I do think that’s part of it, though I wouldn’t even necessarily call it closeted. A lot of very vocal transphobes are uncomfortable with finding some of us attractive.
Here we must also acknowledge the reality that one of the consequences of centuries of forcing trans people into the margins of society is a long history of trans people resorting to professions of desperation, one of which that’s become particularly associated with trans women being prostitution.
That has led to many people seeing trans woman as inherently sexualized. Add in how people and society interact. And this leads to our very existence being seen as sexually explicit. And this can lead even some people who have no gender or sexuality repression going on and have never found themselves attracted to us seeing us that way.
They can’t fucking stand that they are required to hide whatever seriously fucked up thing that they are into, and think everyone should have to suffer.
Yeah, I think it’s this. It’s cope to try to make a normal thing be seen as disgusting, so whatever actual disgusting shit they’re doing, which always seems to be pedophelia, doesn’t look so bad in contrast. It’s like a preemptive both sides
These people are some of the shittiest people in the US. It boggles my mind attacking people who do NOTHING to them except exist
Why do we allow these people to exist comfortably? They brazenly flaunt that they want to kill and imprison people and we just let them.
My theory is that anyone who’s bothered by gay/trans/etc people is a closeted something and doesn’t want to be reminded of their own insecurities.

They’re terrified of seeing an attractive woman and later learning she has a dick, ✨ making them gay ✨
Its not gay if shes attractive.
