Oh I'd love to elaborate on this 3rd part which I think was made to please self-hating women (aka non-binary ones and probably some trans men, who wanna stay "feminine"). You missed how much transwomen brag about having a "girldick". It's straight-up normalized what's mind-boggling when you confront the fact we're told trans people will kill themselves if they don't transition asap especially as little kids.

They have no cognitive dissonance because they don't consider LGB or women to be actual people. Trans rights movement is fundamentally a straight and men's rights movement and it shows in all of your examples.

Solid list. There was a website I found a while back that had a massive list of such contradictions, even more than this... I'll see if I can find it.

I've been thinking recently that I ought to make some memes about these ridiculous contradictions. They deserve more attention and air. They aren't talked about enough and I think meme content may be less likely to get banned from social media cites than text posts, because they're more humorous.

There's endemic transphobia among cis gays and lesbians but LGB Alliance is totally run by straight people because most gay people support trans rights.

Lmao yeah that makes absolutely no sense. Like if people would just pause and think logically about these two claims for a few seconds, they'd realize that they can't both be true! Is there rampant "transphobia" among non-trans LGB people, or is there not???

Transphobic and trans exclusionary subs on reddit need to be banned because they spread hatred. But all the 58346 violent and graphic pornographic subs involving teenagers? Totally fine.

And minority-fetishizing pornographic communities... like that one about raping lesbians. Makes my blood boil.

it doesn't fit your list but I just saw a video of a transwomen say a female ceo is "yeah... still a woman I guess" but she's enacting patriarchy so that makes her more manly or something, thus proving that you can't define woman as one thing.

I hope one day "adult female human" and "adult male human" are the only definitions used for woman and man respectively and taking away someone's gender card is no longer used to control anyone, because I still see it all the time from people who should know better.

Drag is transphobic if it caricatures transwomen, but fun and progressive if it caricatures women.

Spot on, but how do we stop it. I do think we have made some progress and people are waking up.

They are waking up.

Calling women menstruaters, bleeders and cervix/uterus havers has really pissed people off.

Crossdressers in media are transphobic caricatures but we look and act like caricatures of women.

They really do hate crossdressers. I think it's because self-identified drag queens don't identify as women, which goes to show how a man can easily dress like trans dress and yet, still be a man. Kinda ruins one of the main tools they have for validating their gender identity.

This only ceases being a splinter in their side and becomes potential gender propaganda fodder when the crossdresser is long gone(like Marsha Johnson) and TRAs can claim they were "trans all along"...
