DiscussionDunno if this question belongs here, but does anyone else wish they were as 'oppressed' as trans people are?

I'm sorry, but why are they acting like their community is the most hated thing in the universe when in reality they're probably one of the most pandered to groups ever?

Why do they keep saying that they can't live their life correctly anywhere when transitioning is legal in more states than being homosexual?

Why do they keep saying that their group are always forgotten about when they usually have priority over anything else in the LGBTQ+ community?

Sorry if this post doesn't make any sense, but these people aren't as oppressed as they're trying to lead on. I understand that discrimination within their group still exists, but it's nowhere near to the level of which they're describing (and let's be honest, most things they consider 'discriminatory' aren't really such at all, the media will just listen to whatever they say 'cause if they disagree they'll get pitchforked).

I'm sorry, but people treading eggshells to appease your oversensitive mindsets aren't really 'oppressive'.

I had the privilege of being a part of the trendy oppressed group for a hot minute (oPpReSsEd MuSlYm WoMyN oF cOlOr) and I couldn't even get a word in edgewise because Social Justice Warriors kept screeching over me. Even when I tried to explain something as basic and as factual as how the part in the Koran about women covering up can be interpreted in several different ways (my interpretation would be 'cover up your genitals and bosoms on don't wear shoes that go click-clack' and that head to toe coverings for both men and women were popular in Arabia even before the Koran because it's fucking HOT there and they need SUN PROTECTION) these donkeys who aren't even Muslim told me I was ignorant about my own religion and disrespectful of my own culture and 'you don't speak for all Muslim Women' (but they do, apparently.)

Trans people get to advocate for themselves and the SJW's just shut up and listen and signal boost, so that makes me very jealous, yes.

(Except of course for the transmeds/truscum/dysphoria believers, they're fucked.)

100% agree with you. The thing is many TRAs have mental health issues and are really self absorbed.

They literally choose to be "oppressed." If being transgender is so bad surely most of them wouldn't "identify" as it, right? And much less announce themselves as trans every five minutes on social media.

It's fucking hilarious how they think being trans is so "oppressed" yet cant go any length of time without reminding people they're trans, meanwhile I hide that I'm homosexual because if I don't I would be verbally and sexually harassed and it would be terrible for my mental health.

Pretty much everything about me is more "oppressed" than trans and I don't whine like they do. I've got more shit for being blonde than a trans person, because there's no special "blonde protection laws" or people rushing to scream "BLONDE PEOPLE ARE PEOPLE!" at my defense every time someone is mean

I'm not LGB but I look quite GNC. If trans people are so opressed and on every corner they come across, someone waits to kill them just for being trans then how come I was never mistaken for a trans man and attempted at murdering me? I've never seen hate stares at me.

It is definitely overstated. There is definitely unjustified hatred of them out there but when trans people who live in the most accepting cities and countries say things like "There's a huge change I'll get l i t e r a l l y murdered whenever I leave my house" it gets a bit grating.

All I want at the end of the day is a fair shot.

I don’t suppose I’m enough of an asshole to wish I could pretend to be super oppressed and not have any social rules apply. (By that I mean being a huge dickhead or an actual criminal with zero social consequence.) But, I am indignant that trans people get to do this.

No I wouldn't want to be an online troll with a personality disorder who harasses and bullies people online, thanks.

They are so opressed that it's legal to transition in way more countries than marry the same sex.

its a weird duality. like black people face racism from many people in many instances, and overall their community is way more poor. so then they get AA and also get "power" in certain circles to say "I'm a black person so you have to listen to me"

trans people have totally hard time finding dating partners, etc. and for the longest time they were treated like complete freaks. So now certain circles give them power.
