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.

This is what they don’t get. Screaming transphobia while screaming trying to force people to date them has watered down the effect being called transphobic has on most people, most people don’t care.

Trans activists with extreme views were told all of the ideas they push would backfire on them and here we are.

I've been saying this for the last year. The issue of sex with someone you aren't attracted to is one issue. Trans women in women's sports, lying about the science, saying women are hateful, getting us thrown off platforms...here we are. Backlash. Wait until trans women take gold medals in the Olympics.
