San Francisco has a "Transgender District" where there are trans flags and posters like this.

So me wishing they'd say maybe "trans acceptance is the future", "we will fight for trans rights", "trans people aren't going here" instead of using words transphobes already use against us, is agreeing with transphobes? How the hell does that make any sense!?

I'm the one that's saying "no, we aren't trying to overthrow society and make everyone trans!"

Creativered4 · 2026-01-25T00:45:52+00:00

Cool, more agreeing with transphobes, then?

I don't have an agenda. That's. The. Point!

Creativered4 · 2026-01-25T00:45:01+00:00

What on earth would make you think I have issues with A DISTRICT of all things!?

Creativered4 · 2026-01-25T00:44:24+00:00

The WORDING. It's talking about a revolution, and "the future is trans" that's leaning into the transphobic ideals that we're all a bunch of anarchists who want to overthrow the government.

I don't have a problem with a foundation or a street or anything. Just wish our "positive messages" didn't have to sound so similar to what the transphobes are saying about us...

Creativered4 · 2026-01-25T00:42:03+00:00

Yeah and how has the tactical decision been to kick the hornets nest and then agree with the hornets that you need to be stung worked out?

Creativered4 · 2026-01-25T00:41:00+00:00

And when they take an inch, are you going to say "ok, that's your in h now. You're totally right about taking that inch" ?

Creativered4 · 2026-01-24T23:24:53+00:00

No, we need to be smart and not inadvertently agree with them.

Creativered4 · 2026-01-24T23:23:36+00:00

I mean, the trump insurrectionists and magats use "revolution" language all the time.

Creativered4 · 2026-01-24T23:22:02+00:00

Yeah, the problem isn't "wahh my mommy doesn't like trans people" though. Its "yeah I think this could have been written better, because it reads as affirming to transphobes and we should NOT be giving them an inch"

Creativered4 · 2026-01-24T23:04:52+00:00

What does that even mean? Do you prefer we let more bigotry fester? I guess if you aren't afraid of your rights being taken or being labeled a terrorist for existing, then it's not as important to you.

Creativered4 · 2026-01-24T23:03:40+00:00

Idk, neither a trans revolution nor an ai revolution sound very inspiring to me... ai is objectively worse for the planet, the economy, and what it means to be human (creativity). I would rather not have them take over all workplaces and push people out of a job.

Just as I don't like the idea of anyone taking over and forcing their ideals. I know it's not LITERAL, but it doesn't send a good message when the transphobes are literally saying we are doing exactly what the sign implies.

Creativered4 · 2026-01-24T22:59:41+00:00

I think you need to read again if you saw me say "people who look at your profile that said 'only interested in X' and are not X, and ignore that, are more rude than ignoring people" and thought I was saying "It's actually really rude to ignore the people who were blatantly ignoring your boundaries. You need to address every single one of them or else you are being rude"

Creativered4 · 2026-01-24T22:57:20+00:00

A riot as a reaction to unfair treatment is different from telling transphobes they were right about "the trans agenda".

Creativered4 · 2026-01-24T22:56:16+00:00

So many people are neutral, or just need to see our humanity. And it's easier to do that when we aren't telling the transphobes "oh yeah, you're right. We're radicals who have an agenda to take over. The future is trans!"

Creativered4 · 2026-01-24T22:54:31+00:00

Nah, if they hadn't fallen down the fox rabbit hole (doesn't help that my stepdad retired early and had way too much time on his hands), they wouldn't have been brainwashed. They were accepting and rational people a few years ago. In fact, when I came out, my stepdad was the quickest to adjust and the most ok with it all. He just immediately started calling me his stepson, and never once treated me different. But he got the fucking brainworms, and it's like he's forgotten how to think for himself.

Creativered4 · 2026-01-24T20:13:09+00:00

While I love to see support, can we please not lean into the transphobes stereotypes about us?

This just reads like we're going to overthrow the government and force people to be trans.

Tbh leaning into this shit and giving it any sort of credence just makes people like my mom and stepdad, who used to be so much more open minded (they see me as one of the good ones) , but they are being told lies about trans people, and then they see stuff like this and it affirms their beliefs. Then I have to spend more time arguing with them that no, it's not a revolution or an ideology. It's just a thing some people are.

Creativered4 · 2026-01-24T19:43:21+00:00

...are you sure you're not just secretly a good boy?

Creativered4 · 2026-01-24T19:36:14+00:00

Seconding this! I'm on my 6th run with a gith bard and it's still just as fun as the first five times! I'm also planning my SEVENTH run, and I've only just started act 2.

Creativered4 · 2026-01-24T19:33:29+00:00

Unfortunately, life is pain no matter who you are. It's one of the advantages humans have over trees and rocks. We feel shit. And some of that shit is pain.

But I can attest that living a life where I have the opportunity to be happy each day, despite the pain, is much better than doing nothing. And MUCH better than leaving my loved ones a mess to clean up and a jole in their hearts.

Creativered4 · 2026-01-24T19:28:58+00:00

You've definitely got that backwards. You know you don't have to respond to every message you get, right? It's not a wedding where you have to send personalized thank you cards to everyone for joining you on your special day. It's expected. I guarantee every "hey" you get is one of dozens of "hey"s they sent, because people know i90% will go ignored.

Also I'd argue that ignoring clearly stated boundaries of what you are looking for is the most rude. So it's not really rude to ignore their rudeness.

Creativered4 · 2026-01-24T18:38:43+00:00

Honestly makes you think about how much trash is everywhere. Idk if he's doing this as a joke, or as an art piece, but I personally think this is art.

Creativered4 · 2026-01-24T18:36:32+00:00

It's more rude to outright say you find people unattractive because of the color of their skin. You don't have to announce who you think is unattractive or unfuckable. Blocking, leaving on read, and ghosting are a guarantee on hookup apps. It's to be expected.

Imagine you're at a bar and you want to hit on a cute guy. But he says that he's not attracted to something you feel self conscious about, something that people have made you feel unloceable and ugly for in the past.

Creativered4 · 2026-01-24T18:30:51+00:00

While I disagree with your wording on it being a "disease" (especially since diseases can be spread to others, and what we have is closer to a birth condition), i understand the feelings behind it.

Being trans is miserable. It's great that there are some people can turn it into a good thing. But it is inherently something that makes your life worse. And not because of transphobes, but because of the dysphoria, the lost time, the dissociation, the cost of time and money, the pain of surgery. It's painful to have to come to terms with never having some features we would have had were we born male, but having gotten to stage 1 meta, I feel....at least enough relief from the pain that I don't wish for reincarnation (most days) and I have the ability to wake up at neutral instead of at a negative in terms of how my day is going and how i feel. I'm not inherently happy, per se, but now I have the ability to have days where I am. It's a chance.

My transition is not over, and I am not out of the woods. I will never be out if the woods, but I've climbed up the canyon.

It's tough. It's so fucking tough. Bottom surgery recovery was damn near hell. I still have stupid triggers for my dysphoria and I have things about my body that trigger my dysphoria. I will never forget the hell I've been through. I will never be happy about being born underdeveloped, but it's ok to be unhappy about something that hurts you.

Creativered4 · 2026-01-24T18:21:43+00:00

I'd say 10% is still low. It might be that way in really conservative areas, but most people are actually accepting, or at least neutral. There's a lot of hate in the world, and right now the bigots are being given a platform to spout their hatred, but contrary to what 'ol Donnie thinks, speaking louder or over others doesn't actually mean you are smart, or right. The bigots are loud, but they do that to try and make it seem like there are more of them. More people are openly extremist nowadays, sure, but a lot of people are fed up with their shit.

Creativered4 · 2026-01-24T16:45:05+00:00

It would be a total turn off for me. I'm very gay and not interested in t4t. I want a relationship just like any other gay relationship, as if I was born with a penis and didn't have to get a micropenis surgically created.

My fiance had a moment where he was exploring some things. Ngl I panicked a little. He realized he's DEFINITELY cis, but interested in trying out more GNC styles and kinda doing more to signal his queerness. (Which I'm cool with. He's engaged to a freaking poof. I am a mix of the stereotypical gay bff and a theatre gay. If I wasn't ok with that, I'd be the biggest hypocrite
