Most people are transphobic.

Start with the fact that in 2020, 45 trans people were killed in the United States, most of them Black trans women. Worldwide, that number jumped to above 350 people.

Seventy percent of Republican parents say they’d be unhappy if their child’s spouse identified as transgender. That’s a mild statistic, so let’s jump to the fact that at least 28 Republican state legislatures pushed bills this year that would ban trans athletes from competing in high school sports, and ban trans children from receiving medical care.

But Republicans are the obvious culprits in American society’s hatred toward trans people. Let’s turn to the less obvious culprits.

If you think Democrats were angels, think again. About 30 percent of parents who identify as Democrats state they would be unhappy if their child’s spouse married a trans person. That poll was conducted by PRRI-Atlantic in February 2019, not 10 years ago, or five years ago, but just two years ago.

Migrate to Hillary Clinton’s offhanded remarks to Britain’s The Sunday Times that for trans people, “it’s going to take a lot more time and effort to understand what it means to be defining yourself differently.”

Move on to corporate CEOs, mainly white guys with a lot of ambition and agendas to push. Elon Musk tweeted “pronouns suck.” Even if there was not that much thought behind the tweet (at best), Musk still alienated all of the trans employees who actually work at Tesla or SpaceX.

And, of course, how could I write a piece about transphobia without mentioning JK Rowling, who famously stuck up for Donald Trump’s bigoted policies tweet after tweet, only to essentially state that trans women are not real women, and outline “five reasons for being worried about the new trans activism.”

Take a look at corporate America: big companies, with billions in revenue and company outings to Europe, love to post rainbow flags come June, but seemingly would never hire a trans woman in 1,000 years. If that trans woman doesn’t pass well, you can forget about her job prospects at a Fortune 500 company.

Certain statistics that are used to signal growing support for trans people, are actually quite dismal. Some like to tout the fact that 63 percent of the United States population wants trans people to serve in the military, as a positive statistic On the flip side, this still means that almost 4 out of 10 Americans don’t want trans people to serve in the armed forces, just because of their gender orientation.

That’s dangerously close to half of the American population that would deny a well meaning soldier from potentially sacrificing their life to serve this country. Why would you ever not want someone to give their life for your homeland when you wouldn’t give your life to begin with?

But what is most shocking, is the seamlessness in which almost half of all Americans would be uncomfortable with their own child being trans. According to PRRI, around 48 percent of Americans would be “uncomfortable” with their own child being trans. In the same poll, only 60 percent of Democrats would be “somewhat or very comfortable” with their child being trans. This means that 40 percent of polled Democrats would be overtly uncomfortable with their own child living their truth.

Then take a step back, and evaluate all of the day-to-day, quotidian occurrences that highlight how weird and transphobic the public is. I’m talking about small gestures, like when your boss would rather have you not use pronouns in email correspondence to clients. Or when That Guy You Went To High School With just loves tearing Caitlyn Jenner apart, uncontrollably, ferociously.

Or when your favorite buddy just loves Joe Rogan, who happens to go on regular tirades against trans athletes in his podcast. Or when you pray to God that a consulting firm you’re applying to actually doesn’t learn you are trans, so you can get the job. Or when you can’t find a priest for your Indian wedding.

I repeat: most people are transphobic.

Amazing typo. I’d be unhappy if my child’s spouse married anyone.

 

[Mealy Mouth Spittle]

Reality is transphobic. Biology isn't determined by feelings or altered by the self-identification of mentally ill, delusional people. Get over it.

For such a transphobic society, we sure do make a lot of concessions for them. Trannies are on the cover of the SI swimsuit edition and the cover of Vogue. They are allowed to compete at the Olympics in female events. Yeah, real oppressed that group. Guess they won't be satisfied until we are all begging to suck the lady dick.

"That’s dangerously close to half of the American population that would deny a well meaning soldier from potentially sacrificing their life to serve this country. Why would you ever not want someone to give their life for your homeland when you wouldn’t give your life to begin with?"

If they were REALLY transphobic wouldn't they want them to possibly die for their country? Doesn't make any sense.

Yeah, I'm not sure the whole "supporting them being cannon fodder" means you love trannies is a good argument.

Who supports mentally ill people being given weapons and put on the battle field? Just look at all the "It's ma'am" moments troons have. The last thing they need is a loaded gun. Plus, will troops have to take a break so a troon can dilate? Who's going to give them their HRT shots in the field? Will they be given a safe space to calm down if a fellow soldier misgenders them in the heat of battle?

 

[TowinKarz]

The beginning of this article is already gold

Less troons were killed WORLDWIDE last year than there are people living in my street. What a statistic

Also, further investigation into those numbers reveal the majority were deaths during high-risk activities like drug dealing and sex crimes, or literal random acts of violence that can and do strike anyone... only 1 or 2 of those cases were probably "genuine" trans motivated, the rest were as phobic as a car crash is racist if it kills a black person - we're really dealing with people here who don't understand the Universe doesn't give a shit about your precious labels and other self-awarded statuses. To them, there's no difference between the concept of dying because you fell down the stairs, and being pushed down the stairs so you'd die.

 

[DiggieSmalls]

When will whining about white people stop counting as a college education?

 

[Seven Costanza]

Why yes I do dislike delusional violent men. How can you tell?

 

[LurkNoMore]

I read the title and skipped over the article to say: GOOD!

Just 350? not thousands? Bruh, that's lame.

The world is not homo-\or transphobic. It's just any adequate man or woman is fed up with their shit alright and that's time to put these schizos on a leash.

This wording suggests that the number of trans supporters is growing when in fact, it used to be higher.
More people become "transphobic" as time goes on.

That poll was conducted by PRRI-Atlantic in February 2019, not 10 years ago, or five years ago, but just two years ago.

And if you conducted the poll right now, I can guarantee that the support would be less than 60%.
Personally, I can't wait until they do one of these polls and it turns out that 60% of people are anti-trans.
Politicians and corporations will be like: "OK, EVERYONE! PIVOT TURN!"
I give it 5 years max before that happens, then another 5 years to get all the troons out of positions of power and the 2030's will be a post-troon world.

 

[Quixotic Man]

I'm not scared of trans people, I just think they are delusional.

I humor them like I humor a 8 year old who tells me they are Batman.

Pretty much any drug or procedure will keep you out of the military. I know they've waived some of this but not all.

"Persons with artificial openings."
"Hermaphroditism."
"Major abnormalities and defects of the genitalia such as a change of sex. A history thereof or dysfunctional residuals from surgical correction of these conditions."
"Absence of both testicles, either congenital, or acquired, or unexplained absence of a testicle."
"Silicone breast implants, encapsulated if less than nine months since surgery or with symptomatic complications."
"Psychiatric care by a physician or other mental health professional for more than six months."
"Suicide, history of attempted or suicidal behavior."
"The causes for rejection for appointment, enlistment and induction are transsexualism, exhibitionism, transvestitism, voyeurism and other paraphilias."
"Presence of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV-I) or antibody."

Medical Conditions That Can Keep You from Joining the Military

These standards generally apply to all branches of the military. None of them are automatic disqualifiers, just red flags.

If I wanted to keep a troon out, I'd ask about a history of depression or anxiety.

around 48 percent of Americans would be “uncomfortable” with their own child being trans. In the same poll, only 60 percent of Democrats would be “somewhat or very comfortable” with their child being trans. This means that 40 percent of polled Democrats would be overtly uncomfortable with their own child living their truth.

Last I checked, feeling discomfort wasn't the same thing as hatred or even intolerance. In fact, being uncomfortable about things is one of the key components of life. If "uncomfortable" is the furthest down the negative emotion spectrum that the poll offered, then that poll is a failure.

 

[Sithis]

In my experience most people aren't afraid of troons, most people don't even hate the fact that they like to shout about their mental illnesses while pretending to be women - it's 110% because of their pretentious, holier than thou, condescending, ego whoring, shitheaded, wretched-ass behavior while they do it that brings so much hate. If troons would just knock off the ego tripping they would find a lot of people have been content to let them live their deranged lives on their own. But that's just it, live your shit on your own, and stop trying to muddy our waters with it.

 

[Captain Fitzbattleaxe]

About a million people in the US identity as trans (source: https://www.hli.org/resources/number-of-transgenders-in-the-united-states/). Which means that if 45 are murdered then that's a murder rate of 4.5 per 100k which is lower than the US murder rate of 5.3 per 100k. (source: https://worldpopulationreview.com/country-rankings/murder-rate-by-country)

Therefore trannies are actually more safe than the general population.

 

[Damocles_Sword]

The only people afraid of troons are their rape victims. Everyone else just mocks them. Also, 45 killed in the U.S. and the majority of those were black, probably prostitutes who surprised their black johns and got chimped out upon.

 

[Raisin Boy]

Most people are transphobic.

Okay, they're starting with a strong claim. Good. That will help us to understand why they're so upset.

... in 2020, 45 trans people were killed in the United States, most of them Black trans women. Worldwide, that number jumped to above 350 people. ...

That's not that many at all, and a significant number of those are almost certainly prostitutes. I agree, don't kill prostitutes.

Seventy percent of Republican parents say they’d be unhappy if their child’s spouse identified as transgender. ... at least 28 Republican state legislatures pushed bills this year that would ban trans athletes from competing in high school sports, and ban trans children from receiving medical care.

So far, most people are transphobic because murders occur, most but not all republicans would disapprove of their kids marrying a transperson, biological males might be disallowed from abusing girls in sports in some states, and it may become illegal to permanently fuck up a child's body with weirdo drug cocktails.

... About 30 percent of parents who identify as Democrats state they would be unhappy if their child’s spouse married a trans person. ...

Alright, add 'less than half of self-identified democrats wouldn't like their child marrying a transperson' to the tally.

Migrate to Hillary Clinton’s offhanded remarks to Britain’s The Sunday Times that for trans people, “it’s going to take a lot more time and effort to understand what it means to be defining yourself differently.”

... Elon Musk tweeted “pronouns suck.” ...

Most people are transphobic because Hillary is a ghoul and Musk is an autist, got it.

..., how could I write a piece about transphobia without mentioning JK Rowling, who famously stuck up for Donald Trump’s bigoted policies tweet after tweet, only to essentially state that trans women are not real women, and outline “five reasons for being worried about the new trans activism.”

Can't forget about Rowling, of course.

... big companies ... seemingly would never hire a trans woman in 1,000 years. If that trans woman doesn’t pass well, you can forget about her job prospects at a Fortune 500 company.

That's literally untrue, but whatever.

... Some like to tout the fact that 63 percent of the United States population wants trans people to serve in the military ... this still means that almost 4 out of 10 Americans don’t want trans people to serve in the armed forces ...

Not enough transgender drone pilots, check.

You should want your child to be trans, actually.

Then take a step back, and evaluate all of the day-to-day, quotidian occurrences that highlight how weird and transphobic the public is. I’m talking about small gestures, like when your boss would rather have you not use pronouns in email correspondence to clients. Or when That Guy You Went To High School With just loves tearing Caitlyn Jenner apart, uncontrollably, ferociously.

Okay, now they're just making shit up. It's the internet, just block people, fuck's up with you.

Or when your favorite buddy just loves Joe Rogan, who happens to go on regular tirades against trans athletes in his podcast. Or when you pray to God that a consulting firm you’re applying to actually doesn’t learn you are trans, so you can get the job. Or when you can’t find a priest for your Indian wedding.

I repeat: most people are transphobic.

Let's recap. Most people are transphobic because:
1. More than half of republicans and fewer than half of democrats don't want their children to marry a transperson.
2. A very small number of transpeople, like all people, are murdered.
3. Legislation might be signed to stop boys from demolishing girls in sports and children might not be allowed to take hormones.
4. Hillary Clinton, Elon Musk, JK Rowling, and Joe Rogan said things the author doesn't like.
5. More trans drone pilots and VA-funded neovaginas.
6. You might not get hired to a forward-facing position in a Fortune 500 company when you look like a refrigerator in a tacky sundress.
7. 48% of Americans wouldn't want their child to be trans. Can't imagine why not.
8. Miscellaneous.

Yeah, I don't know how they manage. When I think about the people who've got it the worst in society, I think about transpeople. Not children in poor families, not people with mental health issues that interfere in their lives, not the chronically ill, not the homeless, not addicts, not indigenous people, not the generationally poor, not the dispossessed in rural states where all the jobs have left, and again, not children -- it's the transpeople who are the primary victims in society. They face transphobia, after all.

Start with the fact that in 2020, 45 trans people were killed in the United States, most of them Black trans women. Worldwide, that number jumped to above 350 people.

Most of them are hookers killed by the Niggers they service.

Take a look at corporate America: big companies, with billions in revenue and company outings to Europe, love to post rainbow flags come June, but seemingly would never hire a trans woman in 1,000 years. If that trans woman doesn’t pass well, you can forget about her job prospects at a Fortune 500 company.

Trannies are less than 1% of the population. 41% of them kill themselves. Many turn to sex work. A majority are mentally ill with Cluster B disorders.

According to PRRI, around 48 percent of Americans would be “uncomfortable” with their own child being trans. In the same poll, only 60 percent of Democrats would be “somewhat or very comfortable” with their child being trans. This means that 40 percent of polled Democrats would be overtly uncomfortable with their own child living their truth.

Yeah, having to cut off your cock or tits, possibly take sterilizing medication, deal with the pronoun of the week, and a suicide rate higher than troops deployed overseas does worry parents.

On the flip side, this still means that almost 4 out of 10 Americans don’t want trans people to serve in the armed forces, just because of their gender orientation.

Yeah...soldiers already have a high suicide rate. The military is not a social experiment. People killing themselves compromises the effectiveness of a unit. No

I'm not transphobic until you either use your gender as a weapon or I see your dick. Otherwise, you'll be treated like any other person.

 

[idosometimes]

Everyone is "transphobic", but not because of this.

The majority of people do not believe that transwomen are women or that transmen are men. As a straight guy, I am only sexually attracted to hung twinks and dickless women. I have no interest in women who have arm flaps sewn to their crotches or men in bad makeup who may or may not have had their dick inverted. The majority of straight guys feel the same way. I do not know how it works for women, but i bet it is pretty similar.

Trannies call this a fetish, but it is actually the opposite People attracted to trannies are fetishists. The rest of us would be "transphobic".

You're retarded

found the tranny in the thread. what i win?

They literally whine that almost 70% of the public has a fetish for heterosexual sex, and are NOT joking...... they cannot see THEY are the minority and minority behaviors mean you'll have to compromise a bit to fit in with society, and THAT IS NOT A CRIME.

I don't drink, for example.

That means a lot of "typical" party stuff doesn't appeal to me (Or, to use troon-speak, makes me very uncomfortable!) so I just avoid it and go for the less-plentiful (but still reasonable) alternatives. So that I don't annoy others who ARE enjoying themselves by being dead weight in the corner the whole night.... and certainly NOT by demanding everyone there drop their cups and bottles IMMEDIATELY as they are ENCROACHING on my very soul by DRINKING.....

LIke, if you're vegan, you probably won't enjoy a pig roast (at least not for the food) but if you do go, at least be polite and civil and don't harangue everyone about how awful it is they eat meat and celebrate it: Though, the troons probably get TAHT, but think they are so special, the "rules" don't apply... this, after all, isn't just a mere party, this is THEIR VERY EXISTANCE!
