i’ve said it before and i’ll say it again. transphobes are terrified of butch trans women because the idea that a trans women would not wear makeup all the time, would not wear dresses all the time, and wouldn’t even have a desire to do that DESTROYS their worldview in which trans women are just men who like to dress up as women. they’re so attached to these crazy stereotypes of what they think trans women are that this really scares them. they can’t comprehend trans gender nonconformity because it shakes their base assumptions.
this is why when transphobes encounter a trans person who isn’t exactly like this imaginary idea of trans people that they have in their heads, their reaction isn’t “oh wow maybe i was wrong, maybe all trans people aren’t like that after all. maybe 0 trans people are actually like that. maybe after meeting all these people who don’t fit the stereotypes i should reevaluate my beliefs.”
nope. it’s always violence. because trans women are always a threat and they refuse to think critically about this for even 1 minute
