well this sums up a lot.

there's arrows on the sides btw to see the multiple pictures.
(whoops this ended up very long, if someone thinks i should put it inside a spoiler please tell me and i will.)
ahaha oh please
i'll only talk about the """"""""heterophobia""""""""" and """"""""CIS"""""""" (why did the op put that in all caps uh) since it's the relevant part in the tread, but it doesn't mean the rest of it is unimportant
"hate won't end hate" except love and being nice to opressors won't end hate either. being nothing but nice to a certain group of people didn't stop them from punching me, spitting on me and laughing. it's not even close to the worst that could've happened.
homophobes and transphobes don't care if someone is nice, they are going to hate them anyways no matter what because
thats what they ****ing do
when i say i hate cis people i obviously don't mean every cis person ever. like who even assumes that(too many people that's who). i don't hate my sister, i don't hate my best friends who are cis and the only ones who actually listen, i don't hate cishet people that fight for lgbt+ rights without making it all about themselves, i don't hate cis people who are supportive to complete strangers(nos cis/het), it doesn't matter if i know them or not.
saying "i hate cis(het) people" is a lot shorter than saying "i hate transphobes, i hate cis people who absolutely refuse to take someone's pronouns seriously, i hate cis people who support lgb+ rights but are transphobic, i hate cis people who claim they support the whole acronym but go around and misgender and disrespect people all the time, i hate cis people who punish trans people by misgendering them, i hate transphobic non-het people, i hate cis people who think it's okay to use transphobic slurs", isn't it. that's not even the whole list
transphobia exists because of cis people. we as trans people wouldn't be where we are without cis people, because transphobia comes from cis people. there are tons of very nice, supportive, decent etc. cis people, but being realistic the only place where these nice persons are the majority is in certain parts of the internet. in the real world, transphobia is the default, and depending on where you live finding these people can be easy or very, very rare.
so it pisses me off when people say someone saying "how many cishets do u need 2 change a lightbulb" is the same as someone saying "tr****es are disgusting" (not saying you're doing that but it's related), because no. no it isn't. it isn't even
close.
however, i do think it's important to mention that i don't agree with someone telling a specific person/group (as in, say, 6 people) to die
just because they're cis, at all. honestly though, i've yet to see it happen for no reason. people "coming out" as cishets are ridiculous, and it makes me angry too but i still don't agree with the death threats and messages encouraging suicide etc. since those are inappropiate in any situation, really. this and transphobic comments are the only cases i've seen a cis person get attacked while having being cis as part of the reason.
i'm so, so tired of people thinking cisphobia and heterophobia are real.
