Anti Trans And Why It Fails

[I_am_not_mafia]

- Transgender activists are obnoxious.

I know. How dare they demand the same basic human rights as everyone else. It's a wonder why they just don't accept being erased out of existence to satiate other people's bigotry. It is so selfish of them to complain.

- The actual transgender population is a tiny minority. I know 1.6 million people sounds like a lot, but in a population of 326 million people transgenders represent a fraction of a percent of the population.

As usual an American thinking that America equals the entire world.

Q) Why should the actual transgender population size being relatively small be a reason for anti-transgender sentiment? How can this in any way be a justification? Do you think the same justification can be used for anti-semitism? For open bigotry against the disabled?  It's the fact that the population is small means they are more vulnerable.

Frankly, there are larger minority groups who face ACTUAL oppression that deserve more attention than transgenders.  

And what is ACTUAL oppression then and what gives you the right to draw the line? Surely being physically and sexually abused, forced sterilisation, denied basic human rights such as the right to get married or to use the toilet, work place discrimination forcing people into poverty, and all because of a medical condition that they had no choice over, surely this is ACTUAL oppression? Have you experienced oppression yourself? Ever? What makes you think that you have the right to determine whether someone else is being oppressed when you don't even know what the word means. If a small population is facing oppression to the point where well over 40% of them try to commit suicide, surely that is worthy of being called ACTUAL oppression?

- No majority will willing cede special rights and privileges to a mathematically insignificant segment of the population.

But why not cede basic human rights?

- The eagerness of the aforementioned transgender activists to label anyone who thinks trannys aren't really special at all as bigots and homophobes probably creates more enemies than allies.

Or you might just be a bigot with a sense of entitlement and privilege who wants to feel superior to some other group rather than actually better yourself as a person.
