Cis people never show the slightest love to effeminate men or butch women, except when someone wants to transition, and then suddenly they just love them.

yeah so
all of society does every single thing in its power to force trans women to do exactly this
and then punishes us for that too!
So maybe go tell cis women to just be an effeminate man instead of who they truly are
itβll work just as well
WE ARE WHO WE ARE
It's transphobia because it's treating any potential "trans outcome" as wildly undesirable, as if human individuals must always conform to what society desires of them.

Every trans woman I know has had "why not be an effeminate man?" shoved in our faces for ages and yet thus piece suggests that even once suggesting an effeminate boy might be trans is some sort of crime against humanity.
This is transphobia.
I still want to know what exact sort of parent they think is uncomfortable having a gay child but totally fine with a trans one
Show me them

You get stuff like this because narratives about trans lives are given an undue degree of attention, without the participation of actual trans people, trans experiences, trans narratives.
The idea that no trans woman has ever been told she's just an effeminate man is absurd, but it's a byline now.
THE BIGGER PICTURE BEN APPEL Genspect NOVEMBER 4-5, 2023 DENVER, USA Ben Appel is a writer living in New York. His memoir, "Cis White Gay: The Making of a Gender Heretic," with Bombardier Books, is forthcoming. His work has appeared in Newsweek, Spiked, Daily Mail, Washington Examiner, Queer Majority, and UnHerd. Follow him on X @benappel.
From a Genspect article... We all agree that autogynephilia is a paraphilia that can cause dreadful harm to women. How to tackle this issue is where the conflict lies. Some people believe that all AGP men should never be allowed to speak; nor should they be allowed to show their face in public; indeed, according to many, there is no space where AGP men should ever be allowed to exist. Put simply, some people believe that they should either hide themselves for ever more or they should die.
Ben has done quite a bit of work with Genspect, and he was a panelist at their conference in Denver in 2023.
Thatβs this conferenceπthat afterwards the Genspect board had to write an article wherein they stated that their members wanting to kill trans people was going too far.
This shit always seems to assume that we're too stupid to know the difference between being mannish or feminine & being a man or a woman. I mean I know lots of cis people think we're stupid as fuck if only for "wanting to live like this" or "not knowing biology" but come on!

Below it, a subheader in a smaller font says, "If anyone had suggested that I might really be a girl, I donβt know how I would have responded." The byline at the bottom identifies the author as Ben Appel.
Babe, wake up. The Atlantic is doing the "they're transing the gays" conspiracy theory.

No one before Ben has ever considered that trans women might actually be effeminate gay boys. No one has ever suggested such a thing to us, repeatedly, in a bid to prevent us from transitioning, or developed entire typologies around the idea, or reinforced it in multiple academic fields!
03.03.2026 17:17 β π 1978 π 289 π¬ 62 π 104Honestly the idea that "you couldn't tell" has been a fear of cis men for millennia. We have writings from antiquity lamenting that you couldn't tell these "men from women". Passing has been a cis fascination forever. "Can always tell" is more of a modern cope in response to this fear in my opinion.
03.03.2026 17:53 β π 2 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0An idea the masculinist gay men obviously always hated & also like today jumped to the conclusion that only they were real & a "female-brained couldn't exist or should rein at least their behavior in to be more respectable.

03.03.2026 17:48 β π 2 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0They tended to believe that people became gay due to having been groomed & abused by gay men as minors.

03.03.2026 17:31 β π 9 π 2 π¬ 2 π 0That argument maybe made sense decades ago when gay people could have assumed that simply becoming a hetero of the other sex was easier to exist as but gay people have been far more accepted than us for a long time now.

right. it's also projection.
they want to convert trans women in to gay cis men and trans men in to gay cis women.
it's literally projection on their part.
Itβs also just an extension of the βgays have to recruit because they canβt reproduceβ trope. Itβs nakedly homophobic rhetoric repeated with an anti trans bent. Theyβre just constantly recycling old bigotry.
