What’s the most transphobic thing someone’s said to you or a friend, and how did you react/what was your comeback?
#1
One of my best friends is trans, and his school friends act like nothing’s changed, and refer to her as him. I just give “the look,” and refer to her in a correct way. One of them even said that “something’s wrong” with the way she is, and I just told him to have some respect for people’s decisions in life since they’re not in the position to judge what’s wrong or not.

One time me and my friend wanted to play 4-square with the other kids, so we got in line. One boy said that I could play but my friend couldn’t because they were “weird since they were trans.”

I put my pronouns (they/them) in my Kahoot name, and this kid had the audacity to pretend to put his pronouns down too but instead he wrote nor/mal and i- anyways I then proceeded to absolutely crush him at both kahoots because I’m fueled by the hate and confusion of transphobes.

I was at lunch with my old best friend and we were on the topic of LGBTQ+, and I was talking about non-binary people and gender-fluid people, and he stopped me. I said, “what?”
“There are only TWO genders.”
God, I’m so glad we’re not friends anymore, I just realized how transphobic, homophobic and misogynistic he is.

I am really sad to say i have made transphobic comments to one of my old friends, When she first came out to me as trans (She was born a male) I was kinda shocked and just said i didn’t believe her, now i feel really terrible for treating her like that when she told me. My parents don’t support LGBTQ and so i live in a place where lesbians are “disgusting” and its “Not natural” to be anything other than straight, and at that time i didn’t realize i was bi yet, so yea thats my transphobic comment story :/

This boy on a bus said that they’re the father of my brother’s child, so my brother said this(btw he’s not gay),”I felt that gayness, daddy,” then winked. The boy was shocked.

My dad misgendering a trans girl in a tv show multiple times then calling her dumb because “he is a boy pretending to be a girl” and “people who want to do that do it either for attention or “because it’s just a phase”
