Targeting / HarassmentJust realized: TRAs claim being homosexual is a "genital fetish" but also say "don't kink shame!" If they think we have a fetish then why do they shame us for it?

It's just homophobia. The way they talk about homosexuality makes it clear they believe our sexual orientation is a choice or preference the same way conservatives do. They don't actually care about gay men or lesbians. In fact most of the time when I see trans people talk about us, they're doing it in a degrading way. Because we don't play along with their gender cosplay.

It's sad and alarming how many people transition because they're gay and think transitioning will make them straight. It's awful how a lot of these people act but I feel for the amount of internalized homophobia. I wish more people were working on fixing that and their trauma instead of thinking transitioning will magically make them happy.

Completely agree. Perhaps if there were more support for people with internalized homophobia and education about it then we would see many fewer people choosing to transition in order to avoid being gay.
