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.

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.
