Edit I’m just gonna delete this soon. I posted it and made most of my comments while angry and looking for blood. yea a lot of cringe stuff got said on that post but I don’t think my post is contributing anything to the sub other than anger, and possibly driving people away. Sorry to the people I snapped at, I hope yall have a good night🐕

The comments are full of people saying transphobic shit and op doubling down on his “making your trans partner feel dysphoric is fine” shit. He’ll that pic was a re-upload from one of the mods here. What the fuck!!! This is fucking 196 why are we out here defending blatant transphobia? People are in there calling trans people karens with a persecution complex, there’s tons of defense of treating trans men like shit, “allies” telling trans people they’re overreacting, all kinds of inexcusable shit. If this is how lemmy 196 is gonna be I hope this place crashes and burns

      The person in the screenshot was being asked if they’d date a trans man, they gave that response. Which is to say yes, but that they have a sexual preference for femininity which would make it difficult as most trans men are dysphoric about their feminity especially pre-op. He said it in not the best word choice but the sentiment is not transphobic. Big “he a little confused but he got the spirit” energy.

      OP is going to tell you a bunch of other shit. Looks like the post might’ve been removed but what they’re saying was happening in those comments did not happen. They just seem to be a very, very angry person.

      Person who made the reported comment said that in response to being asked if he’d date a trans guy, in a thread asking what straight guys are attracted to. Could have just been badly worded, but considering op’s reaction to being called out, the other transphobes in the thread, and op agreeing with them, I’m gonna say no

      Here’s a pic of one of the worse fuckers in those comments, I would’ve linked more in the post but idk how to link more than one. Op agreed with this take and said 6 out of 7 of his trans women friends were just unreasonably mad about their problems

        Thread was nuked, here’s my response

        The full comment, not just one cherry picked sentence

        I hate to say it, but of the 7 trans women I’ve known, 6 have been like this. Everyone is the enemy, giant chip on the shoulder.

        I mean, I get it. I grew up very poor, and for a long time any time I saw a rich person I wanted to deck them. Even if they did nothing wrong personally. Because my life was hell and they didn’t have to go through it, and they’re passively contributing to the system that made my life hell. So I hated them.

        So yeah, I think trans people are just people, reacting to a hateful and cruel society in the way that any person would.

        It is difficult to stay friends with someone like that. A lot of trauma. And collateral damage. I know, I lost friends over my issues.

        Strangely enough of the 4 trans men I’ve known, none have been like this. Maybe they just internalized it.
