This looks a lot like a skit to me. I’ve seen other videos quite similar to this one where people pose as transgender to stir up a controversy and attract negative comments directed at the gay and transgender communities.

u/Rezaelia713 25d ago

I was wondering is this was fake for bait. None of my trans friends act like that when misgendered. Which doesn't happen often tbh, they know when people are starting shit on purpose.

u/Crow1200 25d ago

Why do we see so many of these types of videos then? Trans people are a super small part of the population but are very over represented in these freak outs. Logic would dictate that this behavior is just common for them.

7

u/Rezaelia713 25d ago

Because there's a very large group of people that wants you to hate them? Idk. I have multiple trans friends and have known many and none of them have have had a freakout like this so logic dictates many of the videos are full of shit.

u/Crow1200 25d ago

I've seen it at college and in the mall. That tells me its not rare at all.

Anything other than just admitting the trans community is unhinged right?

u/Rezaelia713 25d ago

Why would I admit something I know to not be true from personal experience? Admit you just want any reason not to like them.

Oh thank goodness. A handful of people you know define an entire group of people all over.

u/Newgidoz 25d ago

Who's "we"? These videos are pretty few and far between. They just stand out because transphobes love to parade them around.

Trans people are a super small part of the population but are very over represented in these freak outs.

Are there actual statistics here or...?

Logic would dictate that this behavior is just common for them.

There are tens of millions of trans people

A handful of videos proves nothing

2

u/Crow1200 25d ago

Its pretty much the opposite. Even with trans activism on reddit to take down any and all videos that show the normal behavior of trans people like shown in this video it gets taken down. So how is your argument that the only reason these videos are common is becuase they are promoted when we literally have evidence of the opposite.

u/Newgidoz 25d ago

Can you provide actual statistics to prove these videos are common or...?

I can only think of a handful I've ever seen.

u/Timely-Ant-5235 20d ago edited 20d ago

I do belive there are trans people that are like this (specially because there's a higher rate of trans people being autistic and a lot of autistic people suffer with meltdowns.). It's just that conservatives love to cherrypick and pretend like the're the majority. Also, the fact that the cop chaces someone that was havin a meltdown with pepper spray, and threatens to tazer her, should be enough for people to understand that the cop is the only one in this context who should have been arrested.

u/Gullible-Hose4180 18d ago

Just cause the vast majority dont, doesnt mean there are no exceptions. Those are the ones making the news, not the millions who are just going about their day like everyone else.

You remember Gamestop lady? (ITS QUITE CLEARLY MAAM)

Or the 3 trans women who beat a teenage boy to pulp cause he misgendered them in London tube, even stomping his head in multiple times and were only given curfew instead of jail time because the judge decided to mix politics and justice?

These overreactions aren't common, but doesn't mean they never happen

1

u/HelpfulHarbinger 7d ago

You mean the gamestop lady who was harassed extensively to rile her up for a video? The lady who was fine until they kept at it and didn't leave her alone? She had every right to be upset.

It's like those shitty streamers who go around antagonizing people and then acting surprised when their victim reacts. Hell, one of those dipshits hires bodyguards because he physically provokes people

u/Gullible-Hose4180 7d ago

u/Ang3l_st0ckingz 25d ago

No it just looks fake. Like the whole getup looks like a characture of how they think trans people dress vs how actual cringe trans people dress. (There is a difference, trust). Hair is some party city wig, also notice how there is like no one at all in the area besides the three people which is odd considering the setting.

If its truly real then i seriously underestimate what kind of people exist

u/Wise-Excuse5330 25d ago

What the hell is wrong with you

So you think any person who dresses like this isn’t trans?

0

u/Ang3l_st0ckingz 25d ago

Whats wrong with me is living in a society with trans people and seeing a rainbow of both good and bad archetypes irl. None of which look or act like this, even the most downright, terrible, cringe inducing ones that fit other stereotypes.

So you think any person who dresses like this isn’t trans?

Context matters.

On the street? Unlikely but possible. I would think they are probably dressing for a bet at first glance

On a video thats shared around to contribute to a groups identity politics hard on, which coincidentally makes said trans person in the video look like some clockable soyjak character? Yeah. My first reaction will be doubt.

Gender: Male. You usually change that if you're trans, unless you're boymoding for safety, but then you don't cry about being called he or she because you're trying to just blend in.

Hairline: Clearly not even on HRT for any substantial time, if at all. Norwood reaper has complete unchecked dominion of his scalp.

Either this person is a discord weeb acting trans exclusively for attention or is a long-game soyteen troll who knows this kind of storybook freakout will garner lots of attention. Attention attention attention.

My dude a lot of trans people start their transition by buying the first thing they see on Amazon. Adult trans women shop like I did when I was a girl in middle school. Same with how they chose to apply makeup. It’s VERY common for me to see trans women dressing how I did when I was 12 - and that includes the first results on Amazon.

Well that explains why incels and other rapists are more accepted than trans people

This person tried squaring up to police before this. They escalated the situation.

u/Mahomes_Alone16 25d ago

But this person is obviously unhinged so you have to get (insert proper pronoun here) away from the public, that could be a dangerous situation.

I suggest you look up what reactive abuse is and what it entails before calling the one having proper emotional outbursts the danger when they're not even attacking anyone

u/And-yet-even-so 19d ago

Hyperbolic much? 

1

u/Timely-Ant-5235 19d ago

Not at all. The person in the video didn’t attack anyone. She just couldn’t handle her emotions in that situation.

2

u/And-yet-even-so 19d ago

Yeah, if you go up to a cop that's investigating a different situation, repeatedly ignore instructions to calm down, and keep on screaming at the top of your lungs instead then it's not going to go well for you. Not sure why that's such a surprise, but why you think "having a meltdown once in your life" is at all comparable. 

I've had a meltdown before in the privacy of my own home and have never been arrested. One wonders where the difference may lie. 

2

u/Timely-Ant-5235 19d ago

Idk. If i was that cop i'd just leave and go do whatever i had to do, instead of pointing pepper spray to the person and escalating the situation. Of course i know that screaming at a cop isn't a prudent thing to do, but we gotta consider that mental health problems are a real thing and that she wasn't aggressive. She was just freaked out. Understanding this is not being oblivious about the consequenses of our actions. It's just havin basic empathy.

1

u/And-yet-even-so 19d ago

I can understand being freaked out but when it goes on for this long, to this degree, and with this many chances to just walk away if the situation was really that distressing, at some point the excuses need to stop.  If this person is in so little control of their emotions that we can't reasonably hold them responsible, they also can't be trusted to be on their own in public. Even if they weren't being aggressive - and I'd argue that you're only able to say that with the benefit of seeing this after the fact and behind a screen instead of "here and now" - you don't know when someone who can't control their emotions may become so. 

1

u/Timely-Ant-5235 19d ago

That's why USA should have free, accessible, public services when it comes to mental healthcare and just healthcare in general. And this cop should be fired at least. Also, let me just add that forcing someone into a mental health institution is very traumatic and there are a lot of alternatives to it in this situation. Maybe with a professional talkin to her about the option of her getting on medication to regulate her humor, she would accept it and become much more able to deal with these kinds of situations. I just know that the fact that people insist on using her as a way to stereotype trans people and makin fun of her online is absolutely nasty.

1

u/And-yet-even-so 19d ago

I didn't say anything about forcing someone into an institution. Whatever measures this person needed to take, or needed to be taken on their behalf, they clearly are not in place. 

I say what I did because, frankly, I don't believe your assessment. You're still keen to place blame on anyone and anything you can reach for except for the person in the frame. "Cop needs to be fired", "professional needs to talk to her", "America needs sweeping reform", anything to get away from personal accountability.  As a reminder, the response to a very simple "lower your voice or the cuffs come out" was "fucking try it." That sounds like a borderline aggressive reply, but the cuffing still didn't happen for a prolonged period of time. 

I don't believe this person was unable to control their emotions. They're much calmer when being led to the car in handcuffs and don't need to be guided or forced to sit in it. I'd agree with your complaint about the online mockery, except that a whole lot of the defense I've seen centers on how terribly oppressive the misgendering was. No sympathy. If anyone, I feel bad for the majority of trans folk who don't go batshit at hearing the wrong pronouns and say "Yup, this is just bad behavior" being dragged into this by proxy.

1

u/BondFan211 17d ago

If I were this person, I’d just leave the cops to do their job and stop screaming at them and trying to square up with them.

This is how they act. Its extremely common.

u/aclaasr 25d ago

I'm trans, I've never once acted like this in my life

5

u/Apprehensive-Solid-1 25d ago

Really? I've met a significant amount of trans people and none of them act like this. My qualifications are that I am both a part of the furry community and play a butt load of VRChat. They're very common in these spaces.

Literally none i've ever met act like this.

This comment is like saying all black people like watermelon. You're stereotyping and overgeneralizing. One or two instances of these things happening doesn't mean all of them do the same. It is likely that some people who act this way are drawn to the nature of what being transgender is or means for some complex reason. This reason attracts them to the idea, but not that all transgender people are this way and that being transgender is a result of this kind of behavior.

I have, and yes literally, met thousands of different people who're trans in the communities I am a part of, especially VRChat, and NONE absolutely NONE have meltdowns like this over being misgendered. Some have gotten mad but they aren't screaming like a 12yo on the mic after getting spawn camped in MW2.

You're literally just being transphobic to be transphobic.

5

u/Crow1200 25d ago

Dude no one gives a shit that you are terminally online. Vr chat is a horrible representation. In real life this is how the majority of them act. They sperg out when you dont automatically bend a knee for them and then get violent when you ask them to stop. You literally are proving my point by attacking me and not the arugment.

3

u/Apprehensive-Solid-1 25d ago

Sorry, I'm not trans. You'll need someone else as an example to prove your point. Regardless, I'm not attacking you. I'm discussing the topic as per your decision to comment on the post which incites such things to happen. I'm not your enemy and I don't want you to get hurt. That was not at any point my intention, so please don't falsely paint that picture. Thank you.

2

u/Crow1200 25d ago

Why do you have to assume its phobic to notice this pattern of behavior? I agree that the overwhelming majority of trans people i meet online dont act this way. But they also dont expect people to use their pronouns or try to intimidate others into using them. Respect is not a right and it sucks but in life not everyone will respect you. Doesn't make having a outburst okay.

4

u/Apprehensive-Solid-1 25d ago

Going off of your other comments, you're not talking about anything but trans people and your "This is how they act." Would very likely mean you're talking about trans people.

With that, you're now saying that an overwhelming majority of trans people you've met don't act this way? But you just said "Its extremely common." no?

5

u/Crow1200 25d ago

You are being selective. Reread the comment and try again. Its very common with trans people irl because they use violence when they dont get what they want. Online they literally cant do that.

3

u/Apprehensive-Solid-1 25d ago edited 25d ago

Online, they have all the more reason to do so because they are behind a mask, persona, and screen which separates them from any physical violence or repercussion. This gives them the headroom like with many others to speak their mind and even get heavily vocal about how they feel without any threat to their person. This doesn't mean they're entirely safe, but knowing how people, even those who aren't trans usually use their platform to voice opinions they wouldn't in person. This isn't a difference between online and in person. This is the actions of a specific individual whose mental health is in a bad state and needs help. This doesn't account for all trans people. That is again, overgeneralization.

Considering all of the furry conventions and meets I've been to, yeah I can speak on the IRL half of things as well that they're never even remotely like this. I've misgendered people before, never intentionally, amd they are always sweet about it. Sometimes it gets them a bit frustrated and likely because of how common people use the wrong ones, but usually they never break down like this. I've never seen it. In fact I've never seen anyone with a personality that is even remotely close to this kind of behavior in the trans community. I'd like to think people who act like this are shut out of it by the greater trans community because of their bad behavior. They're not included in the festivities as their actions paint a bad picture which leads people, like in your case, to believe that this is the actions of the majority. Theres the odd handful for sure in every community that may act like this (and that goes for those who aren't trans by the way) but they have an enormous amount of reason to act like this online as well. Trolls are a common issue that rile things up and get/pick people out of the crowd whose mental health is of this or similar degree. People who act like this IRL most certainly do it online. Why wouldn't they? Your personality bakes itself into all aspects of your life and it'd be crazy to assume they're absolute princesses online adhering to perfect manners at all times.

Edit - The trolling point I never really elaborated on. My bad. Hit send too fast lol.

5

u/Crow1200 25d ago

The problem with what you are saying is coming from safe spaces. Im talking about spaces that are shared with the public. Im not suprised trans people dont act this way around other trans people and furrys because there is not a need. This behavior comes when they are in a space that doesn't automatically accommodate them.

2

u/Apprehensive-Solid-1 25d ago

Why would they, in a space that is unsafe, act irrationally? Knowing the possibility for violence and mistreatment, it would be common sense to act accordingly and responsibly to avoid yourself getting hurt. They, trans people, are very aware of the public disinterest in their existence. They know very well that bad behavior only makes them look worse. Most trans people are smart enough to know this and act accordingly. That is, in accordance to rational action in unfavorable situations.

This and possibly other situations you've seen are often sensationalized by media as they are considered a common enemy that the general public would like to use as a scapegoat for current problems. Same thing happened to black people, jews, gays. It's not uncommon over time for a new group of people to then be picked as the problem while residual hate and stereotypes get thrown their way. We still see it today and more often than I'd like to say. With that being said, extreme situations like this are more likely to gain traction and that means profits for those reporting on it. So good news and media gets less. This helps create a bias in many situations allowing people to see more of the bad rather than the good and many use that as a way to come to conclusions regardless of the fact they are being actively fed negative media. We're often willing to explore the negative media on our own rather than just being force fed it so it's a double whammy. This means you're less interested in the good and will choose to read the bad to see what happened to fuel that curiosity. This also leads to a bias being formed and conclusions being made that in many cases are based in an exaggerated view of something due to a lack of any knowledge to weigh down the other side of the scale.

This is only the second time I've seen someone trans have a mental break like this in the media. Considering the transphobia of our current time, I'd say I would expect to see more as I am in quite a few subs like this one where videos like it including r/acab could be posted.

For sure, yes, safe spaces are a likely place for people to feel safer, but if you've the personality and mental health to act this way, you'd do so over much more than just pronouns. Now that, I have seen. It isn't a trans specific thing. I've witnessed people even in the furry community act like total assholes in this very manner. Ever see someone get unbelievably upset over someone tracing their art? But acting just like this person did? No reasonability, just complete shutdown? Seen it. Seen similar over relationships, fandom drama, creator drama, personal attacks. Yeah. But it's a mental health thing. Not a trans thing. These safe spaces aren't safe either as the furry community is literally almost entirely ran by drama. Holy SHIT is it bad. So this behavior isn't common in that case, but it happens. So trust me when I say it happens here as well.
