I've seen atheists dismiss trans ppl as another religion. I've seen christians dismiss trans ppl as a rebellion against their god. I've seen feminists dismiss trans ppl as an artifact of patriarchy. I've seen anti-feminists dismiss trans ppl as a deranged product of feminism. I've seen conservatives dismiss trans ppl as a threat to the social order. I've seen leftists dismiss trans ppl as a threat to revolution. Everyone uses their favorite political theory to justify their bigotry. 5 comments

Cis people, rather than pulling conveniently assembled justifications out of your asses for despising us, just admit the real reasons why you hate us: 1) We make you uncomfortable and you think we're disgusting. 2) We frighten and anger you because we refuse to follow your restrictive social rules, customs, aesthetics, and sensibilities surrounding gender. 3) You see us as an intolerable threat because of #1 and #2. 4) You want to destroy us because of #1 and #2.

We refuse to follow your rules around sex/gender, you want social conformity at any cost, our refusal to conform enrages you, and you will destroy us in the face of refusing to conform. Just drop the bullshit excuses and admit the truth.

Bookmarked. I think what you wrote is the underlying truth many are not self aware enough to see or lack the character to honestly admit. |

In fact, this is the only consistency in cis people's dislike of trans people: they all reach for their favorite political and social theories, whatever they may be, and then cobble together an ad hoc justification for hating trans people and eliminating us.
Those theories exist in political contradiction to each other, but cis people stand united in their desire to form half assed reasons to despise us.
