  • I believe its because they don’t believe being trans is real, and so they think anyone who is trans is just a pervert cause the only reason they can think anyone would want to be a woman is to perv on women. Its at the end of the day misogyny. Because of this I don’t think they even realize trans men even exist, cause it doesnt fit their misogynistic ideas of men and women. To them, women cant be pervs so there is no reason why someone they see as a woman would want to be seen as a man. Even if they do know of trans men, I don’t think they see it as problematic (or at least as severely so) because of their misogynism.

    However, this is all just my thoughts on it, and also very much a generalization. Even if I am right, it is very likely there are transphobes that this doesnt apply to.


  • No, your friend is in the wrong. I use dude and bro a lot, and for everyone. I use it irregardless of gender. HOWEVER, I also respect others. If someone is uncomfortable with how I am referring to them, I accommodate. Because it costs me nearly nothing to change the way I talk, and I likely would be having a harmful impact on whoever I am talking with if I don’t respect their boundaries. This is particularly the case for trans folk, cause refusing to accommodate only worsens the impact of gender dysphoria.

    The only time I have ever given pushback is when someone tells me not to use the word “queer.” I am queer, and I identify as gender-queer, and I will not censor my identity.







  • The statement that “all trans people want more” is also crazy to me cause it makes me wonder how he’d react to a case like my sister who in fact wants less (in a way). My sister used to be prescribed it via pill, but her doctor swapped her to the patch (saying it had lower stroke risk), but she seems to be really sensitive to the patch. This is causing her hormone levels to be way to high and I guess giving her symptoms similar to being on her period 24/7. She wants to go back onto the pill but the doctor wont answer the phone or her emails.
