If you’re transphobic, your opinion is too pointless for what I’m seeking and I don’t need negativity.
If you are transphobic then ignore this because you have no reason to care.
This post is for LGBT supporters ONLY. I will report any hateful comments.
I am a LGBTQ ally. I am concerned that the community is taking things too far. Many LGBTQ people are aware of it.
ALL the community wants is to be accepted but it seems, nowadays, that people are involving stuff that are unnecessary.
I want to talk about the transgender community.
Transphobia is getting worse.
I’m afraid that it’s due to the community doing things that are making them not want to support them and many ignorant people are generalizing the WHOLE community based on the actions they’ve noticed in SOME of them.
As I am an ally, it is breaking my heart, how bad it’s getting. I want to figure out why it’s getting this bad.
I would love to hear what your opinions are. I hope people are interested in reading this.
Probably because nowadays people have a bigger platform to voice their opinions, and also because trans people/drag queens/crossdressers are getting increasingly popular in pop culture. Personally I think people need to just chill out and let people do their thing, we only live once and there are 7 billion of us. Goddamn.
Because the whole premise of 'gender' itself is increasingly becoming an antiquated relic, insofar as it's founded upon static and insurmountable 'gender roles' defining what 'gender' you are. Tell me, what makes you "feel like a man/woman"? And just how does doing something like "preferring to wear traditionally male/female clothing", or even the primary historical defining trait of gender, "being primarily sexually aroused by members of the opposite gender", define what gender you, or anyone else, is in today's society where LGBQ relationships have been completely normalized?
Take your stereotypical 'token gay male', for instance- the effeminate, passive, submissive crossdressing fashionista who always takes it up the ass, and loves all things girly. Going by a transgender advocate's argument, how is such an individual NOT simply a "closeted heterosexual trans-female", as opposed to being a "openly homosexual cis-male" as they themselves would (and do, all the time) claim? And how do YOU think that the "loud and proud to be gay", self-identified cis-males feel right now, about being told relentlessly by people like you that "NO, you're NOT gay, your 'gay culture' doesn't exist, you're ALL JUST CLOSETED HETEROSEXUAL TRANSFEMALES!"?
It’s not I don’t know anybody who is afraid of the transgender people because that’s what Phobia means you have a fear of X
no transgender people do you need to get mental health it is a mental illness we cannot have the idea that men can be women and women can be men and still have those words in use. What is a woman beyond self identity what is a man Beyond identity. Is what makes a woman a woman just because she identifies as a woman or is it because she has a vagina that’s ability to give birth and does not have a Y chromosome. What makes a man a man is it just the way he acts is it just stereotypical or is it the fact that he has a Y chromosome a penis and get a woman pregnant. What does it mean to be a man what does it mean to be a woman what are the physical characteristics that make up a man and what are the physical characteristics that make up a woman if you do not basically definition on genitalia or your Just basing it on stereotypes which means the Word men and women literally mean nothing.
Actually it's not getting worse. It's getting better. My cousin was convicted of female impersonation and of driving while disguised, both crimes at the time and he died in prison as a result. Today in nearly all jurisdictions the police can't put you in jail for wearing a dress, having long hair and putting on make up and nail polish. There are far more laws protecting trans people today than there were ten years ago and all the more than there were twenty years ago. A recent rush by a number of states to take away trans rights this year is not a long going trend but a temporary bump in the road. It is backlash against a much more highly visible trans population. The playing field will get back to the progress of leveling and more progress will be made in the years to come. Every movement has it's ups and downs.
Interesting question, thank you for asking it. I think the reasons can be narrowed down to the fact that we live in a very polarized society and time period. Prejudices are getting worse ironically thanks the more abundant information - or better, the manipulation of it - and all time growing "us vs them" mentality. On all kinds of issues, both groups see each other as threat against not only what they stand for, but also to their existence. This makes for a very tense environment where dialogue dies down and it's just conflict.
I think it's like you just said: people have started taking things further than just being accepted, and the people who aren't trans are starting to get frustrated. It's the same idea has black people being treated with basic respect. These people want to be treated like people. I think that most people would agree that you need to show others some basic human decency, but there's also needs to be a line where you say "Okay, this has gone beyond equal civil rights, this is entering the range of preferential treatment." I'm an ally too, but I don't want anyone else to have their rights compromised either.
I don't think transphobia is getting worse. On the contrary, the opposite is happening: more and more people are realising that transsexuals are human too, and there's no good in causing them needless suffering.
What makes you think transphobia is getting worse?
You´re question because you don´t want an answer from a person who is actually transphobic. Which is like me asking if there is a problem of white supremacy in the US police but I only want white people answering the question.
That´s your point of view. I feel it does a bit because excluding transophobic people from answering you don´t give him/her the chance of telling you their motives. Although I´d admit that it´s more likely they won´t give it to you, your question doesn´t sound to me like you´re interested in their motives but instead in some hypocries other people have about that.
True Transsexual’s don’t want to be in the lime light. They’re goal is to be “ Stealth “. They Never want to be “ Clocked “.
Nowadays, mostly insane individuals that aren’t true Transsexual’s , want to shove it in everyone’s face. So , they go to Ridiculous Parades and Protests.. They do it for reactions and only reactions. Not, for transitioning. They’re badly hurting the True Transsexuals!

It isn't.
All thing a re getting worse lately. But Sinophobia and Islamophobia are getting it far worse than a few Frankensteins who think they are something they are not.
It will never be widely accepted by society because society as a whole will never enable delusions and mental illness that defies biology and logic. It’s just reality.
there is no transphobia to begin with. people don't like that lifestyle, cause they're not trans. and the more you shove it in their face, the more rejection you'll face. deluding yourself into thinking it's a phobia only is a tool to free yourself of responsibility for your actions.
