Interesting how there's more hate for MtF than FtM

[-] jayk@lemmy.ca 49 points 2 months ago

I think this is a form of misogyny. FtM aren't taken seriously because they're seen as confused women

[-] bl_r@lemmy.dbzer0.com 31 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

I think its specifically the “women are precious and fragile and need to be protected” form of misogyny, since it explains both hatred towards MtF and the ignoring of FtM

::: spolier cw transphobia As you said, FtM folks are disregarded as confused and mistaken and needing help, needing saving from “gender ideology” and MtF folks are predators, attacking women in bathrooms, and the women must be protected from them. :::

You need the content to be on separate lines from the start tag and the end tag, like so:

You're spot on otherwise

[-] octopus_ink@lemmy.ml 12 points 2 months ago

My personal theory on this (with absolutely no negativity directed at anyone at all, and a willingness to be shown I'm wrong) is that FtM pass unnoticed more easily in many scenarios.

[-] Soup@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

Makes sense. A women wearing pants is pretty par for the course and anyone else they’d just call a butch lesbian and, more or less, move on.

[-] Overconfidentiality 3 points 2 months ago

I suspect you're correct. I'm super jealous as MTF, just on the part of male puberty naturally deepening the voice, wish it worked the other way too.

[-] HappySkullsplitter@lemmy.world 8 points 1 month ago

Because it's just bullshit

It would have to be explained to them that if they're afraid of penises in women's restrooms then they should be equally afraid for the vaginas in male restrooms

Now the misogyny becomes misandry, which just falls apart because it is neither. It is just hate in the form if projecting their own insecurities for their own political gain.

There is no reason for people to suffer because of someone else's insecurities.

Especially when those people are suffering just to serve as a political distraction.

A political distraction that exploits both the trans community and voters by fomenting anti-trans sentiment

It’s more just misogyny for us. They don’t see as actual threats, more like confused tomboys. The angle I think they’re working on for us is mental health and concerns about our reproductive capabilities. We are of course “mutilating” our bodies. I could see them banning testosterone treatment because it can harm embryos.

The trans woman they want to kill, the trans men they want to quietly stick in asylums (and maybe kill. maybe just rape)

[-] franklin@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago

I mean they can both take my number.

[-] pointnull@lemmy.world 31 points 2 months ago

How come people are more worried about who's fucking who? I mean they're adults and there is consent so tf is ur problem ?

[-] frunch@lemmy.world 15 points 2 months ago

But you forget: Jesus

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[-] pointnull@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

I wish Christians would just ignore the homophobic verses.

[-] expatriado@lemmy.world 7 points 2 months ago

ignore the verses that somehow makes you feel superior? that's the how point of going to church

[-] photonic_sorcerer@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 points 2 months ago

You must understand: I can't be happy unless everyone thinks exactly like I do.

[-] MountingSuspicion@reddthat.com 2 points 1 month ago

Unironically me, but as a leftist 😭

Literally will not be happy until everyone is chill with queers and unchill with nazis.

Then you have doomed yourself to unhappiness.

[-] kipo@lemm.ee 4 points 1 month ago

Them: Trans people are icky. Kill them all.

That's the whole thing. It doesn't matter that trans people aren't mentioned in the bible. It doesn't matter that the medical science supports gender-affirming and transition-related care. It doesn't matter that trans people almost never have an actual advantage in sports. It doesn't matter that being trans is not a 'social contagion'. It doesn't matter that trans people aren't hurting anyone.

They want to eliminate all trans people. A Montana republican just put up a bill to ban adult trans medical care. That's trans genocide. Trump banning trans youth care nation-wide is trans genocide.

Republicans are fucking Nazis. Straight up.

[-] technocrit@lemmy.dbzer0.com 18 points 2 months ago

Gotta realize that nazis copied from USA, not the other way around.

[-] PM_Your_Nudes_Please@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago

Yeah, that’s something that most history books tend to bury; Before the attack on Pearl Harbor, America had a very active nazi support network. There were pro-nazi rallies in America. There’s a reason America wasn’t getting directly involved in the war, and was only doing the Lend-Lease program to help (profit from) the Allies.

[-] moonbunny@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 month ago

Not only that, but I believe Hitler got the concentration camp model from the Native American reservation setup that the US had setup when manifest destiny was in vogue Relevant article

[-] Gork@lemm.ee 9 points 2 months ago

Always trying to distract us with the culture war. The real war is the erosion of democracy and replacement with Authoritarianism. It's happening right before our very eyes.

[-] whostosay@lemmy.world 8 points 2 months ago

But wait, fox news never told you to be mad about that?

You're supposed to be mad that people are doing what makes them happy and it not affecting your life whatsoever.

[-] avidamoeba@lemmy.ca 4 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

They were born this way.

::: spoiler /s This is a joke in the context of the joke, obviously one is innate and the other isn't.
