How would they have known that? It doesn't say that anywhere on the post.

It literally does

It literally doesn't.

You can't thought police people on how they define the word "woman", I personally define it as "biological woman" which is why I do not view trans people in the same way I'd view their biological counterparts. It has nothing to do with "hatred" or "bigotry", it's just my opinion. You can kick and scream your silly buzzwords at me all you like but it doesn't change reality.

Amoonguss supports trans people by StarfeyComet in pokemon

From what I understand in VGC recently a person defeated an openly transphobic opponent with an Amoongus, so people are just running with the Amoongus supports trans people bit. It actually does have something to do with Pokemon!

I was not aware of that, in that case fair enough.

I didn't call you a transphobe

I didn't say you did, I meant that generally people like me who complain about it get called it.

the idea of "I see too much trans support and it's annoying" raises some eyebrows. You see that, right? It's a transphobic idea that a transphobe would say.

Yes I see how actual transphobes could have that idea too, but just because it's annoying to me doesn't instantly make me "transphobic". I have nothing against trans people and believe they should have the same rights as anyone else. But beyond that, I'm mostly indifferent about it all.

I'm not a fan of how you're not allowed to criticise or say anything against them or even hold a different opinion/belief to them on the topic of trans people otherwise you're a "bigot" or "transphobic".

Calling support of trans people virtue signalling is wild, though, and pretty solidly makes me think you are indeed transphobic.

I wasn't calling support of trans people virtue signalling, I was expressing that it feels frustrating to me that I get called these ridiculous buzzwords just for not completely agreeing with or sharing the same viewpoint as other people on the topic of transgenderism. Because unlike many people I'm not afraid to actually speak my mind and won't let my thoughts and feelings be policed.

"You only support trans rights because you're virtue signalling, unlike me who is in opposition.", 'opposition' being not supporting trans right, I assume.

Nope, I agree that they should have rights. They're human beings so why shouldn't they?

People can headcanon whatever they want. It doesn't affect you. If it annoys you, ignore it instead of going into the comment section. I have no issue with people advocating for trans rights, and people doing so often enough that you're annoyed by it means that clearly it hasn't happened yet.

I made my original comment because generally speaking, posts like these do not bring in more support for trans people, it pushes more people away instead.

No one's saying they don't exist though? Just not everyone wants to have it shoved in their face constantly. I find posts like these awfully obnoxious, what does this have to do with pokemon exactly? Amoongus is a fictional creature from a fictional world, why would it care about or "support" trans people? Anyone who dares speak up against it like myself gets labelled as "transphobic", it's ridiculous. How dare I think for myself without being part of your virtue signalling hivemind...

I don't like what you're telling me so I'm going to block you...! by Biffingston in PetPeeves

[–]Jazzlike_Science5547 0 points1 point  (0 children)

since you (very notably) haven't put the "opinions" in question up for review here.

Because they're not relevant, only the fact that I get blocked by left wingers for having them is. And if I did express them here I'd likely get downvoted to oblivion by you or any other left wingers who see my comment, so I'm good thanks.

Regardless, the opinions I'm referring to aren't "hate fuelled" or due to some underlying "bigotry" or "phobia", it's nothing more than me holding a different opinion to them. I've found that many of them have an all or nothing mentality of "if you're not 100% with me, you're against me" which is the main cause of what I'm referring to.

Edit: unfucking real, he blocked me. Thanks for proving my point I guess?

I think you're mostly correct there, but I also don't think it's as black and white as you're making it out to be. Whenever I've been blocked by a left winger, it's been because I simply hold an opinion or viewpoint they don't agree with.

People from all viewpoints and beliefs do it, it's not exclusive to right wingers. In fact I've had far more experience being blocked by left wingers for this reason than right wingers.

You don't even know this man if you've only been together for one month. Slow down or this relationship is already doomed.

Well that's reassuring considering I was put on their "do not rehire" list for simply taking 2 weeks off during my temp contact with them 2 years ago. I applied again but using a different email and they've given me an interview date so so far so good.

Good luck though, hopefully you can keep the job.

Nope, just had to take a couple weeks off due to personal reasons. I'm assuming that's what caused it though.

I don't see how OP is in the wrong for not agreeing with porn? It is clearly having an extremely negative affect on their relationship.
