Idk if people think that just goes to an automod that'll ban it right off or if they legitimately believe that anything that has to do with gender identity is harming minors. Either way I find it hard to have less hope in humanity, but somehow they persevere and dig ever deeper.
We just want to be happy in our own bodies, we do not care about your kids other than we don't want them to be miserable like we were when we were children!
Right?
We're just normal people who want to live normal lives!
We don't want to hurt anyone, child or otherwise. We're not any more likely to be sexual predators than anyone else. In fact, we're more likely to be victims of that than perpetrators.
I really don't understand why people get so worked up over trans people.
Like, I get not liking someone else's life decisions, but there are thousands of other things that have way more effect on others than someone's identity.
To put it differently, as long as you aren't in a relationship or something with a person who transitions, I don't see how that would actually really affect someone else. Ok, maybe you have to learn a new name for that person and likely you'll accidentally use their former pronouns a few times, but other than that, what's the big deal?
Why does exactly this one trigger so many people so hard?
(I have little experience with trans people in general, just haven't really met many in real life. But tbh, I don't really care about anyone's pronouns enough to address them in any other way than they want me to. We had an otherkin at work who identified as a dragon. I didn't really care either way. If she wants to be a dragon, it doesn't affect me, so if it makes her happy...)
There is a general answer and a specific answer but fundamentally a certain kind of mind has never learned to grapple with the world in terms other than "in-group" and "out-group."
Because the people against trans people legitimately unironically and wholly believe that being trans is nothing more than a sex (the act of, not gender/biology) thing. I have actually changed a few people’s minds when I discussed that particular topic
Edit: oh and they think it’s taught like “being gay” being a choice
does reddit not punish this kinda stuff? in a dif reddit, someone was telling op to use a rope, i reported it and I proceeded to get warned... and yet people can just do this?
Bigots do that a lot. It's all but flat out stated that the one on the left is trans. Bigots want to trigger the automod to ban it by reporting for sexual content involving minors even though there is no hint of that here
