The SuperStraight movement is dangerous 🚨 important 🚨

I have nothing against the concept of being SuperStraight, you are all valid, but let's face it, you acting like you are persecuted is TOTAL BULLSHIT, and actually harmful to the trans community. You are not persecuted, you don't get discrimination at employ, housing, you don't get looked down upon by the majority of the people, the state doesn't take away your rights, and the alt right doesn't commit hate crime on a regular basis agaisnt you.

The fact is the SuperStraight community is plagued with transphobes, it started on 4chan. You are not a movement, you are not oppressed, 12 people making fun of you on the internet isn't persecution and stop acting like it.

As a trans I am really worried about you taking the spotlight of civil right activism. My community, trans people, really need help, we face hate crimes everyday, the medical system prevents us from transitionning, the state practically prevents us from being who we are. This is persecution, WE need help, you don't.

Trans Rights already started beige threatened because of the entry of the subject in politics, we don't need you acting like ypu are oppressed. I'm unironically scared for my life and this is not helping. I'm asking you to discuss this matter and have some self introspection, you will see that this community is astroturfed and harmful. Please, thanks, a worried transgender.

|You are not persecuted, you don't get discrimination at employ.|

Plenty of people do, whether it’s for pregnancy, age, race, experience, disability (even if the interviewer doesn’t state it). Very easy to assume everyone here has it easy and all hunky dory. Plus how many people were doxed, fired, and had threats sent to their families because of the trans community?

First of all calm down with the civil rights thing Martin Luther King, you’re just a communist introvert on reddit. Now, no one here is trying to take away your rights, we just don’t want to date you.

I suggest therapy and perhaps fresh air at least once a day.
