I’m beginning to wonder if the word “transphobia” even has any meaning anymore, or if it has joined the jumble of now non-words that are tossed around without any definitive meaning anymore, like “lesbian”. Basically anything that is not trans worship seems to be deemed transphobia now.

add the words "fascist" and "Nazi" to the list. Whenever i see these words online it has nothing to do with the actual meaning of the word. Don't think tw are women or tm are men? "Fascist!". Don't want to date trans or pronoun people? "Literal Nazi!". JK Rowling? "Fascist Nazi Terf!"

It's a bit ironic that the people who accuse others of being bigoted or facists are more so themselves than those they accuse. The cancel culture, cries for legislation to control people, and general hatred of wrongthink? That's awfully similar to what the actual, legitimate, original-definition-of-literal Nazis did in Germany back before and during WWII. It's constant deflection, these groups are accusing everyone else of being what they are. It's sad that so many people are fooled and refuse to question these groups at all simply because they point fingers.

Yep. IIRC the historical Nazi book-burnings were led by students (and professors) too, and now we have a bunch of supposed progressives who are often in the younger set advocating for censorship and social control. Chilling

I think those of us on the left can sometimes lapse into a lot of white-knighting and think anyone acting like a victim must be one. Those of us who don't know better, that is. But if you default to being a caring, compassionate position toward other people, you can very easily be played.

And that is exactly the drug that toxic narcissists need to constantly find new sources of. So they flock to caring listeners and manipulate the shit out of them. This is a known issue, so to speak. Narcissists do not point themselves at people who don't GAF. That doesn't feed their habit. They want attention and validation. The slur "bleeding-heart liberals" isn't entirely irrelevant though it is usually used in a different way. Anyone who is kind and willing to listen is a target. It's pretty simple. We give, and they take. But first they have to construct reasons for us to give what they want to take.

The lefties who aren't really self-aware or might be insecure themselves, have issues with being rescuers, etc., then jump on their horses and go on crusades to protect or advocate for these people. It's a perfect fucked-up-family dynamic. It is, in fact, a manifestation of the Karpman Drama Triangle:

And if they mention colonialism, then they are generally social colonizers who assign people “identities” and put people in boxes and accuse them of self-hatred when they don’t act consistent with their prescribed belief system. Also see accusing people of “acting against their own self-interest.”

Transphobia is anything that hurts trans people's feeling or doesn't make them feel validated.

So telling the truth then.

I consider the TP word hate speech against women and gay men.

[–]SnowAssMan 46 insightful - 3 fun46 insightful - 2 fun47 insightful - 3 fun -  (5 children)

If a post about 'penis' offends lesbians – banned. If the mere mention of the word 'penis' triggers transbians – most upvoted comment.

Are they even allowed to make posts about vaginas anymore, or would that get you banned?

[–]SkinnyVanilla 33 insightful - 10 fun33 insightful - 9 fun34 insightful - 10 fun -  (1 child)

They can make the post, but all of the comments will be:

“And girldick too!”

“Also trans women”

“Don’t forget about my penis!”

“OP, try to be more inclusive”

"Remember that most lesbians have girldicks and that rhetoric like this is literally killing 487 million innocent black transwomen every single hour"

By “mentioning vaginas” you mean “punching down on cute and valid trans lesbians,” right?

It would trigger dysphoria, it might be

Being lesbian is transphobic. And "Actual Lesbian" sub is all about transgenders, you can't see it from name? Why you would think that being lesbian in lesbian sub will side with you on lesbian problems?

[–]PepsicolaStressbian 32 insightful - 5 fun32 insightful - 4 fun33 insightful - 5 fun -  (5 children)

Just go though the list of mods. Most of them are transbians or ‘queer’ . The sub should be called actually not lesbians

[–]SkinnyVanilla 23 insightful - 6 fun23 insightful - 5 fun24 insightful - 6 fun -  (4 children)

Lol there was a sub called r/actuallynotlesbians for making fun of them, but it got banned in the purge

That's rather offensive to gutter trash tbh.

Yeah at least some of that stuff is recyclable.

I keep seeing it as "glitter trash" and I like that better. A bunch of gaudy little nuisances with no practical purpose and usually glued to things intended for little girls.

And you keep finding them everywhere no matter how times you sweep.

Everything slightly contrary is an ATTACK, got it.

Actual lesbians more like Autogynephilic hetero males.

[–]our_team_is_winning 15 insightful - 2 fun15 insightful - 1 fun16 insightful - 2 fun -  (0 children)

None of us should ever look there again, not even for cringe comedy, and then the sub will become 100% male and they can talk amongst themselves.

I fucking knew that comment and poster would get banned! Woque homophobes being predictable. Her comment was so reasonable and true, but I guess they just die at any semblance of truth or reality. The truth makes them spontaneously combust from rage.

What do they think lesbians are attracted to? Female stereotypes?

I don't know if you meant that as a joke or if you were being serious, but this is probably exactly how they think

No lesbians are allowed on Reddit?

I hate this sub so much. Also banned for simply saying "lesbians don't like men". They're a circus. And the people there are stupid clowns

[–]marmorsymphata[S] 5 insightful - 3 fun5 insightful - 2 fun6 insightful - 3 fun -  (0 children)

But I thought transwomen weren't men to them? 🤔
