Glad the straight men are here to decide what is and is not a problem for lesbians. We'd never figure it out on our own.

If the BBC ran a story now about how cis gay people are trying to force themselves on straight people, featuring a twitter/reddit poll with 80 respondents conducted by a anti-gay organisation, that would be homophobic, and it would be rightly called out, yet people seem to be completely fine with the same thing when the target is trans women.

Good thing we never pressured straight people in to dating/fucking us and calling them homophobic bigots if they refused, you stupid asshole.

You probably could find 100 straight men who have felt pressured at some point in their life to suck gay cock.

So let's take a data driven approach. What proportion of gay male tinder profiles are targeted to straight men? Now compare to the proportion of transwomen HER profiles targeted to lesbians.

Such an analysis should quickly clarify what's going on.

This level of brazen stupidity usually comes from a level of mental un-wellness that the general population doesn't have. Most people would know instinctively that that's a losing hand to play (of course it doesn't even occur to most people to go there in the first place). Pathologically narcissistic people are not good at seeing the train coming down the tracks. Their methods are crude. (Yet startlingly effective when tailor-made to exploit other people's weaknesses.)

You know what? Good on the BBC for putting their foot down. It’s high time we all just start saying no instead of groveling.

They are trying to replace "transwomen" with "black man" to make some kind of comparison but black men are not an ideology. It can't be compared

Also, I don't hear black men always claiming racism when people don't want to sleep with them. Maybe some do, but not nearly to the level that trans do

I've seen it. A 50 year old black man tried to talk to me in the park so I ignored him and he was like "am I too black for you?" I'm 20 but I look younger than my age, women usually tell me I look 16. But another black man was like "no you're too male for her." Idk if he was mocking me for being a lesbian but at least he wasnt agreeing with calling me racist for not wanting to sleep with a borderline pedo

And then later on an older black woman came over saying she wants to apologize on his behalf

So yeah there might be a few black incels who call people racist for not wanting to sleep with them but black people as a whole don't support that bs. Whereas almost the entire trans community worships incels

It's shameful how hard they're trying to find comparisons that neutralize this story, rather than simply acknowledging that it's a problem.

Top comment:

Every minority has a small minority of sexual predators, and because of this an article like the one on the BBC could be published about any demographic.

Because of this, publishing an article like that about a group without any evidence to suggest that the group has a statistically significant problem with its members being sexually predatory can be taken as hateful propaganda towards that group.

To the surprise of no one, that user is a trans woman.

The thing that they're not getting is that, yes, this article could be published about black men pressuring women into sex, or gay men pressuring straight men into sex, or whatever. The difference is that we as a society in general have come to the conclusion that anyone pressuring anyone else into sex or relationships is a bad person, while at this point in time, trans people are seen as unable to do anything wrong.

If there was a handful of gay men on Twitter posting things like, "I'm not saying that straight men need to have sex with gay men, but maybe they need to examine their homophobia and reflect on why they won't have sex with gay men," or "Straight men refusing to date gay men is homophobic and violent," that handful of gay men would be ripped apart as creepy predators. Meanwhile, there is a supposed minority of trans women going around on social media saying exactly those things about lesbians and they are being applauded for it. That is the difference. That is why this is newsworthy.

Something tells me these men need their sick sexual fantasy of the month fulfilled at all costs.
