It isn’t. Short women are women. Tall women are women. Large women are women. Disabled women are women. Lesbian women are women. Bisexual women are women. And yes, Trans women are women.

Someone pls make it stop. I'm so tired. 😩 And lol @ the fact that they made a post about "transwomen are women" on a sub called askgaybros.

That's what I was wondering. The OP has a male name too (gaelic prince) so why not "Trans men are men"? Why cry about trans women in a sub for people who according to the current laws of trans, don't have to be attracted to trans women yet? I mean... Yes, it's coming, soon it's gonna be:

Gay men like trans men and trans men are actually women but we aren't allowed to say that, and gay men like cis men and cis men have penis, so if gay men don't like trans women, that's transphobic uwu.

Ah, but you can bet that these people think it's ok for trans women to be in gay dating apps and in gay bars. They aren't very consistent in their demands.

Seriously that was the stupidest plotline in Pose. The main character, a trans-lady, decides "she's" going to go sit in a gay bar and make all the gay dudes miserable for no reason, and of course it was depicted like "she" is the hero and the gay guys are the big meanies for kicking "her" out. Like... Hello? Didn't you say you're a woman??? So what are you doing in a gay bar? Why would gay dudes want women in the gay bar?

They want to have their cake and eat it too. They want to be "women", but they know the only chance they have at a boyfriend is a man who likes dick, whether it be a gay/bi bro, or a straight weirdo with a fetish.

It makes no sense for the "transwomen are women" crowd, but I've heard of transwomen who say they are women on gay/bisexual apps, which tbh, if they like men it's best they go for men who are into them which would be a gay/bisexual men. People love to make this myth that NO gay man would be into a transwomen, and they'd rather be with a trans man.

Do people not know that transwomen have always been in gay bars, hanging with gay men, looking for gay/bisexual guys? When i used to go to gay clubs with my friend, i'd always see transwomen there. Gay men don't even kick ACTUAL women out of clubs even though they may not want them there all the time. That makes zero sense.

It's more TRA's pushing that they are women, so gay men have no use for them like they feel gay men have no use for women, when it's not true at ALL. There was a youtube whose boyfriend only dated men before they got with a trans girl, they were claiming he was "Straight" and i'm like, "no, he obviously likes dick havers, you have a dick, he's gay/bisexual but he's just dating a feminine dude now"

This was once true but I don't see it anymore. Back in the day TW would hang out in gay bars because they lived most of their lives as gay men and that's where all their friends were, plus they were the only bars they could go to and not be ridiculed. These days if anyone said something mean to a trans person there'd be a pinknews article about it, the offender would be harrassed online and probably fired.

Haha you're right, I would at least see some drag queens there (or maybe I just assumed they were drag queens I guess.)

Here's the scene. It's way more cringier than I remembered.

"I'm sorry, we're not in drag, we're women" "Even better, we don't like women in here, we're a gay bar"

Wow, it's just like you said in response to me above. So you have to respect them as women... But you're also meant to accept them in a space where women aren't allowed? So, which one is it? Would they like it better if the waiter hd said "sorry, didn't notice you were a guy, now you're welcome here"?

And ugh the part about racism. They really needed to do that, uh? They always tie their issues with some other social issues too. So if someone points out how problematic the scene is, they can say "oh, so you think it's ok to segregate black people?".

It's the same with ftms, they have always been in lesbian clubs or bars and there's nothing wrong with that. They lived a significant portion of their lives as lesbians, it's easy to relate with them

    WTF!!!!! I actually cannot believe that is serious!!!

    Oh my god. It reads like a parody. I am amazed. The only tip-off I had that it is actually serious, besides you mentioning it, was the eeeeevil bar manager casually being like "This bar is only for white people btw" like seriously? How do trans people think the world works???

    Thanks for sharing. Wow.

    It's amazing isn't it? Does anyone else feel like they're going crazy after all this gas lighting?

    "If a duck goes quack, that means trans women are real women"

    like wtf that's not connected at all. You're just saying words with no affiliation with each other. These people just regurgitate talking points over and over as if that means something.

    They use trans women because they proclaim them as the number one oppressed group, therefore any non supportive statement about them is the height of all bigotry. Then they can start weaponising alleged suicide rates and they continue there crusade from there.

    Whenever I see this I love to reply

    "Sea horses are horses." And watch them freak out. Honestly right now I want to go start a satire sub called "Sea Horse Exclusionary Radical Horses." But the quantity of time it would take is just uhhhh.

    I wish they'd realise that banning these subs will only earn them a bit more time to bury their head in the sand. But the cost of deplatforming them will only build resentment that will come back to bite.

    They’re also doing “transmen are men pass it on” in lesbian subs and the comments are refreshingly passive aggressive about it though I guess that’s as outspoken as the real lesbians and bisexual handmaidens will get before shutting up altogether

    Dont worry the "transmen are men" thing is bigger in lesbian spaces on twitter than reddit lol:

    Omg you described it perfectly. I loved how they were arguing about the story of a lesbian that just got married to a transman. They said that the lesbian was clearly invalidating his identity and needs to start calling herself bi or pan cuz she is hurting his feelings.

    Personally, I think its very emasculating to assume that a transman needs to be protected from the his own wife 😂

    It's not going to stop until r/askgaybros is either banned or turned into a trans sub

    The reddit user who posted "Trans men are men! Pass it on!" on Gaybros today complained on another sub that he was permanently banned, so at least someone there has decided to curb that particular trend.

    since some people didn't agree with initial postsabout trans men = men, people have been complaining about how reansphobic the sub has become. This attracts more trans trying to trigger it, or just spam it.
