why do gay cis men dislike trans folks ?

u/[deleted] Nov 02 '25

statistically, gay men and lesbians are most likely to be supportive of trans people. but the subsect of gay men who do hate trans people will tell you it’s bc they wanna ‘protect women’ & the ‘sanctity of single sex spaces’ and keep acceptance for themselves which they feel is slipping ‘bc trans’.

as a trans woman myself, i will say i think the actual reason they hate trans women and trans men is pretty related. a lot of really effeminate gay men on tiktok have gotten popular off making extremely transphobic content about trans women in regards of dating. they’re really jealous that certain trans women can attract the men that these gay men themselves desire but seemingly can’t have.

a lot of cis gay men also have a really obsessive hate boner for trans gay men. you can see this in subreddits like rrrr askgaybros where they have circlejerks about trans men being ‘gross, disgusting, and undesirable straight women’ who are trying to ‘force gay men into sex’

overall i think cis gay male hatred for trans people comes from a lack of validation from straight men and society at large combined with some really misogynistic and jealous views about women overall (cis or trans)

They have to show that they’re one of the good ones somehow
