Hint: There just aren’t enough trans people for all their hate so they have to take it out on non-trans. This is how fucking stupid they are. Trans people do nothing to deserve this and never affect these hater’s lives in any meaningful way. It truly is bizarre.
Because there aren’t really all that many truly trans people. It’s just that the Conservative Propaganda Machine has convinced them that ALL Dems want to transition, and that a significant number of trans people are out there, when in reality it is a tiny percentage.
You’re not wrong, but there are trans people out there. I’m a trans woman myself and I cross paths with other trans people fairly often in the wild, so to speak. So it is a bit intresting that transphobes fail so hard at clocking us. Granted as a trans person myself I may be better at identifying trans people.
Although most trans people I’ve met are very self conscious about their appearance. So many of us don’t stop using the bathroom of our birth sex until doing so becomes an issue. Usually well meaning people clocking us as our preferred gender and telling us we are in the wrong bathroom, or just making it very clear that our presence confused them. I’ve heard versions of this story from so many trans people. “This is when I knew it was time to switch bathrooms” is basically trope in trans spaces…
I suspect they keep attacking cis women because cis women feel comfortable using the women’s restroom. Even if their appearance is outside the societal norm.
Its really weird because as a trans person I “clock” people fairly regularly. It’s hard to explain what it is that I’m seeing to someone who doesn’t get it though because it’s not really the shit that the crazy transvestigators are looking for.
Yea, I’m pretty sure we see things that most people are blind to. A side effect or our own self criticism. It’s like you see dozens of tiny cues, all of witch are also common in cis women, but the right combination of cues will trigger my spidey sense.
I don’t think it’s something that can be learned. But even if I could teach it, I wouldn’t. With great power and all that…
“One of them called me a ***. I was very upset at that,” Grass said.
What 3 letter homophobic slur do you think John Kammrad, the adult attacker, and his juvenile accomplice called her? I can only think of one, and it’s not one that is used against cis women…
_Police arrested 19-year-old John Kammrad and a 17-year-old boy, and they both face several charges, including aggravated battery.
Grass has said she went to the McDonald’s in Carpentersville with her 13-year-old cousin after his choir concert. A group of strangers started harassing her and using anti-gay slurs as she left the restroom.
When she walked away, she said they followed. She told the strangers she is a lesbian and flicked her wrist at them.
“How it started was because I’m a lesbian — just because I walked into the woman’s bathroom, and I looked the way I look,” Grass said._
She attempted to get rid of the people following her by informing them she was a lesbian. The only context that makes sense is if they accused her of being trans…
You are right the quote says ‘homophobic slurs’. That one is on me.
Your explanation for it definitely being transphobes (which most homophobes likely are too, which is why I’m going to assume that you didn’t think they were homophobes) seems speculative unless the three wildcards are indeed one letter each (which could probably be checked by finding other articles from the same writer and checking it for different lengths of asterisks) and there is a homophobic slur specific to men that would match.
There’s no reason homophobes would not be upset about a homosexual person going to the bathroom and if the person was visibly queer that would be enough.
The assumption that I made in the first set of brackets of the second paragraph ended up being quite important but otherwise your original statement doesn’t make sense.
Weird how these transphobes never seem to find an actual trans person.
Trans rights are human rights! Everyone is harmed by blind hatred…

But, there are many more trans people than attacks on suspected trans people. It really feels like they are bad at identifying trans people
Anyone who says “I can always tell.” is full of so much shit, it’s like a portapotty gained sentience.

To be fair this post says it was homophobes and they weren’t suggesting that the victim was trans.
No, it says the used “homophobic slurs”.
