It's just a cycle. Last time people got up in arms like this in the 80-90s it was about homosexuals because media was shoving homolove down their throats. It went too far, people pushed back, it normalizes. Trans turn now.

I do think it's important this be done, eventually a middle ground will be achieved.

Believe me. I don't agree that trannies should be able to compete in anything other than their birth sex. I just think calling yourself "superstraight" and using a forum to cry about it makes any sense whatsoever. To each his own, but until I blocked this sub I had a good look at this group and all I see are retarded little kids thinking they're actually doing something worthwhile.

Yes, I agree. It does seem silly to make a forum to “cry about it”. However, this forum was born out of censorship. People have legitimate concerns about the trans movement. One of which you just stated (trans people competing in sports outside of their biological gender)

SuperStraight started as a joke but people reacted to it as though it was real. Which, ironically, made it real. People should be able to have discussions about their legitimate concerns. It is kind of childish to be so loud about not wanting to date a trans person, but they should be able to be loud about it if they choose to be. People are getting death threats and being called a bigot for saying they wouldn’t date a trans person. Even when they are supportive of the trans community in general.

This forum is a direct result of people not being able to talk about these issues without getting banned. When you censor and silence anyone who opposes you it doesn’t make people agree with you. It makes people find a place where they can speak openly. If the conversations you have seen on this forum were allowed on Reddit or Twitter this forum probably wouldn’t exist. Instead, people would have said what they needed to say and moved on. What do you expect when TRA attack anyone who says anything except an enthusiastic “Yes!” to the things they want? Of course you will end up with a forum of people airing their grievances all at once.
