FWIW it's mostly a myth. People don't want to get beaten up or killed so they don't do it.
You are trying to apply logic to a group of individuals that are emotional thinkers not logical thinkers. A lot of these people honestly see themselves as women and that they don't need to tell anyone because "I'm a real woman and you are a straight man attracted to women". These people already excel at mental gymnastics, you are falsely trying to apply logic to their thinking.
These are the people that are aligned with groups that use "logic" like - "Don't teach women to avoid circumstances that lead to r*pe, teach men not to r*pe". As if men who are r*pists don't already know it's wrong and simply don't care.
You really think people that think like this, will truly put the onus on themselves to avoid making decisions that increase the risk of violence or death?
I don't, maybe you are talking about the older crowd, but the more accepted they become and the more emboldened and supported in their beliefs they are (the new generation of trans), the less they are going to take any accountability.
Listen, these people are illogical, the ones that confuse me the most are the men that transition to date women and be a "lesbian" lol. That is peak mental gymnastics. You already had the equipment and the persona that was optimal to be with women lmao. There was no need to switch.
It's the logical equivalent of someone wanting to be a professional runner, so they cut their legs off, spend months in a wheelchair recuperating and healing, then get prosthetic legs attached so that they can become a runner with the prosthetic legs, instead of the real legs they already had from the start. Which also significantly lowers number of races they can compete in, and how many people would be willing to run with them. The logic here is so ridiculously convoluted, I really can't stand it.
My pet peeve has always, and will always be illogical things (on any issue), it will always frustrate me.
The reason you hear a lot of stories about it, is because men who are attracted to trans women lie about it.
This just sounds like gaslighting to me and I think this is a myth. Maybe that excuse could be used in the past, but not today with how the technology has advanced and how much more difficult it is to tell who is what.
These beatings and murders usually happen in secret without anyone even knowing that they made the mistake, that's the point. If it was just about appearances, the beatings and killings would only happen AFTER the guy gets outed as being intimate with a trans, that rarely happens. Usually the guy finds out without anyone else knowing and acts out violently, then that crime leads to an investigation and everything comes out. It's not about other people knowing, it's about being tricked and feeling violated.
Honestly the guys you are actually talking about aren't "attracted to transwomen". There's no such thing, it's a made up term to define what someone is pretending to be. These men are gay (attracted to men), and having sex with a men who present as a woman is a useful tool for mental gymnastics, like giving yourself the plausible deniablity of "I'm not gay, they clearly look like a woman so I'm straight". Any man who wants to date women, would just date the larger percentage of the population that are women, not purposefully seek out the miniscule percentage of men pretending to be women. It makes no sense logically, those men are closeted homosexuals in denial.
These men who intentionally date transwomen are no different than the type of guy being portrayed in the video below, it's the same level of mental gymnastics. They are not straight, they just like the idea of being straight so they want to indentify as such, it's a persona for them, they feel respected in it. The entire world today has become a game of slapping on identity badges that are convenient to your tastes, regardless of whether you qualify for that badge or not (it's indentity theft, just general rather than personal):
If someone tells me they dislike bananas and they love ice-cream, but everytime I see them eating ice-cream it's just a little bit of ice-cream on top of a mound of bananas, I'm going to call BS on that lol. The ice-cream is just there for show, what they really want is to eat bananas without feeling like they are someone that likes bananas, and without being seen as someone that likes bananas (it's about self perception and appearances). People who like ice-cream and dislike bananas, would just eat ice-cream alone (especially if only 2% of ice-cream shops offer bananas with ice-cream).
That really wouldn't end well.
Same. If it was just a kiss on the cheek I'd let them off with a warning, mouth kiss and I'm gonna have to fight them lol. If we had sex, I'm gonna have to "take them out" on principle lol.
I honestly just count myself lucky. I mean they are only like 2% of the population anyways so it's not as if it's likely to happen. But If I can have a park to walk in that has land mines in 2% of the area, or a park that has 0%, I'd prefer a 0% chance of getting blown up while trying to take a carefree walk in the park. I don't want to have to think about possible land mines that shouldn't be there, but now I'm forced to because of 2% of the population.
@pixel_fortune
This is why I can never be in favor of it or support it. Heck some of them are getting their birth certificates changed
. There's no way you can say this isn't malicious lol. That's an undeniably deliberate attempt to deceive someone on a long term basis. It should be illegal. There is no reason to try and erase the past outside of delibrately trying to lie about it.
Having said that, I have a trans child in their early twenties who lives in my home.
Yeah, I'm never having children. Never wanted any but the more I see of the world today the more strongly I hold to this position lol. It's just not worth it anymore. I always knew I was born into one of the worst eras.
Why couldn't I have been born in the year 4000 or something so that I could experience all the cool futuristic stuff. I don't get to experience the old era of traditionalism, and I don't get the experience the era of super advanced technology either. I'm smack dab in the middle of this mediocre garbage lol.
