I feel really guilty about my transphobia like I'm outwardly cool with people and I'm understanding it better now but still I think transphobic things sometimes and then feel ashamed of myself for thinking them when I know logically they are wrong.

[(Anonymous)]

Yeah, same. It bothers me that I'm really nice on the outside, and kind of intolerant on the inside. :(

The first trans* person I met was in college. What I thought was a guy came up to me & some mutual friends and chatted with us in the student union building, wearing a skirt and whatnot. Really nice person, but I was weirded out at the time.

I like to think I'm not actually transphobic, though I haven't met another trans* person (that I was aware of) since, other than this angry hooker person who got on our bus and started picking fights with EVERYONE for about two stops. I'm sure I'd have hated that person no matter the gender identity...

One thing to remember about any group is disliking a repugnant individual from that group does not automatically make you bigoted against that group on aw hole.

Nobody is immune from censure, regardless of race, orientation, religion or creed.

Even as a trans guy, it took a while to work the majority of my internalized transphobia out of my thoughts. Society in general is pretty unaccepting of transgenderism/transsexuality, so we end up with a lot of negative shit nesting in our brains, making itself at home without being questioned terribly often.

The only thing you can really do is examine your own thoughts each time something like that comes up, and tell yourself why what you're thinking is wrong. You may never get to a point where you don't automatically think transphobic things, especially if you're not around transgender folks a whole lot, but you can learn to be respectful and not let those initial thoughts cloud your judgement c:

Honestly? I think you're on the right path. You know that you're wrong. It takes some time to completely get rid of that ingrained reaction. Hell, it took me years, and I am trans. (It's just that mine manifested mostly as internalized transphobia that, rather than making me feel guilty, made me despise myself.)

So... weird to say it, but I'm glad that you feel guilty.

I have this weird thing where I'm not actually transphobic, I just don't fucking care whether a person is trans* or not. So you believe you're male but were born in a female body? Fine, you're male. Whatever. Have a nice day, I don't actually care about your private parts. I also don't care about your sex life.
(That goes for everyone. I don't care if your boyfriend hasn't fucked you for a week, no I don't know if that means he doesn't love you anymore, you're just sitting next to me in the class once a week - fuck, I don't even knwo your name!)
