Please do not support transphobia.


For the record, I support mainstream trans rights.

I fail to see how evidence of hate and violence coming from trans extremists is transphobic.


[flagged]


Because I think that mainstream trans people are done a great disservice by trans extremists. Do you think trans people benefit from being associated with the kind of tweets on that website? Reasonable trans men and trans women are pushing back on extremist language and calls for violence that are perpetrated in their name.

Only by discussing this can peaceful coexistence be achieved.


You're right when it comes to calls to violence, but I would prefer #DieT*rfs or #T*rfsMustDie instead.

At least then freedom of speech is preserved and are is no calls for violence.

> Only by discussing this can peaceful coexistence be achieved.

Would love to see evidence of this and until then, please go tell that to the exclusionary T*rfs FIRST and NOT trans people fighting against them. Be a trans ally.


This is part of the reason why a sizeable portion of the population sees you as a cult of lunatics.


Lunacy for recognising trans women as women and fighting against people that actively deny trans people's existence?

I'll take that any day.
