If you live in a metropolitan centre in the us or canada and you start terfing around everyone you know will publicly hate you or only talk to you in private, or be afraid to be seen talking to you at all, in any way, ever. Fuck those people.

But you can also lose your job, so be careful.

Edit: most of my gay friend group are pretty heavy TRA. the few transes, lesbians, bisexuals, gays and straights I know who share terven views only speak among ourselves. Yes, I am good friends with transes who hate all this shit and are scared

I'm curious as to what the trans people you mentioned hate about it. What is it specially?

I've heard that some trans people in the internet say that they do believe gender is a social construction that should be dismantled but they feel that in this life it's only possible to conform to it because is not going to change so soon. So what they do is present the way they feel most comfortable and try to be this gender but at the same time affirm that it is a social thing, different than sex.

I’m not the Op you asked the question to, but from what I can tell most real trans people have severe dysphoria and have had it since they were children, and have therefore taken hormones and/or surgery to deal with it, to them that is an essential part of being trans. These days you don’t even have to have dysphoria to ID as trans, or any desire to change your hormones or body, all you have to do is say you are trans and you must be believed, that’s the dogma. It’s undermining to people who are actually legitimately trans, who have suffered because of it and want to be respected and taken seriously.
