1. La omnipresencia del odio y la transfobia.
El odio hacia las personas trans se manifiesta de diversas formas, desde comentarios directos hasta la promoción de políticas discriminatorias.
- "if this really was the case i wouldnt hate transphobes that much. Hate me all you want, but let me be".
- "something you cant help but notice about transphobic people is how theyre all just plain mean spirited towards trans people. Its unmistakably hate.".
- "the transphobes are relentless, we must be too as we have justice on our side, all they have is hate.".
2. Justificaciones y excusas para la transfobia.
Algunos individuos buscan justificar su transfobia a través de argumentos basados en la biología, la religión o la preocupación por la seguridad de otros.
- "some people just hate trans women and will reach for any excuse they can to justify it as fitting within a social-justice mindset rather than confront that they may just be bigots like everyone else who hates trans women. Its a shame to witness.".
- "saying things like you know they arent changing gender is both ignorant and hate. You dont see it that way but a trans person does. You are denying their existence which is pretty stupid since weve had trans people as long as weve had people.".
- "plus, lots of people simply hate trans people, but having grown up through section 28 know thats a bad look, so they want an excuse for their hatred that they can pretend isnt bigotry.".
3. Impacto en la comunidad transgénero.
La transfobia tiene un impacto significativo en la salud mental y el bienestar de las personas trans, generando miedo, ansiedad y aislamiento.
- "trans people face harassment, bullying, and violence every day. 34 attempt suicide. 73 are harassed in public. And the fbi dares to label them as nihilistic violent extremists? i am so sick and tired of this bullshit. Being trans is not a threat hate is.".
- "a thing that drives me mad as a trans woman in the us is that there is an organized hate campaign that is trying to kill us as a group, and the best the opposition can come up with is yeah, lets exclude them from certain sports, agreed like i know thats not quite true but it feels like it".
- "anti trans hate is a real thing at the moment, probably because all that most people think they know about trans people they learned partly from the hate groups. But ignorance fear of the unknown is fixable.".
4. La lucha contra la transfobia y la búsqueda de aliados.
A pesar de la adversidad, la comunidad trans y sus aliados continúan luchando contra la transfobia, promoviendo la inclusión y exigiendo respeto y derechos.
- "the transphobes are relentless, we must be too as we have justice on our side, all they have is hate.".
- "as a cishet male, all i can say is that im sorry, im sorry that so many people engage unfounded in fear and hate against trans people. I try all the time to argue against people who fall into this narrative and act like its a valid point of view.".
- "trans rights are human rights. These people so full of hate who believe the opposite just perplex me. Fight trans erasure at every turn.".
