Edit I'm just gonna delete this soon. I posted it and made most of my comments while angry and looking for blood. yea a lot of cringe stuff got said on that post but I don't think my post is contributing anything to the sub other than anger, and possibly driving people away. Sorry to the people I snapped at, I hope yall have a good night🐕
The comments are full of people saying transphobic shit and op doubling down on his "making your trans partner feel dysphoric is fine" shit. He'll that pic was a re-upload from one of the mods here. What the fuck!!!! This is fucking 196 why are we out here defending blatant transphobia? People are in there calling trans people karens with a persecution complex, there's tons of defense of treating trans men like shit, "allies" telling trans people they're overreacting, all kinds of inexcusable shit. If this is how lemmy 196 is gonna be I hope this place crashes and burns
There's nothing wrong with just having those kinds of preferences, or with saying you have them in the right context, which this is. Op didn't do that though. He would totally date a trans guy, he just says he'd hate it and would try to make his bf feel dysphoric. Having a problem with that doesn't mean I'm a Karen or have a chip on my shoulder or any of that shit, I just like when people show basic fucking respect towards trans people and this "ally" doesn't seem to have any. He cares more about having trans friends and saying he's an ally than about listening to trans people and actually being one. He's prob a chaser tbh
That's not what they said, though...? They were asked if they would date a trans guy, and they answered the question presumably honestly (that they would if they were pre-op), but then went on to say that they don't like penises and do like breasts, and that that would likely make a trans guy uncomfortable.
