I understand that I am a guest in this subreddit due to being a man. I just hope that what I write resonates with anyone here. I've lost most of my friends (and my boyfriend) ever since coming out as a gay man who is against the trans movement, and it would be nice to talk to people who feel similarly about this.
I'm a milennial gay man. Being a gay man these days means that there's a ton of overlap with the transgender community, so you learn things about them. There's a lot of things that come with being transgender that the community doesn't like to talk about. SRS not really doing anything and usually causing more suicides, mental instability due to hormones, you already know this. But there's one thing that the trans community really hates to talk about that fully made me against the transgender movement. My apologies if this is the wrong sub, I'm new to saidit. (I'm usually on voat ever since leaving reddit and there's not many LGB groups there)
When you go on HRT, there's actual potential that your sexuality will change. Whether this is due to hormone treatment or their own delusions is up for debate. I've read posts on reddit from trans individuals who have documented this - TiFs who used to be straight women become now 'straight men', and my personal favorite, TiMs who used to be gay men turn into 'gay women', all thanks to estrogen.
So in essence, since TiMs are men, gay men who take these experimental hormones turn into straight men.
Literal. Conversion. Therapy.
There needs to be a bigger conversation about this. The same thing is happening to my ex, he used to be a gay man but ever since transition, they now identify as a lesbian. We don't talk anymore, obviously.
This is beyond fucked.
