This just shows me that "gay" transmen aren't affected by homophobia. It doesn't hurt them at all. They actually love it because it validates their identity. Being called a f_ggot is not a validating experience for gay men, it sucks.

There's a similar thing going on with transwomen who feel euphoric over getting cat-called. Meanwhile, they claim they experience misogyny in the same way that natal women do. It's so messed up and it pisses me off.

They don't even care to understand the history or point of view the community they claim they are a part of. Their whole identity is narcissism and they don't care about anything past the tip of their nose unless it "invalidates" them.

Hence the "new" lgbt flag, with the giant invasion arrow, using false equivalence to hijack the issues of racism to smuggle in gender fetishes as some kind of oppressed community. That flag makes me so mad.

A cursory glance through post history paints a picture of a very young (regularly posts to /r/teenagers) person with very little else to do. A one-year old account with 286,000+ post karma, incredibly regular posts to /r/tumblr and almost all of said posts being about trans bollocks would suggest someone who spends a great deal of their time on Reddit, and we all know what that means.

Furthermore, I don't know what LGB people are treated like in Adelaide (where poster appears to be from) but I have my doubts that someone would shout 'faggot' out of a car window at a random pair of 'men' who were ostensibly just walking down the street (outside being a place we know OP doesn't go).

Finally, as /u/motss-pb rightly points out, even if this did happen (which I doubt), the OP has nothing other than a completely inappropriate reaction to it. I'm not saying she should break down in tears and curl into a little ball, but there's no reflection on 'wow, must it be awful if this happened to actual gay men? How terrible for them' instead it's 'lol im a real boy now!'.

Fuck this cretin.

im in one of the most liberal cosmopolitan cities on the planet. it does happen. theyre usually immigrants or the lowest of the low on the socioeconomic scale. Not everyone in liberal cities is liberal.

True but as another Australian I find it unlikely some Adelaidian bogans would shout ‘faggot’ rather than ‘poofter’ or some other more Aussie slur.

Can confirm that I've had lesbian and dyke shouted at me, but I've never once heard someone use f-ggot or f-ggy here. Adelaide is relatively LGB friendly to the point where there was a public park right next to our main shopping precinct where lesbians (now it's mostly queer people and other alphabet soup people) gathered to make out and hang out, and that was years and years before we got gay marriage legalised. I only once (in more than a decade) got harassed by a couple of men for walking with a clearly lesbian woman, but other than that, you see quite a few LGBTQ people all over Adelaide and there's an increasing amount of openly trans people. The only place where I could see someone shouting the f slur would be on Hindley Street, pretty much our tiny red light/drugs/nightclub district, and even then, it's pretty tame during the day.

I'm sure for a fact that she's making this shit up for upvotes.

I grew up in country SA surrounded by some bogans and ferals but never heard them use f** so I can’t imagine it being thrown around in Adelaide.

Poof/ poofter on the other hand was said all the time. So, if the story went like some yelled poofters from a car window at us, it would be more believable.

But regardless of the word it’s wrong to use it as a form of validation.

Hell yeah, another (close to) Radelaidean!

I've definitely heard poofter/poof being used, although it's mostly older people than people my age.

Completely agree here. If you're proud of being called slurs (or you're using them yourself against gay men, which is ridiculously common among 'gay' transmen), then you're a fucking idiot and should find a better goddamn hobby.

"Fuck this cretin." Goddamn right! I say this to myself a lot when I delve into these issues. :)

I find it hard to believe that a young girl wouldn't be scared by being shouted at from a car by a strange man.

But she told them to fuck off and everyone clapped

I'm mtf and I remember how thrilled I was to be cat called ... I told a beautiful lady friend of mine about it ... And she lunched into what they had said to her ... I was like oh shit they were just as gross to her as they were to me?? YES!

He could at least pretend to be disgusted the way women are when being sexually harassed.

You 100% know they're lying through their teeth.
This is those fake-ass stories they concoct to get internet clout, and it's so pathetically obvious.

And even if it was true, all it shows is that they aren't actual gay men because they can laugh something like this off.

Gross. See also transwoman in the thread describing how thrilled they were to be sexually harassed on the street by 'gross' men. But they want feminism to centre them and their interests.

They LOVE misoginy how can they be feminists?

All I can think of is the "Blind Klansman" skit by Dave Chapelle, where he screams racial slurs at a bunch of white kids listening to hip hop, who think it is amazing that the were called n_ggers by a black dude.

I wish I could build a time machine to ship all of these Aidens back to the 1980's, where they'd be forced to stay for all eternity. Let's see you fetishistize gay men and homophobia when people are dying around you from an epidemic that conservatives are calling "punishment from God". These fujoshies would cut the "I'm a f*ggy wag uwu" shit real quick.

This post and the disturbingly cheery comments is the shit that plants the seed of doubt in actual gay people who have not yet peaked and will wake them up to the fact that there is something not quite right going on with the T. It’s hard for us to believe you truly feel like gay people on the inside when you act like that. This is the “call is coming from inside the house” moment where you realize these people are treating our lives and traumas like a costume and game. It’s so gross.

And for anyone who tries to claim this is a one-off, then why is it still up on censor-happy and supposedly LGBTQ friendly Reddit? And why did it get upvotes and support in the comments? Why does this seem to be a shared experience not of actual homosexual people but of heterosexual people who are campaigning to get “validated as gay?”
