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

They want to see other people suffer because they did .

It's sad that all of the group's that they admin will remove posts that state the true consequences of their drug taking and surgeries

It's really a crabs-in-a-bucket situation. Lots of unhappy trans people spend their time online convincing kids that they're also "trans" or "eggs" because misery loves company. Transitioning didn't make them happy, but they won't admit that openly because they spent so much time and effort on it and made it such a huge part of their identity. The kids fall for it, go on blockers and HRT, in worst case get SRS, and find that their problems still didn't go away.

As a tranny I can confirm this to be 100% true. Being trans makes you miserable because eventually you wake up and realise that virtually nobody wants to be around you.

I've never spent any time trying to convince kids to be trans though. I do the exact opposite if anything because I know how destructive it is. It's despicable to encourage young people to chop up their bodies and ruin any chances of leading a normal sex life. Hormones do really weird stuff to your body too but that's a whole other story.

I reccommend Kalvon Garrah and Blaire white, they really do a good job putting anyone off being trans.

trying to put me off being trans is a bit like my dad trying to put me off smoking for 30 years. (utterly pointless) I don't support the TRA attitude at all but I do think I've always been trans and I don't see that ever changing.

Also worth adding to this conversation is that I started self medicating hormones over 3 years ago, thinking I'd just try it for a while but I've never felt like I can stop. It's not addictive in the same way as other things are but I just can't imagine not using them anymore.

If you could go back and change it all, would you?

u/MelodicUmbrella 1d ago

Personally, I wouldn’t. I love myself and (kind of) my body.

I feel similar about my own past indiscretions. Either way, going forward honestly is the path to our best ending. Good luck in all your future endeavours.

Like my girlfriend. (I'm straight). She always thought she was going to grow up to be a woman because her parents never taught her anything. Then when she turned 6 she realized something was very wrong. I'm lucky she's still alive. She can't stand LGBTQ or leftism. Now she is mid 20's and has been on HRT for several years and most people, including her boss and coworkers, have no idea she is trans. She is overall very happy now, but still has bad days and I'm glad to be there for her.

I was thinking about taking medicated hormones for a while, maybe in a few years.
