      I think this is a form of misogyny. FtM aren’t taken seriously because they’re seen as confused women

        I think its specifically the “women are precious and fragile and need to be protected” form of misogyny, since it explains both hatred towards MtF and the ignoring of FtM

        ::: spolier cw transphobia As you said, FtM folks are disregarded as confused and mistaken and needing help, needing saving from “gender ideology” and MtF folks are predators, attacking women in bathrooms, and the women must be protected from them. :::

          You need the content to be on separate lines from the start tag and the end tag, like so:

      My personal theory on this (with absolutely no negativity directed at anyone at all, and a willingness to be shown I’m wrong) is that FtM pass unnoticed more easily in many scenarios.

        Makes sense. A women wearing pants is pretty par for the course and anyone else they’d just call a butch lesbian and, more or less, move on.

        I suspect you’re correct. I’m super jealous as MTF, just on the part of male puberty naturally deepening the voice, wish it worked the other way too.

      Because it’s just bullshit

      It would have to be explained to them that if they’re afraid of penises in women’s restrooms then they should be equally afraid for the vaginas in male restrooms

      Now the misogyny becomes misandry, which just falls apart because it is neither. It is just hate in the form if projecting their own insecurities for their own political gain.

      There is no reason for people to suffer because of someone else’s insecurities.

      Especially when those people are suffering just to serve as a political distraction.

      A political distraction that exploits both the trans community and voters by fomenting anti-trans sentiment

      It’s more just misogyny for us. They don’t see as actual threats, more like confused tomboys. The angle I think they’re working on for us is mental health and concerns about our reproductive capabilities. We are of course “mutilating” our bodies. I could see them banning testosterone treatment because it can harm embryos.

      The trans woman they want to kill, the trans men they want to quietly stick in asylums (and maybe kill. maybe just rape)

      Them: Trans people are icky. Kill them all.

      That’s the whole thing. It doesn’t matter that trans people aren’t mentioned in the bible. It doesn’t matter that the medical science supports gender-affirming and transition-related care. It doesn’t matter that trans people almost never have an actual advantage in sports. It doesn’t matter that being trans is not a ‘social contagion’. It doesn’t matter that trans people aren’t hurting anyone.

      They want to eliminate all trans people. A Montana republican just put up a bill to ban adult trans medical care. That’s trans genocide. Trump banning trans youth care nation-wide is trans genocide.

      Republicans are fucking Nazis. Straight up.

      Yeah, that’s something that most history books tend to bury; Before the attack on Pearl Harbor, America had a very active nazi support network. There were pro-nazi rallies in America. There’s a reason America wasn’t getting directly involved in the war, and was only doing the Lend-Lease program to help (profit from) the Allies.

    Always trying to distract us with the culture war. The real war is the erosion of democracy and replacement with Authoritarianism. It’s happening right before our very eyes.

    But wait, fox news never told you to be mad about that?

    You’re supposed to be mad that people are doing what makes them happy and it not affecting your life whatsoever.

    They were born this way.

    This is a joke in the context of the joke, obviously one is innate and the other isn’t.
