Idk what trans women you have met but conservative views are extremely unpopular in the entirety of the transgender community.

i've had the opposite experience from living 15 years in the san francisco bay area.

Queer people are significantly less likely to be conservative than cisgender heterosexual people.

lgbtqa+ as a whole yes; but less so from the "t" part

I also have no clue why you describe trans women that way. “t-female-presenting people”. You can just call us trans women, or transfeminine people if you’re including feminine non-binary people as well.

i was corrected several times in the past when i said trans women or trans girl from trans-female-presenting people.

What are you on about 😭

I think this is more of a reflection of the circles you have been in, than the trans community at large. I have never seen a trans person wanting to be called "trans-female-presenting". That's some shit that conservatives say, a roundabout way of denying the identity.

i said the something similar and i was repeatedly assured that it was right; the fragmentation of between generations that don't use social media and those who do seem clearly pronounced.

Trans women or trans feminine people is fine. The other way you've been seemingly corrected towards is reminiscent of "TIM" and "TIF" which are two transphobic terms meant to invalidate trans people.

Your little "less so from the T part" belies something of your beliefs here. You also, again, have no clue what you're talking about. Living in a particular area does not instill in you broad understandings of the sociopolitical beliefs of some demographic. Just that the people you've met in that area have, in your perception, been more likely to hold those views.

Does not pan out in reality. I have a feeling I know how you're going to respond to this. I'd love to see you prove that inkling wrong.

i've also heard trans feminine before; but i was slapped for using trans women

the pot calling the kettle black takes on new meaning when you take such an aggressive position against someone who is part of the same community and also when you do as i did and let your experience inform your opinion.
