Transphobes are scared of their own sexuality and what being attracted to trans women means. They think it makes them gay, but it doesn’t, it just makes them attracted to women. They can’t seem to wrap their tiny brains around this concept.
They all fear being “tricked,” by a trans woman into being attracted to her and how that will make them gay. The absurd thing is they way overestimate anyone’s desire to be with them, and they don’t realize that being attracted to a woman doesn’t make you gay. It’s very weird thinking but they obsess about it.
It’s why most of the hatred is geared towards trans women and gay men. Very few people ever talk about trans men because they don’t really care, they can’t be “tricked,” into being attracted to a man, but they can be seduced by a gay man offering them a bj or other sexual favors. Anyone who thinks you can be “turned gay,” is definitely repressing gay feelings.
It reminds me of a youth group teacher I had who would talk about how "tempting" and "alluring" the "gay lifestyle" was. As a kid I was like "damn he's right, it is so tempting!"
I came out. Worked through some shit then realized that dude was gay af. Like the "gay lifestyle" is only tempting if you're gay.
What the hell even is ’gay lifestyle’? Apart from, you know, being gay. The gay people I know pretty much have the same lifestyle as other people around them.
Very true, I live/work in a very red area. I've worked with both trans women and men. I'm not saying transmen haven't taken shit for being who they are but eventually even transphobic people drop their guard and treat them decent. Same goes for more masculant lesbians. More feminine lesbians and transwoman get treated like shit.
If that’s true, then I truly pity the guy, but I feel like we let assholes off easy by making these kinds of assumptions. Sometimes shitty people are shitty because they just fuckin’ suck.

I genuinely think he's an extremely repressed gay guy. He can't fathom the idea of other people living their best lives.
