#transgender hate

I really shouldn’t even respond to this, but here we go, lmao. Also, if you’re offended easily by transmed thoughts, than this post ain’t for you. 

Honestly, I can understand a part of this. You’re coming at it from an obviously transphobic mindset, invalidating every single trans person and boiling them down to this. 

I think that there is some truth to what you’re saying. There are some people out there who will realize they aren’t trans and are in fact just dealing with internalized homophobia. And I KNOW girls who believe they’re trans men because they are so deeply fetishizing mlm. 

However, those cases are not everybody. 

Trangender people have been around for a long time. There is a disconnect between our brain gender, and our gender assigned at birth.  That has nothing to do with sexism or homophobia. 

Like, I’m not homophobic at all. I love watching wlw, be it porn or on TV screens, I deeply enjoy seeming two women be soft and loving each other.  But I am not a lesbian. I tried to convince myself I was for years, but I couldn’t. 

I also don’t have body dysmorphia. I’m overall okay with my body. I forget about it a lot, tbh. Until someone calls me the wrong pronoun or uses the wrong name, or my chest jiggles a bit too much. 

Just because some ‘transgender’ people change their mind, doesn’t mean we’re all wrong. Just like any group of people, you have those who want to fit in, looking for any way to become part of another group (see all the white people claiming to be mixed, and so on). 

It’s not necessarily their fault. Most are just confused and don’t know better, only know that they can find strength in the label and find friends who feel like they do. 

The rise in people like this is because of the idea that you don’t need dysphoria to be trans.  You do.  There has to be discomfort in your birth gender for you to even think about wanting to be the other gender. Period. 

But I mean, yeah. Most of these people are too scared to realize it until it’s too late. That’s why the rise of detransitioners is on the rise and will continue to rise. But also, most of these people are young. Their fear is valid.  Which is why we need transgender to be a medical thing, to prevent children from making irreversible decisions. 

And like, Idk about how hormones are “ impossible, cancer inducing meds to shorten your life span”, but like, if an adult wants to do them, that’s not up to you or me to stop them.  I’m only worried about children, but once you’re an adult, you should do whatever you want. 

And also, being trans. I’d rather shorten my lifespan than deal with being called ‘she’ and having my chest for the rest of my life. Quality over quantity. 

Angie Zapata, born August 5, 1989, she was an American trans woman. At an early age Angie was feminine and expressed attraction to boys. In middle school Angie came out as transgender, but at age 16, she started to live full-time a woman. Her family was very loving and supportive.

When Angie was 18 years old, she met Allen Andrade, who was aged 31 years old. They spent three days together, in which they had sexual contact. When Andrade found out that she was transgender, he started to beat her and then beat her with a fire extinguisher. He didn’t stop until she was dead.

After Andrade was arrested he said he thought he had killed ‘it’ while he left her body in her car with the murder weapon next to her. Andrade got arrested when he was driving in Angie’s car near her home, while having her body still in the car.

On April 22, 2009, a year after the murder, the trial began. Andrade was found guilty of first degree murder, hate crimes, vehicle theft and identity theft. He was sentenced to prison for life without the possibility for parole.

Gisberta Salce Júnior, was a Brazilian transgender woman. She lived on the street and performed sex work to earn some money. She had been suffering from a poor health. Gisberta was HIV positive and suffered from tuberculosis.

In February, 2006, she was taken by a group of 14 youths which were between 12 to 16 years of age. She was tortured and raped by a stick for 3 days straight. After they were done with her, they threw her in a well that was over 15 metres deep, where she drowned.

Eleven of the youths were sentenced with minor sentences of under 13 months. Gisberta’s death became a symbol of the violence against women and LGBT. Shortly after her death the laws of protecting trans women were introduced in Portugal. 

Nireah Johnson, born 1986, was a transgender woman. 

On June 18, 2003, at the age of 17, Nireah and her friend Brandie Coleman, 18 years old, were riding around with another friend. The three met a man named Paul Moore. They pulled into a gas station to exchange numbers. Moore was attracted to Nireah, as he believed she was cisgender, he gave her a kiss on the cheek and agreed to meet later. Moore later denied meeting Nireah on a date. Nireah and Brandie drove to Moore’s apartment. Moore together with his friend Curtis Ward talked a bit before going in. Brandie went into Ward’s room and Nireah went into Moore’s room.

Later, Moore entered Ward’s room with a handgun and wanted to speak Ward. He discussed with Ward if Nireah was a male of female. The two then went into the living room and asked Nireah and Brandie is Nireah was a male. This soon became a forty minute discussion, and when Nireah went to the bathroom, Moore followed and discovered that Nireah was a transgender woman. Moore became upset and told Ward to get wire and bind Brandie’s and Nireah’s hands behind their backs. Then Moore put the both of them in the back seat of his car and told Ward to follow him. Moore drove to a wooded area and parked the car there. Then he went into Ward’s car and shot both Brandie and Nireah. As they drove home, he tried to get rid of the gun by throwing pieces out of the window. The same afternoon, Moore asked Ward if he should set fire to the car he left Nireah and Brandie in. Ward then spoke to Moore’s half-brother, Clarence McGee, who had seen the bodies in the car and together with Ward he set fire to the car.

Nireah and Brandie’s bodies were found on July 23, after the firefighters were alerted to the burning vehicle. They found the bodies but they were burned beyond recognition. But on the next day, the police released their names as victims after the mother of Brandie Coleman, Mary Coleman, recognized the vehicle.
