  • I’m trans too and I’m gonna chime in and add to the chorus that you’re definitely being transphobic. Just reading the exchange between you and Diva and I am coming to the conclusion that it is transphobic to decide someone is or isn’t trans. You don’t get to decide who is or isn’t trans. It’s despicable behavior and deeply offensive considering how so many trans people constantly have to prove their existence to transphobes online and irl. You should be ashamed of yourself. You’re part of the problem.

    Nice try, but this is not suicide. The point of the cartoon is irony. The Klansman is a symbol of racial hatred who historically used lynching as a tool of terror. He is being killed by his own symbol, the Confederate flag. It’s a commentary on how hate consumes itself. You’re purposely interpreting this as a commentary on suicide. This is like seeing a war movie where a soldier is shot and claiming it’s offensive to people who lost a loved one to a school shooting. The method of death is the same, but the context is entirely different.

    Shut the fuck up now.







  • Can we just not do threads like this? It literally just a thread for cis people to confidently declare how much they find trans people yucky and how they are completely justified in finding us repulsive. Nothing good comes from these discussions.

    People say they have a genital preference, yet trans people have a range of different genitalia, pre-op, intersex, or post operative. People say they want kids, yet some trans people can still have kids pregnancy, banked eggs or sperm, adoption, surrogacy, etc.

    For every “requirement” cis people have for trans people there is a trans person that exists that meets those requirements and then cis people move the goalposts to justify their bigotry.

    Cis people don’t respond.






  • That’s Theo and his rednote videos are very insightful. There probably could be better education surrounding trans people done in China to help reduce the stigma, but that is the case in nearly every country. I think as people continue to be open and vulnerable about what it means to be transgender and people become more exposed to transgender people that social stigma will change. It is part of why I live openly and honestly as a trans person. Every generation of queer folk has paved the way for the rest of us.
