This comment was priceless:

One of the worst things in my experience being trans is that we are a tiny minority. It's not like other minorities who have greater numbers and subsequently more resources to fight harmful stereotypes and bullshit. We are so few relatively speaking that we do not get to control the narrative or conversation being had about us.

What world are you living in? Trans identification is rising, and you control the entire LGBTQ++ narrative and the entire trans narrative.

Not to mention, if a group is small enough, stereotypes are just a description. Stereotypes are stereotypes because a small part of a group has become representative of the rest of the group. That's hard to say about the T where the majority are the supposed stereotype.

Let's be honest, the T phenomenon is entirely only about stereotypes, almost by definition.

Well those stereotypes they rely on are stereotypes about men, women, and homo/bisexuals. They do require those stereotypes to justify their own existence. But the T themselves are pretty much just their own one stereotype per tribe: trans lesbians, trans gay men, etc.

Being reminded that cis people by and large find trans people undesirable and see us as our AGAB is actively harming trans people here

They really just want to live in a delusional world, don't they? No reality at all can make it through to them.

Honestly there’s like no place safe for trans people, not even a lot of trans spaces are entirely safe

Unironically stated, as the entire thread is about making sure the sub is silenced so it's a safe space for trans people, while also referring questioners to other TRANS subs.

No, they'll just have you banned. My Reddit account was just suspended for chasing FTMs out of r/AskGayBros

TRANS people by and large find trans people undesirable! And the main reason for that? Not that they see each other as their "AGAB" (cuz that ain't a thing)-- rather, they don't see their fellow trans people in terms of "gender" at all. They see them as their sex. The way that we do. And, for that matter, the way they see the rest of us. Because that's how all animal species using sexual reproduction are wired. Which explains why "transbians" are notorious for their sexual disinterest in each other, and "gay transmen" likewise.

So we're ALL unattracted to trans people! Hey-- we have something in common after all! Maybe getting in a circle, holding hands, and singing "no trans in my dating pool, thanks!" can be our version of Kumbaya?

If trans people would stop going after the only groups that aren't attracted to their biological sex, they wouldn't have to deal with potential romantic partners constantly stating their lack of attraction to them and their genitalia.

How is acknowledging reality "actively harming trans folx"?!

"I don't care if some random cis person doesn't want to date us, we don't want to date them either." The biggest lie in Internet history.

Also this comment makes me so angry. https://www.reddit.com/r/lgbt/comments/seq603/comment/hul24j4/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3 I'm not obligated to date you or be attracted to you.

Also, it's just flat out lies.

they come at you with a list of reasons why you'll never be as good as a cis person

WE'RE NOT SAYING ANYTHING ABOUT YOUR VALUE. We just said no. Every person can do that, we're all allowed to have boundaries.

They're the ones pressing for specific details, and then judging us and themselves based on those reasons. It's very immature and short-sighted.

If your entire sense of self is based on being "validated" by way of getting people who aren't sexually attracted to you to declare their desire to fuck you, then being told no negates their entire sense of self.

Well good, thanks for clarifying. Can you now put in the side bar that it's the sub's official position that it is transphobic to not be attracted to trans people, and also clarify that it's not "cisphobic" to not be attracted to "cis" people?

Might as well also throw in that (1) gay men and straight women are misogynists for not being attracted to women; (2) lesbians and straight men are misandrists for not being attracted to men; and (3) bisexuals are hoes who have no excuse to not be attracted to anyone unless they're only attracted to "cis" and trans people of the opposite sex in which case it's totally fine that they're not attracted to anyone of the same sex and are so very valid.

Time after time they’re forced to confront the unfairness of reality. 🙄

It's rightfully not considered acceptable to say "I wouldn't date X ethnicity", so why should it be acceptable to say "I don't date trans people"?

Race and ethnicity are actual social constructs with very fuzzy lines drawn around the definitions. Sex is not a social construct, it's explicit evolutionary purpose is to increase genetic diversity through reproduction.

It's impossible for humans to reprogram their sexual attraction. They want to conflate sex with gender while also misrepresenting what gender is in the first place.
