This section is horrible.

I've found that this entire site has seen sunnier days. I've been misgendered quite a few times on WP. There was even one member who presumed that I was intersex. I've seen quite a few transphobic posts recently as well. It's everywhere and I can't get away from it, even on WP.

Sorry about all that.  Some of us do try, but even the best of intentions often go astray...

I think there's "surges" of transphobic activity online, especially around elections or times of political unrest. I know this has been mentioned all over the internet, many times, but trans people seem to be the new "weird" thing for people to vilify and debate now that homosexual relationships are relatively accepted in the West. That gives me hope though that eventually we'll be met with the same level of acceptance.

The message told me that I should reconsider and it contained the usual rhetoric against gay people adopting. My response was a three-page long reply discussing misconceptions and pointing out the flaws in the message. Should I have reported this?

Does this count as a personal attack?

I am so used to justifying myself I'll admit it didn't even occur to me at the time that perhaps I shouldn't have tolerated it in the first place. The member is no longer here, but I do wonder if I should've handled it differently.

[Removed for violating WP rules] A lot of the T in the 90's and 80's were usually lesbian, gay or bisexual, so they're already part of the community. You don't have conform to gender stereotypes, and still feel comfortable with your biological sex. For example, I usually don't conform to a lot of stereotypes women are "supposed" to conform to, and I'm not even trans at all. I don't know what your dating apps are like, but with lesbians, a lot of straight couples are on there, and other things. Not the best to go on dating apps truthfully. Also, anyone that is homosexual, particularly female, they'll use the disgusting slur q***r instead of lesbian, gay, or homosexual female. A lot of q***rs are actually straight from what I've seen, and only think they're q***r because they don't conform to gender stereotypes.

LOL I am pretty sure lesbiphobic isn’t an actual word and the actual term is homophobic. Then again I am not a native English speaker to start with so I might be totally wrong, hilarious nonetheless.

What exactly is this section? I thought it was L G B T not T E R F.

Being a bisexual man leaning more towards the homo isle of the two I also highly doubt that this section is regularly flooded with offensive, annoying, homophobic and misogynist trans people. I haven’t heard of many trans people being homophobic and misogynist yet and I haven’t experienced homophobia from the trans men and women I have gotten to know during the years irl and that were quite some. They weren’t dysfunctional either!

It’s a lot more likely that your ideology is incredibly hostile, toxic and transphobic and that you deem the mere existence of trans people and the discussion of trans issues in this section or anywhere else for that matter an offense, annoying, homophobic and misogynist. They could probably discuss and say whatever, talk about the weather and you’d still be mad that they dare to write or say anything at all.

Being against TERF ideology =/= homophobia.
I oppose TERF ideology as dangerous, irrational, fearmongering idiocy and I am pretty certain this is not me being homophobic.

I also always find the hypocrisy of the TERF types incredibly entertaining. In my country they cooperate and work together with the alt-right party. And while they deem the mere existence of trans people (trans women in particular) as homophobic, misogynist and threatening, they are apparently incapable of comprehending the alt-right party’s program and what those politicians say and push for and what would happen to them under the fascist reign. That the alt-right party does not merely oppose and deem transsexual people as degenerates and want to get rid of them but that they see homosexual people the very same way and want to strip them off of their rights and eventually depose them too (even though trans people and gay/bi men are first on the list and lesbians/bi women last, lesbians are still on their list regardless), is fine with them. And as far as straight women go, they ought to be mothers and housekeepers who produce and raise the Aryan offspring for the fatherland and submit to their husbands. But apparently that’s all cool with the TERFs as well as long as there are no trans people. It definitely shows that they don’t give a s**t about homosexual people and their rights or women’s rights but that their only political stand and purpose in life is to hate trans people and they’ll work together with just everyone to take the rights of trans people away. TERFs are incredibly pathetic, sad individuals! If they weren’t that reprehensible I’d feel sorry for them and their miserable personalities and lives.




Is this satire ? x’D
“All them gaystranssexuals are targeting and preying on our poor, good Christian kids turning them into gaystranssexuals with their gay trans agenda!”

One just gotta love LGBT folks who wield the same incredibly harmful arguments against trans people that religious lunatics and far right conservatives wield and wielded against all of us for centuries! The same moon logic that contributed massively to the oppression of gay men in particular!

It truly takes an absolute “genius” to do so and not even realise it! Kudos!

I think that there can be some differences between homophobia aimed at men VS homophobia aimed at women, but there is also a great deal of overlap which is why I think that lesbiphobia is a redundant term.
