    Maybe in the heads of trans people but not really. I understand it’s easy to think everyone hates you, but if you believe that, you are no longer open to seeing the alternative and you see what you expect everywhere.

    You can exist just fine but for some reason, it doesn’t seem enough to exist. Quite often trans people feel they have to showcase their sexuality, instead of just chilling and being cool with it like everyone else.

      I made a similar point in that if you look for hate, you can end up finding it even when it isn’t there.

      But this argument is weird:

      Quite often trans people feel they have to showcase their sexuality, instead of just chilling and being cool with it like everyone else.

      That type of “often” is an illusion, since you can’t know how large the group of people that don’t make themselves obvious is.

      And plenty of straight cis people engage in the exact same behaviour, broadcasting their sexual identity. It’s not something everyone wants to do, but it’s absolutely something everyone gets to do.

        That’s true. I have no idea about the size of the group.

        It’s just based on the trans people I have met so it’s highly subjective. For example, I saw two trans people on vacation in Italy wearing dresses, tons of makeup, tight clothes, open chests, and walking in a line like fashion models, looking straight ahead as into a camera.

        That’s what I mean when I say “showcase their sexuality”. They are proud trans people who wants everyone to notice them.

        I’m sorry to hear you are getting hate. Nobody deserves to be hated for how they look. But at the same time, we live in a extreamly superficial world. Quite an awful world if you ask me.

          What is wrong with that? People can dress however they like and if you don’t like it you can just not look at them, not really rocket science.

          Nobody deserves to be hated for how they look. But at the same time, we live in a extreamly superficial world. Quite an awful world if you ask me.

          Guy… you’re the one being superficial… you don’t get to blame your behaviour on “the world” that’s extremely pathetic. Own up to the fact that it is people like you AND you yourself that make the world superficial. Or are you too afraid to take responsibility for your own behaviour?
