Because straight men (much like gay women) are the ultimate validation of their personal reality. It's proving to the entire world (but to themselves especially) that they're real women, not just a make-believe approximation Frankensteined into shape by a nightmarish combination of drugs, surgical mutilation, and extreme denial of facts.

But heterosexual men are heterosexual because they don't want to have sex with other men, and if you were born with a penis? You're a man, and therefore not part of a heterosexual man's dating pool, even if some doctor later did some knifework on it.

I'm going to be honest but the T needs to be drop because if the T is the hill that gay people are willing to die on by making it seem like they're really women and harass straight men for not giving trans people a consideration for dating then they're showing they are hypocrites.

I have actually seen a lot of gays and lesbians criticize the T's, even on this very same saidit. s/LGBDroptheT had a lot of them before it went private.

I'm in the private sub. I don't know what proportion of LGB are DropTheT, but it's smaller than I would like.

This is not the hill I want to die on and I feel like trans people are dragging me there to do exactly that.

With any consolation, those numbers should grow as more kids de-transition, and word spreads.

Don't let it bring you down, take a vacation from social media if need be, the T is way more quiet off the internet than in it.

I'm in the privated sub and I'm happy to say that there's something in the works for the Drop The T movement.
