I know I’m not trans and thus considerably less of a target overall.. but this shit scares me so much.
I have been accused of being a man on multiple occasions due largely to having a deep gravely voice and no willingness to hide my true personality.. I wrestled, was in the military, and have mostly non-stereotypically-feminine interests.. so despite being a whopping 5’2, 120lb, feminine-presenting afab, people (actually it’s been 100% men doing it) misgender me quite a bit more than one would expect..
And coming from a conservative area, that is frightening every time it happens. Most of the men who do this are 2-3x my size and would probably kill me.
Trans woman here. I've noticed so much hate online coming mainly from men. And this is primarily why we want people to stop attacking and/or killing trans people and stop the TERF rhetoric. It's affecting all women that don't follow absolutely stereotypical feminine ideals. When my partner and I went to New Hampshire, they were the one that almost got attacked while waiting in line for pizza, not me, the trans woman that was walking around the same convenience store right in front of him.
@ApathyTree @Beaver Doesn't matter if you are trans or not. All women are under attack, this is not just about trans people. We were an easy target to start with but everyone who is not a cishet white male conservative is a target.
