The amount of hate I receive daily (verbal usually, sometimes physical - I've had rocks thrown at me during Atlanta Pride) let's me know that it isn't made up. It got to the point about 5 years ago that I stopped having a social life in exchange for safety, and I am someone that "passes" well.
This is why voice training is so extremely important for trans people that can physically do it. Bigots tend to group up and absolutely will let you know that they hate you by doing everything from harassment to calling the cops to get you away from them if you get clocked.
You have almost verbatim made the "not all men" argument and shown that you have no real idea about the issue you tried to address.
What the actual fuck? This sounds like something you decided was true in your head with no actual evidence to support it. It is actually extremely offensive and generalized IMO.
It's just based on the trans people I have met so it's highly subjective. For example, I saw two trans people on vacation in Italy wearing dresses, tons of makeup, tight clothes, open chests, and walking in a line like fashion models, looking straight ahead as into a camera.
That's what I mean when I say "showcase their sexuality". They are proud trans people who wants everyone to notice them.
I'm sorry to hear you are getting hate. Nobody deserves to be hated for how they look. But at the same time, we live in a extreamly superficial world. Quite an awful world if you ask me.
What is wrong with that? People can dress however they like and if you don't like it you can just not look at them, not really rocket science.
Guy... you're the one being superficial... you don't get to blame your behaviour on "the world" that's extremely pathetic. Own up to the fact that it is people like you AND you yourself that make the world superficial. Or are you too afraid to take responsibility for your own behaviour?
