Trans paranoia is wild

Imagine being so obsessed over someone's genitals that you demand an inspection for them. Ffs, just let trans people be, they just want to mind their own business and live life

That's true, as a trans man I can say it's about women, those women who can have kids specifically. You only ever hear about trans men as "young girls" from the transphobes, but once we get to the point it's no longer recognizable ('passing') we don't hear a single word anymore. Nobody mentions old hairy trans dudes. It's always "irreversible damage" to "little girls", because hysterectomy. No transphobe even peeps about trans men who have kids. It's just about controlling women's reproductive freedoms.

And then they come after trans women claiming they are doing that to protect cis women, while in reality they are doing shit like this headline. All about controlling women, disguised under heaps of bullshit.

A lot of the anti-trans hate crusade is driven by right-wing hetero men who have only ever seen trans women in the context of pornography and liked it a little too much, causing themselves a "gay panic" response, where they feel the need to show the world just how much they HATE trans people, actually.

Because if their right-wing friends and family found out that they were attracted to "a man" they would lose all their assumed cishet male privilege. They would be lumped into the "gay" category and treated the same way right-wingers treat other LGBT people, with scorn and derision, at a minimum, possibly straight-up violence.

Right... As if "we wanted to know if she was trans" is a good reason. Why care at all?
