Why are people some so against trans people?

Question

I'm not trans but I don't seem to have an interest to run to government to regulate them. I dont go to calling them ill or an abomination or such things. I don't get what people get like writing no such thing as trans. Trans people never hurt me.

FunkyMonkee · Accepted Answer

Seems to me, it's a matter of homophobia. For some reason, stupid people raise their kids to be stupid, also and to believe that being gay is a bad thing and some kind of mental illness. Also that anybody that wants to get a sex change (ESPECIALLY GUYS!!) HAS to be gay!! That couldn't be farther from the truth! I have several trans friends and one of them had a boyfriend BEFORE she transitioned all the way BUT, as soon as she went full female, she never heard from boyfriend again!! That's because gay guys are ONLY interested in other GUYS or even "chicks with dicks", a term I could never understand because they are NOT girls that have dicks, they are guys that have tits!!
Trans people are NOT gay and they are NOT interested in getting a sex change JUST so they can get into the women's bathrooms and locker rooms and get cheap thrills by seeing real women naked! True, there ARE SOME fringe loonies that only CLAIM they're female and should, therefore, have access to the women's heads and locker rooms and THOSE are the ones you are free to lambast, ridicule and have arrested! ESPECIALLY if the ONLY reason for this claim IS to get to see naked women!! THOSE are the ones fucking it all up for real trans women!!
In short, there's NO FUCKING WAY IN HELL that a man is gonna go through all he has to go through to get a sex change JUST so he can see naked girls in the bathroom and, even if he did, he no longer has a dick so, what's he gonna do, WISH that he still had a dick so he could beat off or fuck her?
As for this homophobia. From what I've seen, no trans woman is gonna "trick" a guy into having a relationship with her! Before it ever gets serious, they always tell! They don't want a broken heart any more than you do! And, even if you both DO go all the way, you're STILL fucking someone who has a vagina and is now female so, you CAN'T be gay for fucking a woman, even if she DID used to have a dick! What if she was born a hermaphrodite and decided to get an operation to remove her dick? Would you STILL think that fucking her would make you a fag?

I don't think it's like that as a whole. There are two things I am firmly against.
1. Giving trans people with dicks rights that only girls should have, these rules exist for a reason to provide safe spaces for the girls. Invading them just because you claim to be female is not ok.
2. Indoctrination and propaganda trying to transition children even though they would have much better lives if they didn't. Peoples lives are getting ruined and it's usually lives of people who are vulnerable such as people with autism. This has to end, trans people aren't happier in the long run unless there was genuine gender dysphoria.

But I don't have anything against those who did transition, I do feel more uncomfortable around them due to the social pressure however. But thats because I don't like having to walk on eggshells with the whole pronoun thing. And of course I am not attracted to them as partners. But none of those things translate to a dislike for trans people themselves, I merely dislike people causing victims by trying to transition people who should not be transitioned.

Because a lot of people unfortunately can’t see past their own noses and only care/see the problem when it’s them or someone they care about who is facing the issue head on. I saw this a lot in high school, especially with race, homophobia, transphobia, and antisemitism. A lot of people claimed that those things were not problems at my school just because they as a white, straight, cisgender, non-jewish person (that was usually the type of person who would say that these problems didn’t exist at my school) couldn’t see these things that were happening or didn’t consider these things to be bad until someone/several people told them off. However, they were huge problems. I got called a Jap just because I’m half Japanese, my friend who is black got called the n word all the time, people put up sw*sticas all over the school, and a lot of people bullied this one girl because she’s transgender and won homecoming Queen (jokes on them though cause now she’s internet famous). All this and more happened at my high school and yet there were still some people who got angry/upset whenever these things were talked about and tried to deny it until someone who has had experience with these problems told them off and explained that they’re a part of the problem for denying it. Hell, I’ve even told off a bunch of kids from my high school and I was considered one of the shy kids.

Trans women are born male. A lot of people don’t have a problem with people wearing clothes or acting like the opposite gender they were born as but many people start to think trans women sound delusional when they claim things like they are just as much of a woman as a person who was actually born female.

I use Quora. Many people dislike the word “cis” but they keep on using it when it has been said so many times please don’t call me that.

Trans people would likely be much more accepted or tolerated in society if they said something like “Trans women are male who like to live their life like a woman” instead of saying things like “Trans women are women.”

Women are female. You have to be born a female to be a female. Surgery can’t make a person female or male.
A female is defined as somebody who has ova gametes. I would also put women who have had a hysterectomy in the female category because they at least at one point of their life had ovaries inside them. My mother has gone through menopause but still has her ovaries. Since she has female organs she is female.

OlderAndWiser · Answer

Most people resent being told that we must treat those people as if they are normal, and we must call the guy "her" or "she" even though it's a guy. Do whatever you want with your genitals behind closed doors and IDGAF, but tell me what I must think or how I must speak and I will get in your face about it.

Is that difficult to understand? And we didn't even talk about boys going into girls' restrooms or competing in sports.

BCRanger10 · Answer

Because transgenderism is a mental disorder. A man who thinks he's a woman has never in fact been a woman and therefore cannot know that he is a woman, likewise with a woman who thinks she's a man. All they have is either feelings or social conditioning and formation. We cannot and should not confirm someone in this.

From a religious standpoint, God made us as either male or female. Our respective masculinity and femininity are wonderful gifts and should be formed in accordance with their nature. Plus, people who claim to be gay will say that "God doesn't make mistakes". Well, transgenderism implies the exact opposite, that God made a mistake in making a man what he objectively is and a woman what she objectively is. So which is it?

Lastly, it's quite obviously becoming a disturbing social contagion. Additionally, look at what it's doing to sports. It's snatching opportunities away from people (mostly women) who have worked for them and giving them to people like Will Thomas (I'm calling HIM by HIS actual name) in the name of images. It's sick and it's wrong.

NamerOfStars · Answer

Because they prove how much dishonesty there is around sociopolitical rhetoric. Nearly everyone pays lip service to the idea of egalitarianism, but almost nobody actually wants it. This isn't usually malicious; instinct explicitly tells you to protect (and thus, restrict) your women, and exploit your men to do so. Defying that takes actual will, which few people are used to using.

The Feminist narrative says that to be a woman is to be a victim, and so women are deserving of special privileges, because their lives are so much harder. The transsexual says "Actually, it's not that simple", and so the Feminist must silence them. The traditionalist narrative says that to be a woman is to be a mother, and so women are deserving of special privileges, because they're so much more important. The transsexual says "Actually, it's not that simple", and so the traditionalist must silence them. The moderate, still a large portion of humanity, says "Men and women should have the same rights and responsibilities, as they've always had", but then the transsexual comes along and says "Actually, that's not-" and down falls the wrath of the moderate, who doesn't like to be proven a liar.

The egalitarian just looks on, sighs, and says "I told you so".

GuyAnswersGirls123 · Answer

I really think people should just look at what we do here in Japan and other parts of Asia. We don't have this type of conflict with our trans community here.

However, Japan is practical. We do not say "men can get pregnant" or that "women can impregnate men" or any such nonsense. Men are men and transmen are transmen and women are women and transwomen are transwomen here. Transmen aren't men and transwomen aren't women. They're a different category.

Transitional hormone treatment and surgery is only available here for people 18 years of age or older. We distinguish spaces based on sex, not gender identity.

And Japanese trans people take great time and care to present themselves according to their gender identity. It isn't someone with linebacker traps and a full-grown beard insisting they be called "she". I doubt those are common in places like the US but they exist, and I really think they do the trans community a disservice by failing to even attempt to pass in any way I can't do myself by just putting on my wife's dress one day.

DextroShade · Answer

There are many reasons: You can't actually change your gender/sex, and the procedures that attempt to do so are gruesome, disgusting, and ineffective. They have been increasingly pushing these procedures on children resulting in many being castrated and mutilated for the rest of their lives. They are invading women's spaces from bathrooms to sports to prisons. Biological men competing in women's sports is inherently unfair and is cheating. In prisons they are incarcerating intact male rapists with women, resulting in more rapes and female inmates getting pregnant. They demand that all must be language be altered to accommodate them resulting in infuriatingly stupid terms like "chest feeding", "people who menstruate", and "bonus hole" as well as the ridiculous neopronouns like xe/xir/xim. They are even turning on the gays with the most prevalent example being lesbians getting harassed and called bigots because they won't suck trans dick. They are also the type of scum who use emotional blackmail by threatening to kill themselves if we don't give into their demands or saying your kids will kill themselves if they don't get puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones, and surgeries.

blueonblack22 · Answer

Most people could care less what a grown adult chooses to do with their body.

But this is where it gets sick and deranged:

Biological men who identify as “women” going to not female bathrooms, locker rooms and competing against real women in sports.
Giving puberty blockers and hormones to children or worse performing surgeries on them.
Forcing people to agree and believe that a trans woman is a real woman. This includes pronoun changes. Gender is not socially created. Bullshit bullshit BULLSHIT! It’s determined by your very chromosomes.

PeachyPie93 · Answer

I don't like any one in the LGBTQ group just because how entitled they act. Like be gay and do what you want but stop trying to force your crap down everyone's throat. Being the centre of attention being in every show, movie, advertisement. Like no one cares be whatever the fuck you are but heterosexual is the original and the "right way" to be according to biology. So stop trying to make everything aimed at yourselves when you are the minority its absolutely annoying.

Smashingdoozy · Answer

Stigmas mostly. I was never against it but when I didn't understand it I thought it was silly and eye rolled at the idea of it. Then I learned more about it, started dating a trans guy, learned A LOT about the struggles, sat in on appointments, witnessed the pain he went through on a daily basis, watched the way he improved and got happier over the years being his true self.
Now studying psychology I understand it more from a different perspective and am constantly trying to learn more things about how I can help, how we as a society can help trans people feel safe and be themselves.

David94358 · Answer

Few reasons,

1) the movement is targeting children

2) the movement is allowing biological men into women only safe spaces

3) the movement is allowing biological men to complete against women in sports

4) the demand that people must take part in the completely idiotic pronouns, and the attempt to redefine simple terms like man and women

5) the gender ideology was started by a pedophile sexologist John Money who did incestual sexual experiments with sibling children, (which ironically proved his hypothesis that gender was a social construct was false)

It's real simple it's a free country so if you want a sex change then cool, as long as you are an adult then go for it.. you want to legally change your "gender" to allow you into the women's room? Sure as long as you get the dick removed then fine, you want to compete in sports? If you where born a man.. you will always have to complete against men.. simple

JacobJordan · Answer

If an adult wants to be trans I don't care provided 1 they keep it to themselves and 2 they stay the hell away from my kids and wife. The issue is and the issue I specifically have is they are targeting children and hiding it from parents. They talk about to everyone all the fuckin time. Do you see straight men and women talking about how straight they are all the time? Demanding people respect us for being straight? Demanding they call us certain things?

It truly is that simple. If you want to be trans be trans just keep it to your damn self and don't go near other peoples children.

Inflation in the US is at 3.1%, and it's pretty much the best economy in the world right now. Even Trump's economic advisor says so:

""One thing President Biden said that was true," Stephen Moore said. "It is true that the United States today have the strongest economy. There's no question about it if you look at what's happening in Europe today, Germany, France, Japan and China they are not growing...""

Siri137 · Answer

I don't hate them, but they  are  either outright liars who deliberately misrepresent who they are in order to gain a particular advantage or goal, OR they're utterly delusional and should seriously consider psychiatric help.

pergamon300 · Answer

If they kept to themselves it'd be one thing. But they don't.

They actively attempt to brainwash kids by normalizing it, and even attempt to have kids join their cult. They target pre-schools, schools, kids libraries etc. There's nothing normal about wanting to chop your penis off. If a man felt he was a monkey in a man's body, we'd say he's got mental issues. It's no different with transexuals.

SotiCoto · Answer

There tend to be a huge swathe of different opinions represented for most topics. Think of just about anything and someone probably has some pretty extreme opinions on it. And those extreme opinions tend to be publicised more because they're a novelty.
That topic in particular isn't all that special in that regard. Some people are pro-transgender and some are strongly anti-transgender, but odds are the vast majority of people just don't give a sh! t and would rather just go about their lives without having to think about things that don't directly concern them.

PBandJ_Nerd · Answer

I'm not sure either. Even when I was younger and it was coming up as a more common thing, I never once hated them because well, you can't hate a group of people you don't know about. In the end they're humans just like everyone else-there's good and bad.

Soteris · Answer

Mostly because they are an easy group to target. Politicians and people who wants to gain authority over a group of people generally do so by uniting against another group. "We vs Them" mentality. Trans people are just the newest target group of these people to hate. Historically it has been other groups, like Jews or Muslims or Blacks or whatever.

It is all just manufactured hate to more strongly unite their own group.

Dongie · Answer

I feel it's the forcing of, demanding interaction with, their own fantasy. People just want to conduct their lives without input of made up words and terms injected into everyday life. Especially when it comes from physiological illnesses propt up through societal peer pressure. It's very rude and selfish behavior.

jshm2 · Answer

They aren't. They just don't see a reason for the world to be altered to suit such a small crazy minority because of what they "feel".

If I was to self identify as an apache attack helicopter and expect people to clear the street for me as a result. You'd be outraged.

But a bloke self identifies as a girl and girls are supposed to "take it" he can oogle and bitch at them and you're a "transphobe" for denying him!

genericname85 · Answer

It's not that most people are against trans people themself. I think most people are fed up with transsexuals being shoved into their face by media, when it's really a tiny minority group. If they weren't forced into the public discussion so much, nobody would give a shit.

Anonymous · Answer

Social media seems to have trained people to become overly emotional. Before it was smaller scale haters such as the triple K who riled each other up over evening brew. Now you get influenced in your own phone 24/7. And historically. Groups of inebriated humans like to maim and kill what makes them feel even the slightest bit threatened.

Anonymous · Answer

So far with my opinion on trans, I don’t feel comfortable around them. You have modified your body into a Barbie doll toy when you are born male. But I do treat them with respect as they treat me with it back. They are still human beings, and we just have to live with it sadly.

People should just mind their own business. As a transwoman, I never had any thoughts going into a women restroom and sexuality assault a woman. I look more like a woman than a man as well.

I also have no problems with people calling me a man. I found a woman who loves me, and we are married. I have a good paying career and thinking about having kids together. Not planning to force trans on my future kids

Because they try to control and dictate the way others think and talk. A very small percentage of people actually take issue with being trans in itself, I don’t give a shit what anyone does with their own body and their own life.
