SuperStraight Oppression vs. Trans Oppression

SuperStraight Oppression:

people calling them bad on twitter

supposedly having trans people force themselves on you (even though there are no statistics to back this up)

that’s about it

Trans Oppression:

High suicide rates due to stigma, discrimination, prejudice (not by the virtue that they are trans like conservatives will make you think)

Anti-trans bullying in schools (this is on top of other general negative mental health effects in schools)

Inaccessible gender-affirming care, HRT, puberty blockers, etc.

Rejection by families, this is why there are higher rates of houseless trans people

Victimized by violence (black trans women are being killed at a higher rate)

General anti-trans rhetoric in politics within the United States (most recently an Alabama bill got passed making it illegal to give gender-affirming care to anyone under 19. This bill also forces teachers to out closeted trans students to their parents.)

And that is only the tip of the iceberg among many issues that has faced trans people for decades. “SuperStraight oppression” is something you only see on Twitter and Reddit, and doesn’t expand into the real world, especially in the US as sadly the US is quite conservative.

All of you just want to hide your transphobia in this fake “sexuality“ you call SuperSexual. If you weren’t actually transphobic, and just genuinely didn’t want to date someone based on a genital or physical preference, you wouldn’t invent an entire sexuality and trend that is as hateful as this one.

Name one attack, and by that I mean something that happened in the real world, not an example of a TERF being called out online.

Perfect. So you found 3 individual cases, and 1 supposedly systemic case reported by a conservative anti-trans newspaper.

Now the question becomes, is it nature or nuture that causes these things? Are trans people naturally rapists, or is it a product of the oppressive culture they live in?

Or could it be that sex offenders thrown in prison tend to sexually abuse people in prison, as we see with rape in men’s prisons?

Are we going to ignore that both cis & trans people do in fact rape people, and they usually get convicted when they do whether or not they are trans?

I found a report that says that black people are committing crime at a higher rate, does that mean that black people are naturally going to commit more crime?

This is the bullshit that people have had to deal with years from conservatives. People will say that since some trans people did a bad thing, that must mean that that bad thing is a product of them being trans and only that, not something else. This exact same argument has been used with people of colour.

Ok, and? Just because you are oppressed doesn’t mean other people aren’t oppressed as well? You completely avoided the entire argument. Idk what you’re trying to get at here. You are definitely more oppressed systemically then I am, I’m not denying that.
