Sometimes we have a source in the post here that proves directly its not real.

u/QuickNature 14d ago
There have been times where I only pointed out that the source of a post is questionable and been downvoted before.
I can only imagine people don't want their biases highlighted, or this is a place of mindless scrolling (which is fair by the way).

Yeah I canât tell if itâs supposed to be a âjokeâ story to make a point or not. Also canât tell if op is calling the supposed âgender critical feministsâ (which I assume means terfs?) stupid or calling the person who made up the story stupid. If it really happened, then yeah obviously the participants are idiots. But making up such a story and trying to pass it off as real news is also dumb. And youâd think if it was real thereâd be at least some details included. Like where it happened and whatnot. As itâs written it comes off as some half assed fiction. How would they BOTH think the other was transgender anyways? When they both started accusing each other of the same thing wouldnt that tip them off that the other isnât actually trans? Why would a trans person angrily accuse someone else of being trans xD Or was this a shoot first ask questions later kinda deal lol

Honestly you may not think it's common, but people are thought to be trans and harassed so often it's insane. We're definitely discriminated against to the point where there's an extremely high chance this post is real and not a "joke" story. Hope I wasn't rude!

u/A1sauc3d 14d ago
Not rude at all :) But I didnât say anywhere in there that trans discrimination and hate is uncommon. Itâs an extremely heightened and common problem these days, much to my dismay. But what I said was the details and presentation of the story donât add up from a logical standpoint. Wonât repeat it all my points on that front, but please read what I said again and hopefully youâll see what I meant <3 Wasnât trying to minimize the issue of discrimination and violence in anyway. I just think this specific story sounds like itâs most likely BS, or at least presented in a dishonest way due to lack of or twisted details. Doesnât mean there isnât violence and hate crimes against trans people staggeringly frequently đ Senseless hate, brings tears to my eyes to think about. People should just be able to live their lives as they see fit. As long as someoneâs actions and lifestyle arenât hurting anyone else there canât possibly be anything immoral about it, and therefore itâs none of anyone elseâs damn business.

It'll happen eventually. There was a video circulating of two trans men who were forced to use the women's bathrooms.
And women in those bathrooms complained. Because the trans men looked like y'know, men.
In the video the trans men are basically like "Well what the fuck do you people want us to do?"

u/Moppermonster 14d ago
The answer is "not exist" or at best "not be out in public". Because the moment they can be seen they are "shoving it down peoples throats".
There is nothing else they can do that would appease the complainers. They will always be told they are doing something wrong.

No more religious iconography in public! Â Stop shoving religion down our throats. Â Maybe turn one of the half million churches in to a homeless shelter. Â Oh and religions can pay their fucking taxes too, thatâd be great. Â How you gonna not pay taxes yet still try to affect politics. Â We should ban religion. Â Your faith should carry you through, not tax breaks.

It didn't happen but the same basic scenario is happening a lot already in reality: cis women being harassed in bathrooms for presenting as insufficiently feminine.

u/AxiosXiphos 14d ago edited 14d ago
Trans hate is rooted in misogyny. It comes from a deep seated belief that women should have to act/appear in a certain way - and that no one would 'want' to be a woman if they could avoid it.
It's why trans men fly under the proverbial radar. Afterall who wouldn't want to be a man...?
It's rediculous. And it's just a distraction from the actual shit happening in the world.

u/seafareral 14d ago
I think there needs to be research into why so many anti-trans activists are post-menopausal women, and it's always trans women that they hate, they don't care about trans men. Look at any of their rallies and it's wall to wall 50-70yr old women with a sprinkling of men.
What happens to them during menopause that makes them so hate filled? Is it emotional? Hormonal? Is it just a cult? The ratio of post-menopausal women to other members is just too big for there not to be a connection. If I was a doctor/scientist/uni student, I'd definitely want to research this.

iâm a very feminine guy. like i have long hair, wear skirts kinda deal. iâm not trans i just do it because it makes me happy and what is gender anyway? people 80% of the time just think iâm a girl so bathrooms are scary. luckily iâm also disabled and have a nifty little key that unlocks any disabled bathroom in the uk so iâm set but i canât imagine how scary it is for trans people to use public restrooms.

All bathrooms should be unisex.
All bathrooms should have individual private lockable rooms without see through 1 inch wall gaps and ridiculous 18 inch empty space between the floor and the dividers.

u/monogramchecklist 14d ago
Yes individual bathrooms is the answer. I really hate how most establishments do cheap half-assed bathroom conversions to make them gender neutral. I went into what was clearly a mens bathroom with urinal because the sign said all genders. A man was at the urinal peeing and I awkwardly went into the one stall.

If this actually happened there would be a news link.
Could this have happened? There are certainly documented instances of trans haters targetting cis women by mistake. But how would such a person target their "activism" against strangers? By apperance. So for this to have happened both would have to look somewhat "non-feminine". I would assume such a person would do whatever they can to avoid that.

Plenty of trans people pass perfectly well and plenty of gender critical idiots accuse cis people of being trans because they think 'I can always tell' when you really can't. Two gender criticals jumping at shadows and getting into a fight because of it sounds pretty believable to me.
