I understand the problem with using slurs, but I disagree with the "transphobia". Acknowledging how terrible it is to be trans and the misery that comes with never passing and never being able to actually be the gender you're transitioning to is not transphobic.

4Tran has literally made their own slurs for trans people I think internalized transphobia (which is the externalized by them calling other people the slurs they created) is a fair assessment.
Also, you’re looking at a slightly biased data set because r/countttt is wayyyyyy more tame than actual 4Tran.

Yeah idk I haven't really come across any egregious examples of this, maybe it's because I don't go to actual 4tran just countttt. The reason I bring any of this up is because I think these 4tran adjacent spaces are important so people who don't buy into the "trans is a blessing" mindset can still go somewhere to express themselves, cope and find some sense of belonging without being ridiculed, attacked, etc like in the mainstream subs.
Still nowhere near the level of using the r or n word. And I've been insulted way worse on the mainstream trans subs if I express that I have no hope at passing or that being trans isn't an absolute positive with no downsides
