Why do people hate on transgenders so much?

[PotatoAss]

These people don't deserved to be hated on. They clearly can't help it. Someone being born a man, but having the mind of a female or vice versa is not something you make fun of someone for. I feel so many are misinformed about what transgender is. If you go on Tumblr, and look up transgender, you will be filled with bullshit. Say I man born a man. I have a dick, XY chromosomes. Everying about me is male. But, my mind is like that of a woman. Studies even show that transgenders have a different chemical balance in their brain to that of most people who are the same sex as them and closer to that of the opposite sex. This isn't something to hate on, it is a real issue that people go through. My little cousin, he is a boy. But he doesn't act, nor does he seem to think like a boy. He likes dresses. He plays with the girls, not the other boys. He likes being called she. His weird ass parents let him be girly, but they don't like him like this at all.

I don’t hate on transgenders. But there’s a legitimate debate to have whether the current method of allowing them to transition is in the best interest of their mental health. They have a very high suicide rate, and that’s even after transitioning.

There’s also the serious issue of allowing minors take hormones when they’re still not mature. These chemicals can have serious, life-long consequences.

There’s also the annoying trendsexuals.

I believe their suicide rate is so high, even after transition is because they know that they will never actually truly be the gender they want to be. Surgery helps appearance, yes. But, does it actually change your sex? No. Also, they will still get ridiculed and treated badly after transitioning, so that hurts them too

[eatadic]

The ‘they’re treated badly’ statement isn’t necessarily the cause of their suicide rate. Blacks during slavery and Jim Crow had a much lower suicide rate, and arguably were treated much worse.

Personally, I think the media just shows the very worst of both sides: on one side you have people who decry transgender people as abominations and on the other side you have transgender people who want EVERYONE to know they're transgender and DEMAND special treatment because of it. I think the overwhelming majority of people really don't care one way or another, as long as the person in question isn't a jerk.

[PotatoAss]

I agree. If my little cousin was old enough to understand the kind of things people say about trangenders, he would break down. He already gets made fun of by some kids enough for acting more like a girl than a boy

I don’t hate them but it’s annoying that they think their lifestyle has to be accepted when it doesn’t. They push their own agenda too much and get mad that people don’t agree with living like the opposite gender. People don’t have to like or accept it. Get over it.

[cipher42]

You don't have to accept it, you just have to respect it and not be an asshole about it. Let people live their lives the way they want, and have the basic decency to not go out of your way to be rude to people.

[Allie_Oops]

@cipher42 I don't have to respect it at all. People aren't going to respect something they don't agree with and if they are given a chance to voice that disagreement (Hello social media and democracy) then they will. Sucks to be transgender people but they need to stop expecting people to bend to their lifestyle and accommodate them.

[cipher42]

Respect as in afford basic dignity to, not recognize the authority of. Which you do have to do if you want to be a decent human being. If you want to be an asshole you can do that too, but don't expect people to respect your opinion in that case.

[Allie_Oops]

@cipher42 Disrespecting something you don't agree with doesn't make you an asshole or an abomination of a human being. I never said disrespect the people, but you don't have to respect the lifestyle they lead. You're entitled to not like it and voice that opinion. 'Tis life. Get over it.

[cipher42]

Again, if by "respect" you mean "not being an assume toward" then yeah it fucking does.

[cipher42]

*asshole toward. Damn autocorrect.

[Allie_Oops]

@cipher42 It absolutely does not. I personally believe it's an illness and they need to get treatment for it but if not hey, that's on them. Do you. But I get why people don't respect it and tell transgenders their lifestyle is gross.

[cipher42]

Like how respecting someone's personal space doesn't mean that you admire it, just that you don't interfere with it.

[Allie_Oops]

@cipher42 Lol, that's a terrible analogy. Nobody throws their personal space in your face.

[cipher42]

If you're negatively interfering with someone else's life when their life isn't affecting you, you're an asshole. That's just how it is, even if you dont want it to be that way.

[cipher42]

Nobody throws being transgender in your face. Them existing where you can see them isn't them "throwing it your face"

[PotatoAss]

What would you say to my little cousin if you met him Allie

[Allie_Oops]

Won’t know until I meet him

[PotatoAss]

Well he is only 8, so I hope you wouldn't say too much

[Allie_Oops]

He’s 8, why would I have an adult conversation with a child? Hopefully you don’t.

[PotatoAss]

Of course not

[cipher42]

So I'm curious, what exactly were you referring to by "shoving it in your face"? Has anyone actually come up to you and said "hey I'm trans and you have to accept that or I won't leave you alone"?

[Allie_Oops]

Actually? Yes lol. In person is annoying but social media and the news is the worst. If you dare not agree with their lifestyle then you’re an ass. It can’t possibly be because you just don’t agree. The LGBTQ community is entirely too sensitive.

[cipher42]

How is pro-trans stuff in the news any different than pro-anything else stuff? Again, how is that not just existing where you can see them? Amd how is the whole "if you don't agree with LGBT stuff you're shitty" any different than any other rhetoric about anything else, like calling people unamerican for not saying the pledge, or idiots or tyrants for supporting more government involvement? You're the one who invoked free speech to defend your positions, how come that only applies to you and not to those you disagree with?

[cipher42]

Basically, if you don't respect them, what the fuck makes you think they should respect you?

[Allie_Oops]

I didn’t say anything about pro trans being annoying. Geez, can you read? And most people don’t care.

[cipher42]

"I don’t hate them but it’s annoying that they think their lifestyle has to be accepted when it doesn’t."

You're complaining about them not respecting your opinion while you're not respecting their whole lifestyle. How is that not hypocritical?

[Allie_Oops]

I love... that I got MHO lol

[Rissyanne]

I don’t hate transgenders. I think they have a mental illness and need psychiatric help. What I dislike is when they want to force you into accepting their delusion.

[Papavera]

I don't hate on it. I don't understand it for sure. But I don't hate it. If my friend felt that way I would be okay with that.

[Gedaria]

I know I am in full agreement I have been in the same situation but kept my feelings to myself... Except my second wife she was bi sexual and was brilliant about it!!!

[JenSCDC]

Losers will find any excuse to hate.
