I'm just thinking of gay bars of Yore, where the clientele faced police raids, arrests, public disgrace, hooligans, gay-bashers, arsonists. "QUEEER" kids today feel UNSAFE if someone looks at them wrong.

Trans stan Max Morgan literally erasing trans men and enbies with his phallocentrism

Also when he came out to his wife, he somehow convinced her to not divorce him. Poor woman.

In fairness, the "straight" trans people they're talking about are HSTS, so they are technically part of their acronym. Unfortunately, they are also a detriment to our community. They hate themselves so incredibly much because of the fact that they are homosexual that they become toxic stereotypes of the opposite sex and LARP full-time. They are broken and it's sad, but they promote "transitioning" homosexuals and pose a danger to us with their self-hating ignorance.

They are broken

I don't think they're "broken" permanently. They just need actual support and help with their internalized homophobia.

I'm all for that, but a lot of them are permanently altered. For example, the ones with SRS. I have heard of reversals, but only for males, and it doesn't go back to how it was before. Loss of feeling is almost guaranteed.

That's a pretty steep barrier to self-acceptance.

Ah, physically you mean. Yeah, I imagine it is a steep barrier to self-acceptance. I am extremely grateful that I encountered r/lgbdropthet and other resources before I went down that path, myself.

I have heard of people overcoming that barrier, though. I saw this article the other day about two lesbian women who transitioned and then detransitioned together; amazingly, they seem pretty accepting with the changes to their bodies, and seem to have moved on from it. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/stories-51806011

Well originally I meant mentally, but when you mentioned that they could be fixed, I also thought of the physical aspects.

It's not impossible, but it's definitely not easy either. Sounds like the women in the story didn't get SRS, which is good. It's hard to come back from that.

They both did, unfortunately-- double mastectomies, testosterone, everything but hysterectomies. It's a pretty wild read, would recommend it if you have the time.

SRS is genital surgery, including hysterectomy for women. I skimmed it but maybe I'll go back and read it in-depth.

Gotcha. I guess I just assumed that the term "SRS" included mastectomies, because it's impossible to alter one's sex, anyway, just sexual organs to some degree.

Yeah "sexual reassignment surgery" is focused on the sexual organs, somehow making them look more similar to the opposite is "reassignment" since it's all about cosmetics for these people. Inaccurate term, maybe I'll just call it "genital surgery" from now on.
