being treated as the gender that they were forced to be on birth. People may just also not like how their body is and want something more like the opposite sex. Cis people (people who aren't trans) can also experience this. For example a cis woman may feel dysphoric if they have facial hair.

The easiest way to relieve gender dysphoria is with gender transition so that can be to change your name, clothes, hair, pronouns. Most trans people will probably want to take medication that suppresses their primary hormone of their original sex and medication that gives them the primary hormone of the opposite sex to change their body to look more like the body of the gender that person feels. Some trans people may also gets surgeries to change their body into more of what they want and to lessen dysphoria. The hormones and surgeries are also doesn't negatively effect physical health that much if done safely while improving mental health by a lot when compared to something like anorexia which can make people become underweight and eat much less which is very physically unhealthy and (at least in my experience) didn't improve my emotional well being as I just wanted to keep losing more weight and still felt guilty about eating food.

Hormones and gender transition is actually what allowed me to recover from my anorexia and gender dysphoria so I would say gender transition, hormones and maybe surgeries is helpful for people who feel gender dysphoria and people who feel like a different gender.

 

[sickdog]

I am transgender. I have more or less completed my transition. I pass completely and live my life 100% stealth. No one would guess I was born female. But I can't live in this godforsaken body anymore. I wouldn't wish being trans on my worst enemy. I will never have a penis and I can't cope with that. My body is wrong. No amount of transitioning will fix me. I got my firearm safety certificate today and have a gun and ammo picked out. I will blow my head off soon.

 

[cali22♡]

I'm also transgender but I can't dress accordingly because everyone around me is against lgbt. I also couldn't dress appropriately in my room because someone comes into my room every second - life just wants to see me suffer...

Transphobia is fucking sick and disgusting and is the main factor in me wanting to end my life tbh.

I'm bisexual and when I see discrimination of any kind I just don't really give a shit anymore even when it's right next to me because I know in the end it's meaningless even if the hate stopped even if humanity suddenly went good it would be all for nothing we will all die sooner or later and I'm hoping it will be sooner for me

Interesting. I need to read your response and think about it a bit.

 

[Worndown]

You may hate them but they absolutely fear you.
They are scared, fragile and insecure people that cannot tolerate anything unlike them. I suspect many of them caught themselves thinking about these things and freaked out.

from an even worse country for trans rights - russia - i relate to this so much. i feel immense pressure all accross the world especially with very conservative governments taking power ._. i have so little hope for humanity right now, and i feel like it's going to escalate to a world war and a giant step back in human rights in general. i try to not think about it. but it's just another thing on a big pile of worries.

trans rights are human rights, we are all here for each other. you have to stay yourself no matter what. hugs
