You’re in earnest arguing that something is transphobic by default since it can’t be proven otherwise. Lol, possibly dumbest thing I’ve ever read online
Not by default, by explicitly dismissing the minority status of a majority-trans community simply because they don’t fit their expectation of a trans person.
If that’s the dumbest thing you’ve read online I have some really bad news for you.
explicitly dismissing the minority status of a majority-trans community
That sentence doesn’t even make sense with or without the context of this conversation.
I have some really bad news for you.
It’s that you’re going to keep one-upping it, isn’t it?
Take the fucking L and stop reaching for shit. I haven’t yet seen you make any point that stands. All you’re doing is trying to make yourself feel better by saying other people are horrible with the implication you aren’t. Pitiful way to live
“I don’t believe X” is not necessarily a statement about X. This is a prime example of it. They dismissed no evidence, they simply stated they don’t believe something that there’s plenty of reasons to find unlikely. ✌️
“I don’t believe X” is not necessarily a statement about X
Right, bigotry isn’t actually about the quality being marginalized, it’s about reinforcing a desired hierarchy using whatever distinctions are most convenient and salient. Hard to paint them as bigots when they themselves are minorities; easier (and far more rhetorically salient) to simply deny their trans identity altogether.
Nor does saying ‘i don’t believe it’ make that doubt any more legitimate and any less motivated by transphobic prejudice.

Just because you don’t understand it? I’ll rephrase it: “explicitly dismissing the trans-status of a majority-trans community”. Better?
That’s exactly what this community is lol

No one denied that, please leave me alone
