That's the very definition of transphobia, so congratulations. Quick remainder that what happens in anybody's pants is their and their sexual partners business only. "B-but outrage culture" We all have a right to be outraged when getting insulted by people who have clearly no idea what we're going trough. I remember a few years ago when people pointed out a large majority of the mod pool was part of the LGBT community and I tought this hadn't changed since, I got to admit I'm pretty surprised no one is saying anything about the unmoderated blatant transphobia in this thread. |
Sorry, I have problems seeing people have limits to dates as something hateful. Too old, too young, too fat, too thin, too nervous, too shy, too sweaty, too muscular, too big, too small → does all these criteria for who people are willing to date as discriminatory? Sure, it sucks if you fall out of the date-pool for someone you like. But guess what: that happens to pretty much all people, except maybe a few perfect beings. So if this comment about dating qualifies as transphobic, when you need to explain why and how, instead just declaring it as 'the very definition of transphobia'.
And about this: "We all have a right to be outraged when getting insulted by people who have clearly no idea what we're going trough." People have for the most time no idea what other people are experiencing, even if they share superficial features like sex, skin color, sexual attraction and so on. If you want other people to understand you, you have to explain yourself. People mostly aren't even aware what others see as insulting. That way even my own sister can induce my anger, but I can't really be mad at her, as long as I don't explain why I am miffed by her comment.
And then you say this thread is full of transphobia. Actually I see people more or less asking what is the case and exploring the feeling of others. before you throw around accusation, you should instead explain what we all do wrong. Because I have the feeling most here are willing to learn.
