I'm no raging trans activist. I just want to live my life as a woman. I'm not here to cause any shit.👏I 👏 just 👏 want 👏 to 👏 live

If he truly meant that, he would just leave lesbians alone and let us have our own dating apps/spaces.

Here’s what I don’t get: being mad that a specific subset of the population doesn’t want to date you and relentlessly pursuing that subset. Dude, just go after people who might possibly want you and stop wasting your time along with everyone else’s.

I can't relate to the mentality either. Even if it was "bigotry", so what? If I was head over heels for a woman who didn't want to date me because she sees me as less than human, I wouldn't beg her for a chance. I would be concerned with how I fell for someone like that in the first place.

Their mentality is one of entitlement and male socialization, especially in a heterosexual context. They view women as coveted objects, prizes to earn. They're angry because they think they've been denied the fair shot they feel entitled to. It's the incel/nice guy "why won't these uppity bitches give me a chance" mentality.

One time I asked out a woman I’d been crushing on for a while and her response was, “Oh, no. Sorry. I don’t like gingers.” My response was, “Oh, okay.” Then I moved on with my life and, a few weeks later, asked a woman who was into redheads out to dinner. (She said yes and we ended up dating for a while.) I didn’t whine about it online, demand the first woman pretend to like my hair, or dye my hair blonde and claim she had no reason to say no.

A decade later and I still feel like that is the sane response everyone should have upon facing rejection.

You mean you didn't blast her all over social media on how she's a gingerphobic bigot? Wow

Um, excuse you. I identified as blonde and threatened to kill myself if everyone around me didn’t pretend my Weasley-red hair looked exactly like Marilyn Monroe’s.

This reminds me this chubby guy who went complaining about fatphobia on social media because I "rejected" him. Funny thing is that I didn't even reject him, I simply wasn't available the day he asked me out. I found him attractive, but that was a huge red flag.

I honestly have a thing for gingers. Pardon me. XD

It’s a tacit admission that they know no one would want them if they were given free will. So they would prefer to have an excuse for why no one wants to date them that allows them to cast the blame entirely on others and themselves as victims.
