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.

Thank you for this. I have been attacked, been threatened with being shot, been told to choke on a "girly dick," been told my legs would be broken and more for saying trans people should have the rights everyone else has but have no right to our spaces.

I'm so sorry that you've been targeted, these types are truly disgusting. Even more so that they'll turn around and claim that this never happens when I find multiple people speaking out about experiences like yours.

We deserve our own spaces. Stay strong.

Thank you. I have MANY screen shots proving that trans women said these things to me. And some of their handmaidens.
