Except I’ve been personally assaulted, threaten, and attached by trans people and their rabid allies for suggested trans people are just people and they don’t need special treatment. In person. In real life. i’ve been screamed at my face and threated with violence for not ‘using the right pronoun’, even after i asked them what pronoun they wanted and use it…

I live in a progressive area. Trans people here have it good. But a lot of them refuse to accept that… they want to abolish sex/gender entirely and become physically violent towards anyone who says ‘maybe you should chill and just enjoy your life’ or dates to accidentally ‘misgender’ them. They are the bullies and bigots here.

I’m glad you’ve never been personally attacked and harassed. I’ve had trans folks literally verbally assault me for waiting for coffee because I ‘look too straight’ whatever the fuck that means. multiple times over the past three years especially. Literally had some trans guy scream in my face on the subway yesterday while I was sitting in the corner minding my business and him going on and on about ‘don’t you like my beautiful care I’m a lady now why dont’ you want me i know you want me because you’re a removed i can tell because you have nice boots you take it in the ass.’ And I’m sitting there just ignoring them because I don’t want to engage some mentally ill psycho.

Just because you’re trans or leftist, doesn’t give you the right to assault and harass other people. Most of the democratic party pols are pro-trans agenda. And the ones who dare speak out against it and say stuff like 'maybe men shouldn’t be in women’s sports, or ‘maybe we should have 3 kinds of bathrooms’ get attacked mercilessly and called bigots and hateful by the nutbags. Every moderate democrat who speaks out on the issue gets attacked, despite having popular support because they expressing a more common sense approach instead of a ‘trans people should have no rules or restrictions on them that the rest of us cis people deal with’.

I don’t care about anyone being trans. But I care about insane people using their trans identity to abuse and harass other people, to file lawsuits and etc all because they feel they need to be treated differently than everyone else. Like you want gender affirming care? cool, but don’t give 12 year olds puberty blockers. 12 year olds have no idea who or what they are. let them figure it out when they are young adults like the rest of us. Just like we shouldn’t allow 12 year olds to get plastic surgery or tattoos or any of that type of body modfication

but any complexity or nuance on this issue gets the pro-trans extremists calling anyone a bigot. people should be allowed to be critical of these things. discussion and debate should be allowed to happen without the threat of violence and harassment from the pro-trans people or the anti-trans people.

funny how i’ve never seen a pro-trans person irl on online every have a good discussion of these issues… they just resort to insults and harassment and refuse to acknowledge anyone else’s concerns or questions. it’s almost as if they are just as ignorant and hateful on these things as someone who is anti-trans. and it’s not so much about trans people… as it is about their little culture war bullshit.

ironically when i see trans people discuss some of these things… who dont’ have an agenda… they are a lot more moderate on ‘trans issues’. probably because they are just a person and not some ideologue using trans people as a prop to further their political agenda.
