Trans women look like women, men want to fuck women and they usually arent picky. Men wanting to fuck the leggy blonde with huge tits and a penis just made them gay. How dare she make them gay!.

I think it’s really just as simple as they are different and people just don’t like things that are different. Compounding the fact is a lot of people don’t have any first hand experience interacting with a trans person and so believe what theyre told through their favorite media source.

Its a trick to focus your attention away from your real enemy

Rich people haven’t figured out how to profit from their existence so it’s not allowed.

A few bad people who hate others because they think putting others down means they win picked a fight on the playground. They got other people on the playground to join them because they yelled the loudest and some kids thought that the louder you yelled, the more right you were. The people they were yelling about just wanted to be on the playground too, but the yelling people didn’t want them on the playground, so despite the fact that they didn’t want to, the people being yelled at played a competitive game against the people who were yelling.

After a long long long time (LOTS of sleeps) the yelling bad people won against the people they were yelling at.

The yelling people didn’t know what to do then. They only knew how to be angry and they couldn’t find anything else or anyone else to yell at and people were starting to leave their team because all the excitement was gone and there wasn’t a competitive game to play anymore.

So the bad yelling people panicked and started randomly picking other, smaller groups of people on the playground to yell about. They made up things about them and told lies.

It didn’t work at first, and they tried telling lies about lots of different groups of people one after another, and eventually they started picking on some people who were JUST different enough that some of their old yelling teammates who got bored and left believed those lies and joined the yelling again. There was SO much yelling and it was so much louder that it was impossible for anyone near the yelling people to hear the truth.

And that’s how we got from “abortion as an issue” to “trans people as an issue”.

Alright, literal 5 year old, I’ll give it a shot. Fair warning, most kids get these lessons in pieces over time, because attention spans. I don’t know what your metaphorical 5 year old has learned so far though, so, sorry for the wall of text, but I think we have to start from the beginning:

---

Well, kid, you know how your parents always tell you that it’s what’s on the inside that counts? And that you can be whatever you want to be when you grow up? And that it’s fun to do things different sometimes?

And you know how some children are boys, and some children are girls?

Well, in very special cases, when a baby is born… sometimes we only think they’re a boy. They might even look like a boy.

But later, when that baby grows up, and learns how to talk, and tells us how they feel… it turns out that “boy” was really a girl on the inside all along!

And sometimes we think they’re a girl, but they were really a boy on the inside all along!

And sometimes they don’t really feel like a boy or a girl on the inside! Just remember that it’s what’s on the inside that counts. Whatever they look like on the outside, it’s what they feel like that matters most.

Sometimes, when we call someone a boy, but they don’t feel like a boy, that can upset them. If you know it makes them upset, then it’s not nice to do that. It’s not nice to call them names they don’t like, even if you think you’re right.

Well, there aren’t a lot of children like that. They’re very rare. Most boys feel like boys on the inside, and most girls feel like girls, and they grow up to be what we always thought they were. There’s nothing wrong with that!

But because they’re so rare, most people have never met a special kid like that. Most people have never seen a child grow up to surprise everybody. And sometimes… sometimes adults don’t like surprises.

You know how sometimes you’re afraid of the dark? And sometimes you think there’s a monster hiding in the closet? But you come find us, and we turn on the lights, and we check your closet together, and we show you there’s nothing to be afraid of?

Well, adults can be scared too. They can be scared by what they don’t understand. Sometimes, when they get surprised and confused, they see monsters where there aren’t any, and that upsets them. And they get upset at those children, even though the child did nothing wrong.

That doesn’t always make them bad people! Sometimes they never learn, but sometimes it just takes time for that poor kid to turn on the lights and help them see there’s nothing ro be scared of.

But sometimes, there are mean people who play tricks on those adults. They make scary noises and trick those adults into really believing in the monsters. They make those adults think that it’s what’s on the outside that counts, and that those special kids are like the monsters in the dark. But that’s not nice.

It’s not nice to scare people… but not everyone is nice all the time. Sometimes people are mean. Sometimes people like to lie, and cheat, and steal, and that’s not nice. We don’t do those things, because we don’t like it when people do those things to us.

You know the boy who cried wolf?

Sometimes, those mean people make those scary noises and pretend the monsters are real, and they cry wolf, even when there are no wolves… and it works. Those confused, scared adults come running, because they don’t know any better.

The story hasn’t ended yet, and they don’t know that there is no wolf, and so they keep running to chase it away, because they don’t know it’s all a trick by those mean people.

They can’t see what’s on the inside, and so they think those boys and girls are the ones being tricked, and they get angry and scared and they do all the wrong things because they think they’re the ones who are right.

It’s messy, and confusing, because sometimes things are messy and confusing.

But what you need to know, more than anything, is that it’s what’s on the inside that counts. There is no wolf to be afraid of when people are different or surprising. We can’t see what’s on the inside, so the best we can do is listen when someone tries to tell us how they feel, and do our best to be kind, and make them feel happy.

Fascism cannot function without scapegoats, and trans people are the smallest minority group. Once they normalize persecuting the smallest group, they move up to the next group which is slightly larger than the previous. It’s the Nazi playbook.

It looks like autistic people are next, based on RFK’s bullshit.

Ironically, I think it’s actually rooted in the same cause of what makes trans people exist in the first place. Identity, who you are, is core to… well, who you are. It’s important. And gender is important to who you are. Not being who you are hurts, a lot. It can hurt so much that it can drive someone to suicide. We know this— this is the whole reason that accepting trans people is important, right? Not doing so can literally kill them in this way.

So is it so strange that non-trans people hold the same depth of conviction about keeping their same gender? “Oh, but why can’t they just accept that other people need to align their mental gender with their biological sex?” Because they don’t understand or believe that this is what is happening. Really. You know the thing where not having these thing aligned can KILL you? Well, they view being trans as actively CAUSING this state, deliberately inflicting it on someone. And that social pressure and acceptance of trans people is encouraging and/or driving more people to this horrible state of affairs. It’s killing more people!

It doesn’t help that it’s been hijacked by the culture wars to distract you from the class war and authoritarianism. But it being hijacked doesn’t mean there’s not a core misunderstanding, and it’s not a misunderstanding that can really be corrected or educated by simply saying “trans people exist”. Identity runs too deep, and threats to it are too scary— they can kill you, and kill you in a way far more terrifying than a bullet. Mere words and slogans are not going to cut through that fear. You need a foundational framework of understanding the world.

And that’s where the hijacking and red vs blue political nonsense comes into play. The culture wars doesn’t create the visceral fear of trans people— but it sure as heck makes it harder or even impossible to fix.

Envy.

Rowling is upset that she’s had to endure a lifetime of misogyny, and envious of men. When she sees trans women, she assumes they have it better than her because they got to be male, and gets mad at them for not enjoying having what she wants.

Steven Crowder isn’t trans, but he does have a crossdressing fetish, and he’s mad trans women get to do his fetish all day long. He wants that, but he can’t have it because he’d eventually feel dysphoric.

Andrew Tate is furious that nobody thinks he’s pretty. He has to traffick women in order to get them to have sex with him. He wishes he had the attention that women get, and he’s mad that trans women are “males” who get to be pretty. He doesn’t want to be a woman, but he wants someone to find him attractive.

Donald Trump just wants to be the center of attention. He doesn’t hate trans people, but he knows attacking them gets him attention. He wants to be in the news.

Donald Trump is a bully. Bullies like hurting people. They find someone different who can’t fight back, and attack them first. They try to get other people to hate those who are different and can’t fight back. Donald Trump is a bully who has decided trans people are different from others and can’t fight back. He manipulates other people by getting them to attack trans people too

Homophobes lost the culture war around gay folks so now they’ve moved on to the next group they can abuse.

Rich people want you to focus on people who can’t defend themselves well, so you’re looking away while the rich people are stealing money from you.

The Patriarchy is weakened when gender is not absolute.

When the Patriarch is threatened hatred is the response

Actually I don’t know anybody who hates trans people. Tbf it’s a pretty dull subject.

People need something to hate, decided to pick trans since they probably did zero research, decided “BoYs iN GiRls LocKeR RooM BaYuD!” And let the hate roll. Anything to make a bigot feel better about themselves, and misery is good company for a group of shitty people.

What they should focus on is all the hatred and rape and child molestation within the church
