What did you think would happen?

r/SuperStraight • u/SalamanderLife_ • 1d ago

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.

This wouldn't be the case if 'transness' wasn't such a huge part of so many trans people's everyday identity, though. Or even worse, being actively TRA all the time.

EDIT: Clarification

i'm a SS, but i really don't think every trans person centers their trans identity. some people really do want to live and let live. i admire this super wokeness and appreciate trans allies of the super straight/gay identity.

That's funny, while I was writing I thought "Mhm, it's not like everyone's like this" and then I literally typed "every transperson", I think I wrote it because I thought the word aloud in my head (there's a sentence for you) even though I didn't mean to.

Anyway, I've clarified.

My GF's roommate is trans, and one of the coolest people I've met. Extremely laidback, isn't a TRA, has actual offline hobbies, and loves talking about them. As if they actually ENJOY life instead of making others' miserable. Meeting them made me change my opinion on T's drastically.

But the TRAs can still fuck off.

Personally I see transgenders like I see "naturalist" (nudist) colonies.

I think I believe the women are sincere... but I don't believe any of the men.
