I am not surprised. The push for recognition will generate pushback. And the more they appear in media and sports, the more pushback there will be.
EDIT: I don’t know why you’re downvoting me for stating an obvious fact.

Anti trans sentiment as defined by Pink News*
MightyHydrar on
Trans acceptance is going down just about everywhere.
I wonder how much of it is backlash to the way pro-trans activists the last few years have been pushing really hard, really fast? In some ways, pushing faster than general societal opinion followed, leading to a pretty big disconnect between what activists thought public opinion was, and what the average person really thought. I also wonder how much of an impact it had that activists were pushing for children to be allowed to transition, even against their parents wishes?

Why does anyone care about this ? No teenager is randomly identifying as trans and risk getting bullied at school, it’s like all these old people have forgotten what being a school going teenager was actually like.
1/3rd of people oppose the mere existence of trans people?

I swear I will start a social media campaign against…. I don’t know…. bus drivers.
With a million dollar I can create riots where idiots are hunting bus drivers on the street.
People are so fucking stupid.

We’re a manufactured boogeyman meant to distract people from the rich cunts pilfering people’s pockets. Everything they say about us now, they said about gays a generation ago. And when they give up with us, they’ll move to another group

No surprise here. With all these new regulations and enforced political correctness and censoring free speech, it was just a matter of time until people were fed up. Just using the wrong pronoun or creating memes counts as hate speech in England. So yeah. Free speech isn’t just “one of our values”. It is the very foundation of Western civilization. To limit free speech is freaking dangerous and you better have VERY good reasons to do so.

Well, send your thanks to far-left that goes around, harassing people over it, come up with stupid ideas and then get mad when you reject them, calling people names when they disagree with some ideas etc.
You go to people spaces, you f**k with them, you antagonize them and you are surprised that they are no longer willing to tolerate you?
We are the majority. We tolerate you. We want to be polite. We don’t want to make your life difficult. But we expect you to behave and be respectful. And be reasonable.
When you are not, we stop being reasonable. And guess who in the end have the power to help you or ruin you.
Take lesson from Americans. Far-left there was getting really obnoxious. What happened? At some point democrats lost support. Trump won EVERYTHING this time and with couple executive orders he undone all progress Americans made regarding trans folks. And corporations You were thinking have your back dropped support for DEI, pride month, black history month and other things overnight. F**k, they even started pretending that Gulf of Mexico have different name.
And remember – you can push. That’s how you turn people to your side. But if make people angry – there will be a push back and it might be more than you can handle. Americans learned the hard way. Don’t repeat their mistakes.

Personally, I have nothing against such folks. If anything – I’ve had a massive amounts of understanding and compassion for their struggles as being different. I know how it feels, from personal experience – for other reasons, but same in effect. What caused my support to dwindle and wilt is mostly because (but, not only) their unwavering intolerance for any kind of questions, logic, sense I was trying to make out of all of that. It was either you accept all that we say without any further questioning or shade of a doubt in any of our claims or we proclaim you hater, phobic, bigoted and whatnot. Labeling me generously. If I dared to ask about e.g. ten years old kid being really able to make irreversible decisions about their medical condition, I felt like I’m Shrek surrounded by angry villagers with torches and forks. I never felt or declared as a right-leaning person, but their reaction to my genuine curiosity was always met with slew of labels that would make real right-wing folks seem as members of Mickey Mouse Club. It really was that utter intolerance that affected my tolerance. I still don’t hate any of them, nor do I wish them anything I wouldn’t wish for myself or people I care about, but I really feel it went too far now.
Plastic example: you know that kid you accidentally or purposely slap on their wrist and they wouldn’t only slap you back, but slap you twice, thrice, ten times, punch you, bite you, kick you in the teeth, suffocate you, flay you alive if they could? That is how most of the times it felt debating with them. Too much intolerance, toxicity, resentment, anger – all in, full throttle.

Why is the world so focused on trans, what’s the angle?
They are like 0,001% of the world population I don’t get it!

I’ll suggest a lot of people are just tired of being told that they are wrong and that they are horrible because they can’t adapt to the correct speak of the week. There were so many absolutes foisted upon people and to even ask what todays correct answer was led to virtual screaming (on social media, not the real world). There was no forgiveness, no understanding that people not involved in trans things couldn’t keep up, let alone make it higher priority than daily life, that people just got sick of it all. IMHO.

I don’t get this. Are trans people actively a threat to you? No. So just let them be. This is bonkers.

anti-everything sentiment is increasing. The social and political climate is getting worst, and people feel the need to hate on everyone and everything and blaming anyone for the issues that is happening. We have a long way to go until we get back to having empathy again and stop hating everyone

This should be a moment of reflection for the Trans community.
However, it’s easier to just point at people and call them bigots. Which is precisely how we got here in the first place.

No one gave a fuck about trans people a decade ago, but the news focus and activism today is totally out of proportion with the number of people affected.
There are more rockclimbers in the UK than trans people FFS.
People aren’t reacting to the trans people themselves, but what feels like another political bandwagon – like BLM, the twats who glue themselves to the road, or the shitty Palestinian marches that gum up high streets every few weeks.

I’m 45 years old I have never once taken part in, or been asked to take part in one of these ‘nationwide polls’ and don’t know anyone or have ever met anyone that has either. They’re meaningless guff that target certain types of people knowing the results they’ll get so they can get clicks/views whatever you want to call it.

Yep when shit hits the fan pick the lowest hanging fruit that makes up under 1 percent of the population.
Keep smiling up and kicking down.
Complaining about your own high rent, bad salary and horrible work hours but doing nothing about it cuz your all so gosh darn disgusted by the existence of… Trans people.
Not billionaires, Not mass rapists or mass murders, not the company that’s rejecting your insurance based on whatever tiny print you failed to read etc but ofc… The trans people.
Cuz they really must be at fault for everything that’s ever happened to you.
