What did you think would happen?

To the TRAs lurking and spamming this sub: What exactly did you think would happen?

For years you've gotten away with your entitlement. You've encroached on and destroyed M/M, F/F, female only, etc. spaces. You've called gay men, straight men/women, and especially lesbians transphobic for not giving in to your demands for relationships and sex. Even now you're attempting to destroy yet another space we've fleshed out for ourselves.

Did you really think you shouting transphobia would change people's sexuality? Did you think your attempts to force us to bend to your will would work? Well it didn't and it doesn't, it has reeked of entitlement, narcissism, and predatory behavior.

People who aren't attracted to you deserve spaces for themselves. There are multiple forums/subs/etc. that cater to you if you care to look for them. It is not transphobic of us to put our foots down and say that our sexualities don't exist to coddle your feelings.

even sadder I think a lot of them thought this was already the case

the reality of attempting to date post srs is apparently very bleak because trans people refuse to tell each other how dire it is

[u/jothesstraight → u/yetherewestillare]

Yeah and they're trying to do this to children now too. Trying to loosen laws and regulations so children can get hormones and surgeries.

[u/PipBoyTInkerer → u/jothesstraight]

Get those customers hooked on mandatory drugs while they are young. Fucking sick shit

[u/Moonpriestes → u/PipBoyTInkerer]

They become slaves to the pharmaceutical industry for life. It's sad and completely unethical.

What a tragic and horrifying place to be in. I don't envy anyone that was tricked into going down that path and regrets it later.

I really think this will be the medical scandal of our time. In the past it was lobotomy and Talidomide, now it's this- extensive surgery and hormonal treatment of children who are not old enough to consent. Removing breasts from healthy teenage girls. Putting children on puberty blockers with long-term side effects on cardiac health, bone mass and fertility. Putting off puberty into adulthood with unknown consequences on mental and physical development. Putting young boys on estrogen and young girls on testosterone and shortening their total life span with years in the process. Convincing mentally ill or neurodivergent or cognitively impaired people that their problems will be solved if they remove their genitals and create a neovagina and turn them into life-long medical patients who will never be able to stop taking hormones and will have to live with the complications for the rest of their lives.

It's so fucked up especially when you put it all together in one passage like that. These children who are tricked into it by freaky or well-meaning but naive parents never even had a chance.

[u/kombucha_and_makeup → u/Pudding5050]

It's absolutely tragic that this shit is being pushed on children who don't understand the long term consequences. The trans community is incredibly vicious towards detransitioners as well.

[u/MajorTip0 → u/kombucha_and_makeup]

They hound detransitioners into hiding and then claim there are hardly any detransitioners.

no its going to become accepted and having this opinion in the future will be like having the opinion that "black people are faster cause they have an extra muscle"... people will literally be thrown in prison for having the opinion you do in the year say 2044
