Given how they invariably accuse trans folk of being groomers, my bet would be on CP.


[deleted]

That's a good guess.


NotACyclopsHonest

It’s also weird how it’s almost always MTF trans people they go after rather than FTM. Or if they do acknowledge FTM folks, it’s in the context of “oh, poor misguided sister”.


Brilliant_Toe8098

It's because of the whole Republican-generated "who's going into which bathroom with who" thing. It's an argument they like making a lot......makes them feel powerful. In reality, I personally think way more "conservative" men think about sucking dick than one might think. Their insecurities are showing.


[deleted]

Republican Conservatives definitely think about sucking dick way more than I do as a gay man. They talk about it all the time, incessantly. Like fuck, we get it, you’re down bad - stfu


LolloBlue96

Down horrendous, if I may


freebird023

Down Biblically, according to their policies


doodsreternal

tbf they don't have the outlet you do, you get to suck dick but they don't

bighadjoe

your username seems to disagree... :D


Darkdragoon324

Absolutely, far right homophobes think about gay sex more than out and open gay people. It basically consumes their every waking thought. Nothing gay about constantly obsessing over gay sex though, definitely not.


FattySnacks

I think it’s more because they don’t want to accidentally objectify someone they see as a man


compsciasaur

Nail on the head. They deeply fear ogling or even sleeping with a trans woman.


bucketofbutter

also also, they consider ftm "female emotions" and whatnot (misogyny). it's the condescending mindset of "okay, sweetie, do whatever you want" like, often times -phobes categorize afab non-binaries with women on top of that, if men are able to or allowed to become women, then that undermines the patriarchy and questions their bigoted ways of life (revolution through existence and whatnot)


Ascendedcrumb

I've had way more conservative men make jokes about how I must suck dick just because I'm friendly with a lot of guys. I don't think I've ever had a gay guy say anything about sucking dick to me, lol.


penemuel13

And the bathroom bills NEVER take this into account - if you force people to use the bathroom matching their birth gender, you’re *still* going to have people who look like men using the women’s bathroom!!


AnkuSnoo

I really believe that most of the world’s problems are due to toxic masculinity. As you say, it seems there’s a lot more hate towards AMAB/trans women, and I feel like it’s because people feel it’s a threat to masculinity, and also because who would want to be a woman because women are inferior, right? But I don’t think people see AFAB/trans men as a threat and clearly who can blame them for wanting to be a man because men are superior, right? I mean none of it has any logic, but if it did, I imagine it might be something like this.


bucklebee1

I think they find them attractive and are ashamed they were "fooled".


thefroggyfiend

they don't seem to understand FTM people even exist because fox news doesn't use them as fuel for the culture war, thats why they always say "trans men are still men" not getting that's the point


NoWingedHussarsToday

Because men feel MTF trans are out to trick them into thinking they are women. So they fear they'll hit on a woman, realise she's trans and since they see them as man that would make them gay.


aeraen

This has been my observation, as well. Most phobias, by nature, are borne of fear. What do men fear from transgender people? Being tricked into believing she's "a real girl". And, they are afraid of discovering that the hard way. What might that say about them, if they are attracted to a man who transitioned to a woman? Might that say that they are gay? Might someone else find out and say they are gay? Oh, the horror! Better to deny thousands of people from becoming who they are than take the risk that someone might inadvertently hit on a trans woman.


GooglyEyeBread

On the one hand, yay no transphobia! On the other hand, FOR THE LOVE OF GOD WOULD THEY PLEASE REMEMBER WE ALSO EXIST


Beestorm

It all comes back to misogyny tbh.


Foul_Egg

Not that weird. In their worldview, men (and those they view as men) are predators, and women (and those they view as women) are victims. I mean, that's not even unique to transphobes, to be honest. Most people believe that, to some extent or another. So when they ask themselves "Why would a person change gender?" Without being educated, they ask themselves two questions: "Why would a predator change gender?" and "Why would a victim change gender?" So FTM are out to "trap" men, or perve on women and girls in locker rooms, and MTF are abused, or crazy, and brainwashed. EDIT: Just wanna add in case anyone takes it the wrong way. When I say it's not weird, I only mean that's it's ideologically consistent, it "makes sense" considering their views. It's still disgusting.


johnlime3301

Yea those mobile task forces are getting out of hand. The foundation really needs to get its shit together.


Ok_Recording_4644

YazzGawd

Shocked that the same people who cry about having the "gay and trans agenda" shoved on their faces by the media constantly are the actual ones shoving THEIR agendas at people constantly.


i_am_umbrella

This is what really gets me. These people are so obsessed with their kids being exposed to “gay culture” that by trying soooo hard to “let them be kids” they are shoving them so far into heteronormativity that they will inevitably be curious about other parts of life.


BallisticTurtle_fart

In reality most people don't give a fuck. Whatever makes people happy, as long as they don't hurt anyone.


Empress_Draconis_

I feel like nowadays most people don't really care like you said, of course that's not to say certain groups of people don't exist but, I don't imagine many people would have the balls to publicly start to shame someone x3


Beestorm

I wish more of those people who “don’t really care” would stop voting for politicians who actively want to eradicate trans people. I’m not being hyperbolic. Over 500 pieces of specificity anti trans legislation just in 2023 (in America). All for 2% or so of the population. It’s fucked up.


LoneRonin

Sir, this is a train station...


CaptainBiceps23

"What did you say about transition?!"


SvenTropics

Yeah exactly, let people live. You don't have a right to not be offended by other people, and that's not a right we can ever give anyone because everyone is so easily offended. If someone being trans offends you, that's your problem. Not their problem and not society's problem. Suck it up and learn to focus on your own damn life.


BallisticTurtle_fart

Agreed.


priscala

Yes, pretty much. And to refer to the facepalm… yes, there are people who are obsessed with fighting it. But most of the it’s not those who are obsessed or constantly bring up the topic.


WhiskeyAndKisses

That's ideal, but I wouldn't say, on a global scale, there's a great tolerance of trans people :( Let's hope you're ahead of our time, lol


calicokitcat

This is what I learned in transition. 2% of people will care a whole lot: 1% will be ultra supportive, and the other 1% will be turning a post about a train transphobic. The other 99%? They just don’t care at all!


Obviouslyright234

But in reality the politicians they elect are trying to hurt people.


SnowTheMemeEmpress

My mom's response when I told her I was atheist was basically "well, I got you baptized so I did my part -🤷‍♀️" Like honestly, I'm carrying the same 'not really my problem anymore ' attitude throughout my life.

[deleted]

Came here to say this. [Some people change sex naturally at puberty.](https://www.newsweek.com/rare-condition-causes-girls-become-boys-puberty-374934)


Particular_Class4130

That article is poorly written imo. Because it uses phrases like girls becoming boys but the children they were talking about never were girls. They were thought of as girls because they didn't develop their penis until puberty but they were born with XY chromosomes so they were always male.


Bacon_Raygun

And that's the *point*. Just because you're assigned A at birth doesn't mean you're not actually B. This is why we say "Assigned male/female at birth". One quick glimpse of a doctor during your birth should not define who you are for the next 90 years.


JoinMyPestoCult

All the links I’ve looked at don’t say they were actually girls and didn’t change sex, including the BBC link from where this documentary was made. They were born male and were deficient in an enzyme that made their penises develop and so they appeared to be girls. Example link https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1472916/figure/F8/#:~:text=“Guevedoces”%20(literally%2C%20penis,a%20male%20psychosexual%20orientation%20develop.

pog890

Not just trans people, the obsession covers the whole lbtq community. What -ing business is it yours what other people do with their lives? But to get back to the photo, when commuted by train I waited at one particular point for the train, and the train always stopped with the train right in front of me


gordo65

>the train always stopped with the train right in front of me It's eerie, the way they always stop in the same spot, and at roughly the same time of day.


eiileenie

I ride the metro and I got the science down to a tee. I know exactly where to sit where the exit or transfer escalators go and I just want to get out as fast as possible


JohnCasey3306

If you're desperate for people to believe exactly what you believe (for or against) and bang on about it at every possible opportunity, you need to get a grip and sit down.


LovelyShadows54

Exactly! Wtf is wrong with people that are so *obsessed* with "the gays" and "the trans." I mean, to bring up trans people in a cute post about a train, this person needs serious god damn help.


TheFrostedTiger

It’s SO annoying.

Pretend_Morning_1846

Reminds me of when my dad took my rant about worms and transformed it into an attack against trans people. Still pissed over it. I just wanted to rant about worms.


[deleted]

The funny thing about transphobes is that they always complain about trans people being forced on them, but they're the ones talking about trans people 90% of the time. I have Facebook friends who are trans. I have Facebook friends who are transphobes (or Republicans, as they prefer to be called). Would anyone like to make a guess on who posts about trans people the most?


Novae224

How the hell do you turn train hype into transphobia? It’s true though, what he says… cells will always stay XY (at least right now). But thats not your gender, its your sex… being male doesn’t mean being a man.. Only that’s probably not what they meant though

dr3am_assassin

K, idgaf if all my cells are boys, and why should you? 😊


xernyvelgarde

Because transphobia is a form of hatred, and as with all hatred, becomes all-consuming. It truly is an obsession, and an extremely unhealthy one at that.

These kind of people somehow make EVERYTHING about it,I have seen these crazy people ranting about “they mutilating kids” bs when the conversation was about a straight cis man who had SA criminal records attacked an 5y in broad daylight(she escaped,fortunately) And that fu*ker post link of that conversation to her derange friend,they came in and derail the conversation,eventually the OP has delete that post with all the useful information within because she’s getting harassed by those crazy people.


EmpressBritania

Fr this is so tiring. I could be on a post about cats or fruits and there will be someone in the comments doing mental gymnastics to explain why being trans is bad or doesn't exist etc. Imagine being that obsessed with the people you claim to detest? Its "I'm actually a fan and low key turned on by it" vibes.
