“Transphobes don’t know how fucking weird they sound to everyone else”


A surprisingly interesting read (ignore the group name – it sounds somewhat racist but I see only the opposite of this in the comments).

On social media, there are so many pile-ons of pure hate that it is refreshing to be reminded that this is just a vocal minority (many of whom seem to be paid trolls/bots from what I can see).

Out in society there are lots of rational thoughtful and inclusive people. There are a lot of very interesting and very supportive comments in this thread and I’ve not found any unpleasant ones yet. I’ve not expanded every single sub-thread, however I’d be surprised to find anything particularly nasty given what I’ve seen so far.

See it here on Reddit.

It’s almost like the whipping up of transphobia is a deliberate thing.

Hold on, what am I talking about – there’s no “almost” about it, sadly 😬

As a small post script I cannot resist adding this little snippet of transphobic engagement.
