Today I experienced that awkward situation where people will start spouting transphobic opinions without knowing you're trans. Funnily enough, one of them was the guy I recently went on a date with😬 I almost want to tell him I'm trans just to fuck with him as he's very interested in meeting up again, but I'm just going to break it off and luckily I'll likely never see him again as he's a few semesters ahead of me and the course we are currently on together is basically finished😅
Why do people even feel the need? Especially if you aren’t a Fox News boomer uncle.
Like how is it even brought up??
transphobia
It makes them feel happy when they can hurt us. And because most of the media and politicians are on their side, they are currently feeling very emboldened to take advantage of that and say transphobic shit as many times as they want, even in the middle of completely unrelated conversations. Because in the end, they know that there won’t be any consequences for them.Yaa it's weird, the conversation was about height and then it turned to Thailand, I don't remember how😅
transphobia
But of course the usual came up about how you can't know if a woman in Thailand is a woman🙄Then the guy I went on a date with said that being trans couldn't be healthy because trans people have to take hormones and cut their dick off, and he was sure that trans people would at most live to 50 years of age🙄
And then they finished off by misgendering Elon Musk's trans daughter and saying that she fumbled the bag by disowning Elon🙄
I honestly don't know why it's something that gets brought up. Like trans visibility is generally quite low here in Denmark too, but bigots gonna be bigots I guess.
I’m so sorry you had to experience that. Like, even for a transphobe this was just really cruel.
Yaa it was kind of a weird situation to be in (especially since he kissed me twice during the break today lol), but it means I won't have to waste my time or out myself unnecessarily. I kind of see it as his loss, like we vibed together and he seems very interested, he even wanted to watch a movie together today.
And thank you❤️ Dating as a trans person truly is miserable😫
With cis people definitely, but t4t can make that less miserable
I don't know any other trans people, actually I've only ever met two trans men (at least that I know of, most likely I've interacted with more than two). I also do not participate in any LGBT+ communities IRL as my number one priority in life is to go stealth. I guess I'm also worried that dating another trans person would make my dysphoria even worse, maybe it's irrational idk😵💫
not hormones
Yeah like on top of being a bigot, he is a moron too😫 The worst part is that we are both medical students😬
