All of these guys tend to be younger, it seems to be a new trend cause we didn’t have issues like this 10 years ago. They’ll come in, talk only to other gay guys, and exclude women (incl trans women) from all conversations to the point it becomes very awkward. This has happened 3 times in the past 2 years or so. We had an event recently and we had a handful of trans people show up. I tried to talk to everyone to just say hi (I’m the organizer after all) and the guy just stared at me?? Then one of the sweetest trans ladies there talked to me about how she was trying to get contact details for people so we could, y’know, be a community, and the guy apparently told her that all of his chats and local groups for trans men were men only and that they had so many issues with trans women trying to make LGBT spaces all about them so they only let trans men in. She was just looking for people to hang out with! The lack of solidarity here was shocking to me.
Maybe it’s some social media thing? Over compensation? Idfk. Shits getting weird.
you are one of the only people I see getting away with attacking trans people on this site, Im transfemme and I don’t think Athena5898 is attacking me
What odd wording when what Serial (and I) feel attacked by is specifically the stuff about our binary identities as women. Usually I associate transfemme with NBs.
They are outright saying that trans people should not be treated like cis people of the same gender. How much more open does the transphobia has to be so you get it?
Noted. I’d rather not go down this road with you, so good luck with whatever this is
