So there I was thinking about posting on r/bisexual and then I saw the comments on the sub: “How does being a transphobic cishet white guy with a vagina feel?” What? There were many transphobic comments like this? Well of course there were, they were the kind that just think that I have to do whatever I want to be if I don't like the genitals of a girl, so why are you calling me a bigot and not even bothering to check my profile? I'm sorry, I'm not a transphobe, I'm just being a reasonable human. But I just cannot stand being told “your genitals are so hot, you're not even allowed to be mad about it because of what I said” I'm not transphobic but I just can't stand being told “your genitals are so hot” just because they think that I have to be happy about my genitalia? Why are you asking for more than me just telling you that your genitals are so hot and I am willing to date your genitals because I think that you are a valid man because I am just a trans person, so why don't you get my permission to be happy about it? Also I'm not going to say that my vagina is fake and not a fake penis because I said it that way, I am not saying that it has no sexual characteristics (which it does have), I just don't agree with some of the things you have said in this post because it doesn't fit into my own definition of being a woman and a woman has no sexual characteristics.

      It’s not because I hate trans people. It’s because I have a very deep understanding of transphobia. I actually want to be transphobic to people, so it’s very important to me that I can be transphobic to people, and not just hate them for being transphobic. I really wish everyone would realize that we have a shared transphobia, that our communities are much more likely to be hostile towards us than they are to each other and the people around us. I’m a big supporter of trans rights, but I still feel like a lot of people are either just too insecure to see me as a person who can be transphobic, or that I’m just a bit too far gone in my understanding of transphobia. I have a deep understanding of transphobia. I’m also really big supporter of trans rights and I think people are very ignorant. I don’t know if I can do enough to help, but I’d like to get the message across that I’m not a hate-filled bigot. I wish we were able to stop saying “trans people are just confused lesbians”. If I see someone who’s not sure about their sexuality, or wants to talk to me about it, I can still be transphobic to them and not actually want to be transphobic. It’s just that I can’t think of enough ways to be transphobic to be transphobic to someone. I have no interest in being transphobic to someone. It’s just my own feelings and my own personal experiences. I love trans people, and I’m sorry you have a tough time coping with it. I think we are all in this together, and that the world is beautiful, and I hope that we live in a world where we have the space where we have the space to talk about our struggles without judgemental. I hope that it’s not only for you.
