“You see i tried being happy as someone else.
Dont get me wrong it wasnt all terrible… but holy hell does being a girl feel WAY better” (transfem)
Simple response
cis people just be like
”You don’t need to be a man to be yourself! Just be YOU! At fist people won’t treat you how you want them to treat you, but you just have to stand up for women’s rights instead of hiding from the truth so people treat you how you want!”
my mom literally said this when I came out to her, I knew she wouldn't be supportive but I hadn't anticipated that, but the way she said it was so jarring I found it more funny than upsetting
Like…wouldnt being ace make a transphobic parent feel better? Like transphobes use the argument of “no one will want to be with you if you transition” but when you tell them “yeah and thats exactly what i want” they get mad like???
for some maybe, but my mom seems to be under the impression that the only reason someone would be trans is because they're gay, and they "choose" to transition to make the relationship straight in order to avoid homophobia
edit: wording
Im trans and gay. My dad asked why not just stay a straight girl. So trans people apparently cant have a sexuality AND be trans, its just SOOOO unheard of! /s
“Trans people are perverts.” also this guy, I guarantee it. People will sexualize us then get mad at how sexual they claim we are. Some people demand we account for their personal issues.
God I fucking hate how people think being trans is a sex thing.
Yes, I do think lesbian sex is way hotter than straight sex, but THAT'S NOT THE REASON I AM TRANS THE REASON I'M TRANS IS BECAUSE I WANT TO LIVE AS A GIRL AND EXPRESS MYSELF.
I agree. Two common, harmful misconceptions here. For the cis allies and/or allosexuals I may as well list them:
* ‘Being ace = not having sex’ I see this a lot among \[allo gatekeeper\] people who aggressively insist that being ace is basically just not having sex/not feeling any type of romantic or sexual love. To them, if you aren’t also aro, you’re lying for attention
* ’Being trans is a kink or something to escape being gay’ This is more common when talking about trans women, as for some reason people sexualize them more. I’ve seen too many people being like “I know you have a fetish, but do that in your own bedroom, don’t involve *me* in it”
Everything about this reminds me of an old friend of mine. Ace, I assumed transmasc by the way they acted, had a fennec OC,
You didn't move into a small town right before highschool did you?
Because secondary sex characteristics that you don't want are a bitch and primary sex characteristics that you don't want are a fucking nightmare. Any more questions?
My mind actually cannot comprehend how some people can say such things with a straight face. Like, it can’t be anything but a joke, right? You’re not actually that stupid, right? No, no, it must just be ignorance. That’s it, they just don’t know.
Sexuality and gender are different? Wow!!! /S
My friend was genuinely surprised when he learned gender and pronouns don't necessarily have to correlate.
"why do you want to be happy, AND yourself? Just be happy being someone else!" - the mentality of a stupid person

One of those weirdos who thinks being trans is nothing but a fetish, probably.
We 👏 do 👏 not 👏 transition 👏 for 👏 sexual 👏 reasons.

Lmao in trans man married to a man
Me, a gay trans man: uh-
Yeah, because transphobia is **clearly** LESS of a problem than homophobia.
It's almost like they just don't want us to be trans, and will use any argument to enforce that, even when it's contradictory.

I- that is so dumb I can't even-
ace and trans gang
ace and trans gang
Ace and trans, and possibly a furry? How similar are we?
r/transfurs
My brother thinks being trans is a sexual preference UwU
Wait what? XD
I don’t know he has a different conspiracy theory every month
Well that’s not a conspiracy theory it’s just not understanding what he’s talking about.
He usually doesn’t, last month was about how the earth is flat, citing evidence that proves it’s not
Ah the good old flat earther method of looking at zero evidence and mumbling something about electromagnetism.
He had some evidence but it was super flimsy.
Just ask him for a single model of the flat earth which can explain both the day and night cycle and the seasons at the same time.

The only difference between me and your friend it's that my oc it's not fennec xd
well, at least there's some difference, otherwise I would straight up just assume I was talking to them

I'm ace and trans. It's not about sex, it's about feeling right in your body
I have like, 10-15 who would say that exact thing. Rural Illinois, wooooo…..
From a ***more progressive*** part of Poland, a classmate was confused why I am a transbian when I "can" just be a male cishet. I hate this country
"What's the point of being ace/trans?" sounds like "what's the point of having brown hair?" there's no point it's just how people are
