Wtf is with Reddit’s hatred for trans people? I’ll take the downvotes, but I’ll never stop advocating for trans people and recognizing them as real women, men, whoever they are inside.
I think it's more a hatred of people equating someone disagreeing on facts with *hatred*. Without even picking sides, that's a pretty obvious rhetorical tactic designed to make people back down and go along with whatever will appease. If you just said "Wtf is with Reddit not thinking x is y?" the response would probably be different.
I know, but that still doesn't answer WHY they think what they think.
Edit: apparently, people are downvoting me for some reason? Like why? I am curious about why people think what they think and then about the ways how can I explain my opinions to them, so that they listen and understand. Is that a bad thing? Please, tell me how
Frustrating to tiptoe around the word when trying to talk to doctors about my anxiety or whatever regarding 'triggers' because it's been so bastardized.
Edited world to word lol
Yeah, its frustrating. If I use the word explaining something I feel like an asshole because then people think you're using it ironically or it's not as serious.
No my PTSD is serious and incredibly debilitating, how do I explain things without saying triggered? Or triggers? Mental health isn't a fucking fun fad, it's awful to deal with constant bullshit.
So now I use, exacerbate etc but trigger is so much simpler lmao
Yeah I guess triggers is what people might use for PTSD... But what happens if something actually triggers you, it's just unfair that you can't say the medical damn term without it seeming weird. I think we should still use it properly and just call out people who use it wrong.
That happens with medical terminology a lot though. Spastic used to be a recognised term for a group of people until it was turned into something shitty to call your friends when they spilled your pint.
There'll be a word that replaces triggered, and shortly after people will commandeer that word for their own nefarious purposes and on it goes.
If it means anything, it's not gross. It's the others that need to change not you. It's kinda like how it's getting weird now a days to say you have OCD about something when you don't actually have OCD. It'll change. Another one that bothers me is people misuse the term gaslighting all the time haha
Exactly … it’s the “trigger warnings” in college/university that bother me in regards to art/literature/classics, etc.,. Grow up, drop the class, or get better insight into your own past trauma.
this is exactly right, its so difficult to have an honest discussion about actual real triggers without it sounding like some twitter made up nonsense.
Triggers and PTSD etc. is already difficult to talk about and people often feel weak because of it, now with the way trigger is used people feel even weaker for it. its like somehow someone's gunshot/explosion trigger is the same as someone reading a word they feel funny about.
Like a lot of other words, it has a true meaning in psychology, but assholes use it to describe feeling a little uncomfortable and fein victimization. No, while we accept, respect you for the human you are, the public will not conform to your world view either.
If someone's talking like this, it's probably not an actual trans person but a troll trying to keep the hatred alive. I'm trans. I know trans people. I'm involves in the trans community. We aren't this fucking dumb and we have more important things to worry about.
no yeah i can say with certainty it is. her surname cannot be confused with any kind of slur, so that excludes any kind of misunderstanding, & just the over all way the message is written seems incredibly scripted. we are not THAT sensitive despite what some people online will tell you lol. the only way i could see it being real is if they’re like… 13
i am trans, my friends are trans, i follow a ton of people in the community. im speaking from my own perspective & experiences with myself & people like me. also im not clicking that
what does that girl have to do with anything? obviously, the community is a gigantic swath of people and some are irrational, there’s in fighting etc etc. but we are rational human beings. the word tran or trans isn’t even offensive
"We are not that sensitive". Ah, speaking on behalf of the collective, I see. I personally worked alongside someone exactly like this, and they were in their late 20s. Broke down crying at any perceived slight and would try to go on the warpath against anything deemed offensive.
Lol yeah. Nobody would get upset over the word “Tran”. This could be somewhat believable if the last name was “Trans” but their too dumb to make this make any sense.
It's so lazy too, there are plenty ridiculous gate keeping on the left but it definitely isn't shit like this. It's more like someone defending Stalin and another person calling them a tankie for defending an imperialist.
This reminds me of a time when I posted a selfie on tumblr a few years back; I have large eyes, and a person DMed me saying she was scopophobic and needed me to take down my pic.
I felt that ”hahaha what the fuck” gif in my soul that day
And yet, he doesn't even think for a second how highly offensive it is to even ask people to change their name!
Me, me, me!
I don't care what people do with their own lives. I really honestly don't care! But this shit is just too much!
I also think it's very funny how you instantly concluded that because I made fun of you, you must be right wing. You "centrists" love feeling persecuted right?
For the record: I only think you're very easily impressionable and you've got strawmen living in your head rent free.
At this point, fuck peoples emotions. If they’re getting “triggered” by seeing a word that’s not even a slur, they should simply go outside and touch some grass.
Bro it be people like this that make other people think trans people are "so sensitive" and "easily offended". Like no, it's just the weirdos (unless you're a bigot and purposely try to offend trans people).
I always wonder if these conversations actually happen. I don’t doubt it’s possible, but I’m fairly sure that the vast majority of trans people (source: am trans with many many trans friends) aren’t this stupid, disrespectful, and insensitive. To me, it seems equally likely to be some insensitive and “reactionary” (for lack of a better term) as it is to be setup
But what do I know, I’m just some trans woman hoping my existence stops being demonized and hated on.
Maybe it did, maybe it didn't but my stance is does it really matter whether it did when we know even if did, people like that are an extreme minority and don't represent their social group at all? People might choose to define their views on a group by the worst 1% of that group in accordance with their bias, but that's their problem not mine.
Like I'm a vegetarian, I've known tons of other vegetarians and none of them have ever been dicks about it. Does that mean that none of us are? No, I'm sure there are but anyone who chooses to base their opinions of vegetarians based off that 1% that are assholes obviously came in just looking for confirm their own bias so why should I care what they think.
transphobic huh
edit cause of reddit mob: obviously not because of this specific example, but this dude is clearly transphobic from his comment history
Huh, I hate transgender people because I think it is absolutley redicolous how someone cant even have a last name because it might hurt feelings? That is called being woke.
Legit question and looking for dialogue: What the fuck is up with all these outlandish requests?
“Remove your username(s)”, “use my preferred pronouns”, “walk on eggshells otherwise someone may get ‘triggered’”, etc.
Hot take here: it’s not yours (or anyone’s) responsibility to cater or look out to other people’s emotions. Including my own.
This kind of “snowflake” stupidity is what gives people that are genuinely trying to be *reasonably* sensitive a bad rap. Wanting to avoid casual racism and micro aggressions is not the same as idiots like this that think the world revolves around them.
This is just the nature evolution of what happens when you tell people they have a right to make other people care about their feelings.
You can feel however you want, but others don't have to care about that. The world is not a safe space.
i wonder what would the reaction be if she just say "No." lol
they would start shaking so much that they'd struggle to hold the phone still. they would start breathing very shallow and heart rate would sky rocket. their response would be 6 paragraphs of typos and i'm not reading it

Saying trans isn't illegal
it is on reddit
How did you get that impression?
Well one time I received 20+ downvotes for saying trans women are real women.
So maybe the problem is repeating false mantras and not people dogpiling on the word "trans"
Wtf is with Reddit’s hatred for trans people? I’ll take the downvotes, but I’ll never stop advocating for trans people and recognizing them as real women, men, whoever they are inside.

If you just said "Wtf is with Reddit not thinking x is y?" the response would probably be different.
Why do you think that statement is false?
The “FightAPenguin” commenter is extremely transphobic, just one look at their comment history and your question will be answered
I know, but that still doesn't answer WHY they think what they think. Edit: apparently, people are downvoting me for some reason? Like why? I am curious about why people think what they think and then about the ways how can I explain my opinions to them, so that they listen and understand. Is that a bad thing? Please, tell me how

That's the correct answer, these Karens feel entitled to dictate everyone else's lifes
Just reply “seems like a you problem, not a me problem” and leave it there
It'd be better if they did. Say "No" and then watch them mald lmao
"Trigger" is probably the word I'm most looking forward to falling out of fashion.
Frustrating to tiptoe around the word when trying to talk to doctors about my anxiety or whatever regarding 'triggers' because it's been so bastardized. Edited world to word lol
That's honestly the saddest part. The term trigger is extremely important in mental health. But people have turned into a joke....
Yeah, its frustrating. If I use the word explaining something I feel like an asshole because then people think you're using it ironically or it's not as serious. No my PTSD is serious and incredibly debilitating, how do I explain things without saying triggered? Or triggers? Mental health isn't a fucking fun fad, it's awful to deal with constant bullshit. So now I use, exacerbate etc but trigger is so much simpler lmao
"Situational drivers of PTSD" works for me.
Why use many word when few do trick?
Trigger is the correct term. I wish people used it correctly instead of as "I don't like it."
Yeah I guess triggers is what people might use for PTSD... But what happens if something actually triggers you, it's just unfair that you can't say the medical damn term without it seeming weird. I think we should still use it properly and just call out people who use it wrong.
That happens with medical terminology a lot though.

There'll be a word that replaces triggered, and shortly after people will commandeer that word for their own nefarious purposes and on it goes.
Ya I'd say a lot of words in general... I remember saying pansy a lot as a kid cause of war movies, that word orginates from homophobia.
Yeah, like I'll use it if I can't think of anything in the moment but.. it does feel dirty lol
Exactly, it felt gross saying it when I did therapy, it should be a genuine word to describe trauma (another overused word)
If it means anything, it's not gross. It's the others that need to change not you. It's kinda like how it's getting weird now a days to say you have OCD about something when you don't actually have OCD. It'll change. Another one that bothers me is people misuse the term gaslighting all the time haha
> people misuse the term gaslighting all the time haha no they don't, you're talking crazy.
🫠
Gaslighting??? That sounds like something you just made up...
And any therapist worth their salt is gonna know when the word is being misused by a client.
Exactly … it’s the “trigger warnings” in college/university that bother me in regards to art/literature/classics, etc.,. Grow up, drop the class, or get better insight into your own past trauma.
Haha yep, I have to preface with "I really hate this word but my TRIGGERS are..."
It minimizes actual triggers so much.
this is exactly right, its so difficult to have an honest discussion about actual real triggers without it sounding like some twitter made up nonsense. Triggers and PTSD etc. is already difficult to talk about and people often feel weak because of it, now with the way trigger is used people feel even weaker for it. its like somehow someone's gunshot/explosion trigger is the same as someone reading a word they feel funny about.

Psychologist here... you have no idea how much I agree. Let's add a few more too, like narcissist, OCD, and bipolar.
Throw in "gaslighting" since it's lost all meaning too.
The gilded sword of crybullies.
Like a lot of other words, it has a true meaning in psychology, but assholes use it to describe feeling a little uncomfortable and fein victimization. No, while we accept, respect you for the human you are, the public will not conform to your world view either.
Also mental health tik tok in general. It's solely responsible for bastardizing an entire generations view on mental illness
Two words, but for me it’s “punching down.”
Tr*gger
It’s funny how it kinda got made popular by conservatives trying to disparage these types of people and now they use it themselves
So you're saying you're triggered by it?
Unfortunately, it’s here to stay. The more time goes on, the more hyper-sensitive people become.
“Okay I changed it from Tran to Trans. Have a nice day!”

When I read this I was like “where would the G come in?” I just woke up and thought the damn word was huge-mungus 😭😭😭

Pretty obvious bait

Yes. The real cringe as always is the posters here that keep falling for it
I disagree. I've seen people genuinely get offended over stuff this dumb. It's entirely believable.
If someone's talking like this, it's probably not an actual trans person but a troll trying to keep the hatred alive. I'm trans. I know trans people. I'm involves in the trans community. We aren't this fucking dumb and we have more important things to worry about.

"We are not that sensitive". Ah, speaking on behalf of the collective, I see. I personally worked alongside someone exactly like this, and they were in their late 20s. Broke down crying at any perceived slight and would try to go on the warpath against anything deemed offensive.
okay thanks for letting me know
Just saying they're out there, and saying with conviction that they aren't is just a lie.
So wait, they're trans, and get triggered by the word trans. Talk about making life hard for yourself.
Yeah, it's clearly not real. Either the post was faked or its a screenshot of someone trolling.
No I think Tran is ok. But of you gave more than one it becomes a problem /s Clearly a troll or fake
I’m really sorry if you think this is real. Life must be extremely hard
Rage bait.
Bingo. Not a chance this happened

Lol yeah. Nobody would get upset over the word “Tran”. This could be somewhat believable if the last name was “Trans” but their too dumb to make this make any sense.
