RE: Looking to share some stories here with peoples encounters with trans identified people

( Spencer_Shayy )
I'm very fortunate in that my personal experiences with "trans" people are limited. We have two "transwomen" at work who I do my best to avoid, as they're both extremely creepy. One is a young man, a skinny little white boy who seemed completely normal up until he announced he's "transitioning" and my boss began fawning over him and giving him special treatment. I'm still so embarrassed for her. I liked him before, but now I can't stand the little pervert, and I HATE being near him. To say these guys make me uncomfortable is a massive understatement - they're the embodiment of everything evil in this world. The second one is a middle-aged man who dresses like a grandma and speaks in a falsetto that sets off my fight or flight instinct. I don't see him nearly as much, thank god.

Every "transman" I've had the misfortune of knowing was an awkward fujoshi obsessed with anime and especially yaoi. They were so fucking embarrassing. I'll never get over one who was my friend (and I had a lot of respect for her until she declared herself "trans") changing her name to the one she gave her Hetalia OC, who was, of course, an anime boy she paired with another anime boy. Never understood how someone could be OK with being that cringey.

One of my exes is a "transman" now. She was a little bit fujoshi, but she was sexually assaulted in the past, and I felt bad for her. I figured her low self-esteem and body issues stemmed from that. Until one day she dropped me because I wouldn't be in a polyamorous relationship. Now, I feel nothing.

I'm so grateful that I've never had to work with a TiM or TiF. That sounds like a special kind of hell. TRAs sure, but the kind where this topic seldom comes up. In California, employees have to take a mandatory sexual harassment training course that outlines "respecting gender identity" and implies that not being a doormat "socially accommodating" to these clowns is included under the umbrella of workplace harassment. I guess I'd get fired real quick then.

I have had no significant relationships with TiPs. I've seen them at metal shows and they are always dressed in fetish-like clothing and have a really pungent, funky smell to them. Also the bad hair as you mentioned is definitely another common trait.
