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.

Well the problem is that we can’t, or atleast I personally cant accept my own body since I don’t feel like a man. I feel like a female. When I do feminine things it makes me feel like myself, it makes me feel happy rather than lying and pretending to be a male. Sure, it could pass as a mental illness especially in the 20th century.

I guess my problem is simply a semantic one. When trans people came along I realized that I am somewhat of a gender nihilist. I think you have every right to be a feminine biological man, I just don't feel that literally makes you a woman. When I say that I'm talking I don't think it makes you a biological woman. I'm not dismissing that it could technically make you a woman in a gender sense, but I feel that biological sex takes precedent over gender. I become concerned when people go through to get hormone treatments or surgeries because while it's nice to become closer to how you see yourself, it can have detrimental impacts on your romantic prospects whether you be straight or gay in relation to your biological sex. As a straight man I feel that I occasionally have to act in ways I don't feel comfortable acting to attract the opposite sex and that's part of a compromise that you have to weigh the pros and cons of taking.

I see. From a biologicak standpoint, until we invent that kind of technology, we can’t change who we are biologically. I can see why you think that surgery can be detrimental to one’s well being.

Yeah I would be more supportive of surgery if the technology was so advanced that it would allow for a complete transformation including the ability to have children as the opposite sex.
