Seeing as how the T damn near ruined my life, I am a combination of angry and depressed. I was almost a victim of child transing, which I detailed on a post here a few days ago. However, what makes me the most upset about TQ+ rhetoric is the blatant homophobia against those with trauma. I’ve been told that although it’s unfortunate that I was abused as a child, that doesn’t excuse the fact that my aversion penis is inherently transphobic. Of course being new to the community, I believed they were right and tried to envision myself with a transwoman and was completely repulsed, both with myself and with the thought of being intimate with someone who has a dick. It’s crazy to me that they don’t realize just how rapey the whole, “sleep with me or you’re a TERF” thing sounds. I’m tired of how much I’m told “try it, you might like it”. I’ve dealt with it from my own parents and religious homophobes, and now from the people I’m supposed to have a sense of community with.

I'm sorry you had to go through that. You honestly know what makes me angry about this whole "movement" as a heterosexual male? That these people are OBVIOUSLY cowards. They're terrified of trying to really push this nonsense on heterosexuals (particularly males). They know we could give a flying you know what, about being labeled or called anything, when it comes to boundaries of our sexuality. I honestly believe they know that every male of every race, ethnicity, & age group, would end them if they attempted to force this rape nonsense on them. I'm so sorry that the LGB (especially lesbians) are going through this nonsense, because it's wrong & egregious on so many levels. These men are sick & should be ashamed of themselves & worst of all they're cowards to not distribute this nonsense over to the male side. Yeah, we know why that is.

They are cowards for not going after straight men and also for not going after celesbians. Find me a celesbian actress, musician, YouTuber, etc. who has dated a transwoman, much less has a single one in their social circle. Rather they spin lies to get empty public endorsements from these celebrity LGB people, but they not dare risk agitating one of them, turning it into a public issue, and then being forced to face the wrath of their fan bases.

No, these cowards work in the shadows and focus on people they see as less than them and expendable. And ever so often, they reach too far like when they went after JK Rowling. They know they fucked up with her. That’s why they keep claiming victory as if they actually got her canceled when she is as successful as ever and she successfully brought in more public attention to the issues they tried to keep in the shadows. Since then, things have stopped going their way in the UK.
