  We’ve always been trans-inclusive.

    I genuinely wonder whether generation of people who played female avatars in MMOs to get free stuff has put the seed of TERFdom and assorted other anti-trans stereotypes into a generation of people’s brains.

      Nah. transpanic jokes are way older then that. The reveal at the end of the first Ace Ventura movie is an example of that. Good thing the second movie is way better.

      If anything, guys playing as girls in MMOs would have softened the idea of trans people to a lot of people who would have never thought much about it.

        That’s… a good reason why when I watch Ace Ventura, I skip the first one and pretend there’s no third one.

        For whatever reason, I always remembered that being in the second film and not the first; I haven’t seen either since childhood, though, so they both just kind of blend together.

        A lot of the 4chan-esque toxicity around trans people is some mix of taboo horniness and misogynist commoditizstion of femininity.

        I don’t think either encourage trans-inclusiveness. The very term “Trap” implies trans people are attempting to exploit other people through their presentation.

  On the internet, anyone who claims to be a woman is really a man. Anyone who claims to be a man is really a child. Anyone who claims to be a child is really an FBI agent.
