I can’t work out if I’m surprised or not that men’s attitudes towards transpeople have deteriorated faster than women’s. My bubble is so overwhelmingly focused on TERFs being the only people who hate transpeople that I’ve missed a lot of the phobia in toxic masc spaces.
It seems to me like some of the hard core rioght of centre males. Felt like there ideals were dying out. And like animals backed into a corner. Came out fighting.
Add to that the effect of social media over the last 20 yeas. Where the most non wsupported views can easily get a voice. Forming groups of like minded idiots supporting each other.
And the typical effect of teenagers looking to question general views.
Without the internet. These ideals still seem to have relatively low % of support in large groups.
Most are more of the opinion.
“Cant say I understand the feeling. But its not really my concern.”
That said most of us who are cis/het but support. Dont understand but still are happy to except and fight for others rights to be themselves.
Broadly good news, well, unless your trans.
