Posts like these always crack me up as they make my thoughts immediately go "Pot(gaytransmen in gay male spaces), meet kettle(straight women in gay male spaces).

Talk about being hoist by your own petard... (or maybe your own... packer? phalloplasty/Frankenpeen?)

The only way it could be MORE ironic is if every single patron of these gay bars was... a "trans guy". Like, nuthin' but Gaydens as far as the eye can see. Not one actual penis to be found. Can you IMAGINE how upset these cosplaying women would be THEN? No one to "validate" their precious delusion! No one to PERV on! It'd be HELL! And yet... what could they really say? Without revealing that THEY know "trans guys" aren't really guys either? :)

That would be hysterical.

I always tell trans men complaining about gay men to just date a transman and be the change they want to see in the world and then it’s actually a homo relationship

No way.
This has to be satire or something. NOBODY can be that lacking in self-awareness.

It's on purpose. They're just pushing the envelope. They know the word games they play, they are fully aware that criticizing trans issues is minefield of "uh-oh no no meanie" words. This shit is designed to drive you nuts and get you to say something so they can either dismiss you or try to fuck with you. It's just gaslighting.

They have to have that little self-awareness in order to pretend to be a man. This is just part of that. When straight chicks who don't pretend to be men enter the gay bar, these trans-id women feel threatened and bristle because they're being confronted with the reality of what they are.

She’s not wrong. Straight people have taken over gay bars. Her being an example.

That first commenter's avatar makes me want to commit vehicular homicide.

Mostly because I know several people with some variation of that stupid haircut and they're all arrogant dickholes.

Because of these people I'm now slightly embarrassed to be a yaoi fan. Before it was just stereotypical weebs who would embarrass me now we got weebs who want to be soft bois UwU

I will say as someone who is Gen Y it wasn't like this when I was a teen. The majority of girls/women despite some being cringe worthy weebs left gay men alone. I have never bothered a gay man in my life because like a normal person I lose attraction to people who are incapable of being attracted to me. Yaoi was just my equivalent of harlequin novels I never took them as representations for an actual gay relationship.

I don't know if me being bisexual, a fan of the opposite called yuri, being an older generation, or a combo of all three is the reason for me being a "normal" fan but I am so sorry you gay men have to deal with this.

I knew lesbians were dealing with trans women who were yuri fans bothering them although they're also lesbian/bi female yuri fans as well. We just hide from men who like it and try to seek out other females who like the genre.

I never expected women/girls to copy the same weird behavior as the male side.

It was when the shipping-is-activism SJW types gained prominence. Young women got shamed into identifying as trans men to prevent a 'fetishist' label (ironically!!!). It wasn't intrinsic to slash--I spent decades hanging out with those women (many used slash to flirt with other women). I never ran into one single trans man or anyone confused enough to believe they were representing actual gay men until 2009/10 when Tumblr became the dominant platform.
