Is the word "Trans" Transphobic?

[Tiffanytrans]

If trans women = women.

Trans Men = Men.

Why is calling them something other than what they want to be not the standard?

Yes. Because It's "othering" them.

No. And ill keep calling them trans because im phobic. Because they are NOT the same.

There's no such thing as "transophobia". "Phobia" means irrational fear or aversion towards something, meaning a person cannot rationally explain why he's scared of or averse to something.

There's no aversion or fear in refusing to alter one's own sense of reality to fit someone else's delusion. If I'd declare myself Napoleon or Julius Caesar, and another person would refuse to acknowledge me as such, then he's not "napoleonophobic" or "caesarophobic", as he can rationalize this refusal: I am not a person that I claim I am. If I'd declare that I'm a dinosaur and another person would refuse to acknowledge me as one, he's not "dinosaurophobic".

The same goes for those who suffer from so-called "gender dysphoria". Just because a person *thinks* he/she belongs to another sex, it doesn't mean I have some sorts of irrational fear or aversion; I don't want to alter my own sense of reality to fit that person's delusion. In a same way, I won't pretend I agree that a fridge is talking because a schizophrenic claims it does, as I know a fridge is incapable of talking.

Because deep down your friends know you are mentally ill and you're part of a cult where you're lopping off body parts and pretending to be something your not. They don't want to say it to your face, because they want to bring you back from the void. Thy know you're really a man with psychological issues, but they don't want to be blunt with you and tell you to snap the fuck out of it man. So they go with some imaginary fantasy word, because they know you're fucking crazy.

Can we just stop the crazy train? You are never going to find the joy you are desperate for if you keep going down this road. The four pillars of happiness are work, family, community, and faith. The oppression olympics are not a part of any of these. Trying to find new ways everyone apparently hates you doesn't end well. If someone actually hates you; the best thing is to either ignore them or shower them with love. Obsessively coming up with new ways in which they are hurting your feelings when three weeks ago you were demanding they do the very same thing in order to not hurt your feelings is unhealthy for you and society. At the end of the day the only person you can make love you is yourself. So work on loving yourself especially your flaws. And then you will probably start to find people who like you too.

Trans women are not real women, a real woman can give birth. I don't want to date a trans.

[DarkLegacy]

Neither would i

Yes it is transgenderphobic (the whole world not abbreviated) because it stole the term trans from car transmissions because transmissions are always a pain to deal with if it stops working in your car and they associated it with trouble so people would automatically be transgenderphobic when they hear the word “trans” because they think about how badly the transmission was on their last car. It’s word association.

[Dargil]

Trans associated with anything regarding gender or sex is dysphoric and mentally ill.

[DarkLegacy]

lol i did answer option two but i am not transphobic for it. They are trans.

[DarkLegacy]

By the way you call yourself trans in your username

because they're gay guys dressing like women and acting attention seeking. straight guys and most gay men don't go around broadcasting they're straight or gay the ones that do are looking for attention and immature

[Pohjolan]

A group of transwomen and men would be unable to colonise a planet while a group of transwomen and women potentially could.

[Sabretooth]

no. and honestly, by not embracing the fact that you're different and unique... you're only hurting yourselves.

[gorydetails]

Trans women are men. Trans men are women.

[OddBeMe]

Nah trannies are easy going.
