@hermit@Metamedia People have been scummy like this for a long time, though. I dated some women who were rather athletic/muscular and guess what always the #1 insult was they got to hear …
It might be amplified now, thanks to social media, but it has been around for 20 years at least.
@hermit@Metamedia It does and it isn’t the same ofc I just wanted to point out that being trans seen by asshats as something insulting has been around. Which doesn’t make it better in the least. Quite the opposite. It’s also a bit more than ignorance, bc it speaks to deeply ingrained transphobia already present.
I think the „trans panic“ in the US atm also fuels that to new heights. Nazis like to prey on groups that already have been made vulnerable by society.
