Reminds me of a bit some streamer did about a trans inclusionary radical misogynist. "I get it, if I was born a woman I'd want to be a man too! And any weak man that can't hack it should get to be a woman! Trans rights!"

It makes me laugh everytime I see people like that. It's just so funny to me that there are people that can get over a pretty recent prejudice, but not the one that's thousands of years old, that is significantly less socially acceptable than the other. Actually, I think that they should have cage matches with terfs.

[–] squaresinger@lemmy.world 44 points 6 months ago

Tbh, it's not that surprising to me.

Trans prejudices are, as you said, rather new and to most people rather impactless. Most people don't have close daily contact with trans people, just because there aren't that many, so it's not that difficult to say "You know, I don't really care".

Man/woman stereotypes on the other hand are super deeply ingrained and even if you are conciously watching out for them and trying to avoid them you will inevitably fall prey to some of these. They are so ingrained that they are just subconcious.

For example, one of my kids had a birthday party. We were at some indoor playground and quite quickly the girls and boys of that group separated and each of the two groups did their own thing.

I checked in with the girls every 10 minutes or so, asking them if they are doing alright. After the third or fourth time I realized that I only did that with the girls, because apparently I subcontiously trusted the boys to manage on their own, but not the girls or something. So I stopped doing that.

Was the person shit posting to highlight the absurdity of bigotry by changing the perspective or where they genuine?

[–] wizardbeard@lemmy.dbzer0.com 18 points 6 months ago

Shit posting. It was a joke.

That used to be my discord bio but I got tired of all the interrogations from mods making sure I wasn't actually evil :(

Now I'm thinking of the Jello apocalypse bit where they were dubbing Sky's of Arcadia, "The existence of trans men prove we don't need women".

[–] wizardbeard@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 6 months ago

I think that's the stream I was thinking of, actually. Time for a rewatch!

Isn't that trans maxing? Forgive me I'm just trying to learn.

[–] cows_are_underrated@feddit.org 4 points 6 months ago (2 children)

I seriously have zero clue what "trans maxing" is supposed to be.

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 4 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Imagine an incel has dysphoria and no queer theory, common sense, or touch with reality. Transmaxxing is the byproduct of that.

Straight up shit like taking hormones and dating men in order to get laid because they can't get women

[–] cows_are_underrated@feddit.org 4 points 6 months ago (1 children)

So literally the kind of stuff a lot of trans people do before they realise they are trans. Yeah of course it is very cis to dress up as a girl, have a female name in your had "just in case" and wishing to be born a girl (dont worry someone who has this experiences could never possibly become trans). That's what peak denial looks like.

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 5 points 6 months ago

Yeah but through the incel looksmaxxing lens. And also often going way further without accepting thst they're trans than most denial stuff does.
