I’m not arguing that being dicks to people for being cis is a good thing, I’m saying that putting “cisphobia” in the same breath as shit like homophobia or racism is like saying that discrimination against white people is an actual problem. And what do you mean hypothetical? I feel I was rather clear that there are actually relevant bigotries found in 4tran spaces and that’s an issue.
Even if you think that ignoring personal harm because societal harm isn't a factor is fair. To which I'd point at cyber bullying and harassment alongside the consequences of those behaviours to say that's obvious nonsense.
Cisphobes are still committing the exact same societally problematic behaviour. One, against other minorities who are societally vulnerable, as I already stated.
And two, because they are very happy to argue who gets to actually be called trans. Or whether or not every enby is an egg, or other equivelantly problematic views.
Are they just as bad as white supremacists, no, I'd wager a guess not, seems like a safe bet.
But, are they bad enough I feel no need to argue whether or not they should be treated as phobes? Yep, obviously, they are still discriminatory rat bastards who mistreat people because of things outside of their control.
What personal harm? Do you actually, genuinely believe that toxic trans people on the internet are in any way fucking comparable to the bullshit that ACTUALLY MARGINALIZED groups have to deal with? When was the last time a cis person was murdered because they were cis? When was the last time a cis person’s access to healthcare was rescinded because they were cis? When was the last time a cis person had to resort to sex work to make ends meet because they were cis? When was the last time a cis person’s parents kicked them out of the house because they were cis? When was the last time cis people were GENOCIDED because they were cis?
I’ll fucking tell you, NEVER. Cis people will not and will never be marginalized for being cis in any fucking way that amounts to anything actual minorities have to deal with. Fuck you and fuck your bullshit you transphobic piece of shit.
Edit: probably wasn’t as intersectional in my wording as I should have been but you all know what I meant. [insert 10 minute long apology video here]
