    shoved down everyone's throat

    What's with anti-LGBTQIA+ bigots and repetitive predictable use of that phrasing?

      Freudian slip. "I hope all these [slur]s will not shove it down my throat... God it is so thick... I think I'd gag."

      It's not new, it's something bigots say whenever they want to overtly direct their ire towards something that isn't particularly offensive; they know if they were more open they'd be rightfully hated, so they couch their terminology to make it sound like the minority group is oppressing them.

      Queer people who fall for this shit and engage in respectability politics and/or assimilationism make me so sad.

      People will say the whole “I would support veganism if it weren’t extreme” bullshit too. No you wouldn’t, you’re just an ass who has a laughable excuse for exploiting animals

      That was my first thought too! It has that Lovecraftian, Dreherian horror of "They're gonna trans me!" and it's like, why is that both your firm belief and first concern lol

      jokingly being called an egg is a right of passage for anyone hanging out with enough trans people.

      everyone knows the actual trans prime directive means we can’t try to tell anyone they’re trans even if we suspect it. you have to figure it out yourself.

    Boy I sure am glad that all the claims of transphobia was just Hexbear "saving face" because we were upset that the sane reasonable people didn't like us for being tankies.

    I've had trans people try to convince me that I am trans

    lmao isn't that mostly a bit where trans folks look back at their own perspective and are like "ah should have been obvious". I've seen a handful of people who used to be like this guy, then had someone say this to them, then they were like "o shit" and they've been on HRT for 3 years.

    Idk maybe this guy should try on some skirts before he goes showing his ass on forums.

    turtlepower goes where trans people exist

    Trans person: "Well howdy friend! Are you trans too?"

    turtlepower: "STOP TRYING TO MAKE ME TRANS!"

    this is always such a funny tack for them to take. do they think we want "allies" as bloodless as they are? "you were mean once so i flipped" alright well i'd rather just count that as an enemy 100% of the time because they're literally worth less than garbage

    trying to make the whole world trans

    Fucking dumb. It's like saying anti-racists are trying to make the world a single race. No dumb ass they're trying to make the world not racist.

    They're being told people should be able to choose the kind of person they want to be without having to worry about all the gendered propaganda we've been fed our entire life. Their response:

    I will NOT stand for that shit.

    Just because they're unhappy with what they were born with doesn't mean everyone feels that way.

    Just a complete fundamental misunderstanding of everything while also being an entitled shit. I doubt they fit perfectly in to society's cubicuboctahedron role they were assigned at birth and drilled in to them every day of their life by all the people they love. Stay ignorant.
