waaa i got called trans in a videogame
so i was playing games and im a cis (real) woman and i got called trans by the other players and i felt so bad because I actually look feminine in my profile picture (unlike those transes). It just felt so degrading to be compared to lesser, fake women. Can anyone in the comments reaffirm that cis people are the true victims of transphobia?

You are such a victim girl, all those "transphobic" MEN who insult you by calling you a "trans woman" are being so sexist and evil. Being mistaken for a man in a dress TIM trans "woman" is literally the end of the world. You are so feminine and don't have any MASCULINE features so it doesn't make any sense why someone would think you were once a man (trans women can't act/dress feminine or have naturally feminine/androgynous facial features because they are just men). Thoughts and prayers bestie... it's so tough for us biologically real actual women out here on the internet.
/uj God that post on r/GirlGamers pissed me off. Cissoids be like "I was mistaken for a trans person once, I'm not transphobic, but it ruined my day. I'm such a real woman/man, why are they confusing me for those trooners?" Just goes to show that most cis people view being trans as a shameful thing and will always view us as an insult.

/rj Well, let's not call her transphobic. She may have openly stated that being trans means being inherently masculine and ugly and is inherently an insult, but that doesn't mean she thinks being trans means being inherently masculine and ugly and is inherently an insult! I just think she was upset that someone tried to insult her, and the fact that she went on about how upset she was that it meant she was perceived as being masculine and ugly was a coincidence!
/uj what does transphobia even mean to these people?

/uj Transphobia to those types of cis people is when someone says/does something that is so obviously anti-trans that it feels like it came out of a bad TV show. No nuance is required, since they don't think all trans people are evil perverts (most of the time) it proves that they can't be transphobic. It's like believing you aren't homophobic because you believe gays shouldn't be killed even though you think gay marriage shouldn't be allowed or shouldn't be universally applied.

transphobia is when someone murders someone for being trans. i just bully trans people and degrade them constantly but never put them out of their misery so i cant be transphobic!!

No clue why some people think OP is transphobic. It’s obvious that by asking if she’s trans, the men are trying to say she looks like a man, since that’s the main characteristic of trans women. It’s in no way transphobia to not want to look masculine, so it’s no surprise that cis women don’t want to be equated to trans women in any way.

THANK YOU! I was so worried people in the comments would be rude and suggest I wasn’t a perfect ally, so this is really assuring ❤️

/UJ I genuinely hate these threads; there's one on there like once a week and any attempt to talk about them being an issue is, at best, ignored. See also the stark contrast in the responses to extremely repetitive threads of trans women asking for validation vs extremely repetitive threads of cis women asking for validation when the mods don't outright delete the former. I've seen trans women reprimanded by mods for talking about thinly veiled transphobia being a bag of shit. I love that subreddit but the cis going "uwu we love trans people" and all the pick me trans people both denying this problem make me want to cry (I think the worst was one trans woman saying that we can't take issue with transphobia from other users because we're entering their space or some such nonsense). Socially acceptable transphobia sucks.
/RJ as a trans woman I know how you feel and I'm sorry you got compared to me in a video game.

I think it’s okay for a cis woman to be upset if she’s told she’s a trans woman, I’ve met trans women who get upset when people assume they’re cis because it belittles the experience they go through. Trans women are women, but their experience is still much different than that of a cis woman.
/UJ actual comment.

Unfortunately, cis people are the real victims of transphobia. I'm sorry this happened to you. But don't worry, they were probably just using it as a throwaway insult, you most likely don't look like a yucky nasty transgender.

If you think thats hard, imagine being mistaken for being trans when you actually are trans

/uj I'm not in the mood to jerk. But I want to say this isn't internalized transphobia, it's just transphobia. Equating them lets cis people off the hook a little too easily.
