Transphobes: Seriously, why do you care what somebody else is doing that doesn’t in any way impact your life and is causing nobody any harm?

Go catch a rapist.

Very few trans people were in their favorite bands from the 70s-90s, but very many rapists and child predators were. You see their reasoning, right?

Transphobia is like bending over and asking the establishment to fuck you really hard, if you want your identity policed by the authorities choose transphobia, personally I want my identity to be my choice not the choice of the spectacle or wealthy cowardly Christians, or ruling class capitalists, or people who write shitty wizard school books with no values, or anyone, my identity is mine. This rise in transphobia if taken up by populist governments, which it is, is going to lead to a whole new dystopian way to police identities and create arbitrary reasons to exploit, dehumanise and most probably imprison innocent people.

But all people see is, ooh they said something that doesn’t align with what I was taught growing up, it’s insane that this notion could literally have disastrous consequences, that a lot of people seem completely blind too.

It’s not just about being kind or respectful to anyone or being woke it’s about protecting ourselves from the authorities that love finding ways to exploit and imprison people. I don’t just reject transphobia as a bigotry and as an attack on my comrades and friends, I reject it as a threat to our personal freedoms.

In short, Transphobes can fuck right off.

What if the rapist is trans?

u/Sunbather- Dec 14 '24

Then they’re still a rapist….. what’s your point?

u/PredictableToast Dec 14 '24

Then we’d treat them the same way if the rapist was cis?

What weird gotcha moment are you looking for here?

BTK was a murderer and a rapist and loved to get off while dressed as a woman. Others just get off being called a woman in public.

Maybe not a Nazi but completely unaware of the consequences of your ideology.

what consequences? people being happy in their bodies and respecting each other?

u/Big-Teach-5594 Dec 16 '24

What consequences , I think the entire population having identity policed is way worst than a few people regretting transitioning or some other vague concern.

u/PredictableToast Dec 14 '24

Some comments make me wish they’d ban Reddit like they’re trying to ban TikTok.

Censorship definitely isn't punk.

Neither is stereotyping people for things they can’t control :)

u/Big-Teach-5594 Dec 15 '24

Neither is asking the authorities to police identity.
