I think you should talk to trans people in real life because these “circles” you’re talking about are made up of about fifteen people at most tbh

This is the kind of post that should’ve just been a comment/direct response to whatever odd person was saying it

No offense but i think its a reddit issue rather than a broader community one, I’ve been in other subreddits that definitely allowed interesting (borderline bigoted) takes before but a lot of that kind of stuff blows up as discourse but is forgotten in a week, im sure its similar in like toxic facebook groups/other platforms too, hell ive seen toxic takes blow up as discourse on here too, sometimes its jusr the wake up call you need to take a step back and find other forms of community

I'm not on reddit and I have genuinely had a difficulty finding trans spaces that are comfortable with my presence - online and in-person both. Tell me why the trans affinity group at my college started setting up events "just for girls" that was everyone in the group (including enby ppl which like, I hope they were comfortable with that??) except the trans men. Like I hate generalizing & I'm not saying this is a one way thing at all, but a lot of ppl find reasons to exclude others

It was really weird 😭 we're all still friendly with each other, but uhhh very strange? I unfortunately don't hang out much with them anymore. I've seen the same thing happen in other contexts where trans groups "coincidentally" become just trans men or just a-specifically-presenting-type-of-androgynous. I will stick with my general trans spaces but idk why folks feel the need to do that

Yeah I get keeping your distance at that point, I’ve had to take similar measures before too, at least online theres a block button but when it’s irl trying to navigate that can be so awkward,

My college and my high school did this, like what’s the point of calling urself inclusive if excluding people is the name of the game
