    Ugh why did I loooook

    Being attractive is one thing. But falling in love with someone and building fantasies of someone only to discover they aren’t what they say they are, none of what you were being lead to expect could ever happen. The woman you fell in love with has a penis and has been putting on a voice they learned from a vocal coach.

    Not all trans women have penises you fuck. If dicks are a deal breaker then all that tells me is you're not into cis men, some trans men, and some trans women.

    But somehow you’re the bad guy in that situation when you become outraged. Expecting someone to just be ok with finding out someone their interested is trans would be like telling a hetero woman that found out her husband was gay should stay together because “you just gotta accept and love him”.

    SOMEHOW you're the bad person for inexplicably finding trans people gross, for no other reason than they're trans. By all means there's plenty about me for why I might not be attractive or worth starting a family with: I have a dick, if I had a vag I'd be sterile, I have body hair, I'm a brunette and not a blonde, maybe we don't have the same interests, or there's just no spark, etc. Notice how it's possible to reject me without bringing up gender? Because you aren't attracted to my gender, you're attracted to any of those other features I listed (or put off).

    Also wtf is that example? There's trans people who come out after they're married and sometimes, the other partner's orientation just isn't as fluid as they'd need to be. Sucks, but maybe if trans people weren't afraid to be their authentic selves because of shitheads like you, we wouldn't have this problem.

    That’s absurd. There’s nothing to gain from remaining in that situation but heartbreak. At that point the illusion we all take part in out of respect for the trans individual has been misused to harm an innocent person. We should not expect anyone of any inclination to force themselves through that.

    Lmao I'm so glad your opinion of me as a person is just "an illusion". So humanizing. Being attracted to me and then feeling harmed by finding out I have a dick is literally what it feels like when your brain is on transphobia. You have every right to lose interest, but self-harm isn't healthy for you.

      So long as Funko Pop collectors are allowed to go on dates without disclosing, there can't be the slightest notion that trans people would have to out themselves.

      If you look a bit further down, someone decided to explain the issue by saying that every minority can be divided into good and bad groups, and then uses a scenario he made up to prove why this meme only applies to "bad" LGBT people. here's a link to it When I first read that comment, I scratched my head at it, because it's nigh incomprehensible. but apparently, some people found it a great summary? I also think the comments that are saying that trans people shouldn't call everything transphobic, and then say some transphobic shit are a great example of these people's lack of knowledge about trans people.

      TL;DR Reddit Delegna Est

      EDIT: The guy in that comment I linked reads R/EntitledParents, and seems to think that all the stories are real. I do not think he had developed critical thinking yet.

      But falling in love with someone and building fantasies of someone only to discover they aren’t what they say they are

      This reminds me of the Incel crusade against women who use cosmetics.

      Or that guy who shot up a bunch of massage parlors in Atlanta, for that matter.

      Literally just the Gay Panic Defense. How Dare You Make Me Horny! How Dare You Make Me Feel Things For You! My cognitive dissonance is your fault!

    I will never understand these people. It's nonlogic. If the sole reason you refuse to date someone is because they are trans well, tough luck shithead, you are literally being transphobic, hence the combination of "trans" and "phobic" a word that means "fear and/or hatred"

    If you're so scared of being an outspoken transphobe just keep your mouth shut, stop twisting yourself (and words) into pretzels. Just shut the fuck up and sit in your corner. The world isn't lacking in your opinion, nobody is asking you to add your voice to the cacophony. Nobody is asking you to chime in about an extremely marginalized and outnumbered minority. I take that back, bigots really enjoy you saying shit like that, so consider your bedfellows before lying down. Bed with dogs, wake up with fleas.
