"femme-presenting"

Yeah, no, my dude. Even that small, partly-censored user pic in the screenshot screams "male". No way anyone had to check any "gender markers" on your passport to clock you.

Yup, no one needs to check his passport since this is what the guy actually looks like

Reminder that the term "presenting" is originally used to refer to animals who display their sexual organs to show they're ready to mate. I feel like puking whenever one of these gross sweaty dudes in lipstick uses the term "femme-presenting". Yeeep, definitely a fetish.

People really need to understand that you can't and shouldn't be accepted into literally every space, regardless of what gender identity or sexual orientation you have. As a gay guy i know I wouldn't be accepted in a lesbian bar/club, literally everyone with more than one brain cell would realize that and not have a fucking problem with it.

[–]marmorsymphata 27 insightful - 1 fun27 insightful - 0 fun28 insightful - 1 fun -  (2 children)

To me, it ties into ableism. They don't want to be called disabled or different, so they are seeking to redefine gender itself and butt in on exclusive spaces so that they don't have to acknowledge it. They are even trying to get dysphoria removed from the DSM.

I have medical problems with my legs. If I did want to become an athlete, I would have to accept that I would never be able to and that I couldn't expect the major leagues to reformat sports to include me. Transgender women, by contrast, will NOT accept that they have biological differences that preclude them from fair sport. Instead of taking their lumps and fitting in with the "Disabled" label with people like me, they have fits.

[–]Nona_Biba 26 insightful - 1 fun26 insightful - 0 fun27 insightful - 1 fun -  (1 child)

Instead of taking their lumps

Not to highjack your comment, but this is something I've thought too, but not necessarily exclusive to sports or related to disabilities. I wouldn't give two shits about trans people if they realized that being trans was their cross to bear. I wouldn't care about trans women if they stayed in male specific spaces and didn't try to claim they were actually "women" or "female." If they accepted the possible stares or jeers when they went in the mens room was something they would just have to live with and get over if they wanted to transition, they would be fine. Instead they want to live their fetish AND put women in more danger by doing so. Which obviously earns them a lot more contempt and pushback than if they were going about things the other way.

Life's not fair and life sucks for a lot of people for a lot of reasons. Trans people are making it even harder for us to accept them by INSISTING that the whole of society drastically re-arrange and redefine itself so they don't have to bear the slightest hit to their ego/ emotions, while they get EVERYTHING THEY WANT as well! Fuck off with that!

Like, I'm a fucking fatass covered in stretch marks. If I had the gnawing desire to wear a bikini to the beach I would HAVE to accept the fact that some people would laugh at me or think my body is disgusting, and I would HAVE to learn to let it roll off my back and ignore those people if I still insisted on wearing the bikini. It would be a lot easier and more emotionally mature than yelling "fatphobia!" and fighting every single person who snickered behind my back. But most trans people aren't really willing to live with the drawbacks of "being their authentic selves." They're the type who would pick a fight with every damn person on the beach to prove a point, and then insist they were justified. The worst ones can't even accept the fact that some people won't want to date/ have sex with them after transition!

You're so on point! Well put. Sometimes I feel like the trans rights movement is looking to restrict everyone who is not trans. Since they're not actually lacking any civic rights in the Western world.

I'm a straight dude and I've been let into Lesbian clubs with friends of mine that are Lesbians. I wasn't there to do anything but get rotten drunk ( and a little bit alot high) and they were cool with that. It's these fucken weirdo's that go there to flaunt themselves that are a problem.

[–]lmaonope333 31 insightful - 1 fun31 insightful - 0 fun32 insightful - 1 fun -  (2 children)

as a lesbian, if I was in a bar and saw a man there, it would ruin the mood. even if he was just drinking with his friends and not hitting on anyone. the vast majority of females have learned to police themselves around all men. there are plenty of straight bars that you could go to, but lesbian bars are very rare and you should respect those spaces

It’s apparently a foreign idea that people can belong to affinity/identity groups and form groups based off of these characteristics. A guy i was arguing with said trans exclusive spaces were good but gay ones were bad because something about being a minority. When i pointed out that majority groups (religious, professional, etc.) make exclusive groups for themselves and their interests, he didnt like it.

    Oh I think that’s the entitled white American male married to a Japanese woman who decided to transition, and now demands one of the very few women’s only bar to be inclusive of him. Meanwhile, gay people in Japan still can’t get married.

    It irks me to see grown ass people who still haven't learned that not every group or place will be open for them. This is something you're supposed to learn during your teenage years and make peace with it. No, you can't be a real girl. No, you can't have everything. Ffs, nobody can.

    It was horrifying watching Ellen Page (a patron of the bar) siding with that narcissistic AGP and joining the mob attacking the bar on social media until the owner reversed the policy. She could have remained silent since this was barely even news in the first place, but she chose to harass a lesbian-owned business for catering to lesbians.

    All those woke celebs/influencers will find out the hard way that no amount of kowtowing is ever enough for transactivists. These people want nothing short of complete and total obedience.

    Wonder when trans women will begin demanding access to female-only train carts in India and Japan? Big difference between those countries and the West is that those countries are willing to put female safety above acquiescing to all the demands of the TRAs.

    I remember gay bars in Tokyo ( besides the big ones) being all very niche. Like bars were for very specific types of men. One is no foreigners, go here for skinny guys, go here for hairy, go here for chubby. So its pretty standard Tokyo to be rejected from a bar for you not being the specific clientele they want.
