Why do some people block all trans women?

By (user no longer on site) OP over a year ago

Why do some men feel the need to block all trans women? It feels like a very extreme thing to do. To hate a group of people so much that you'd block all of them, without even having met them.

Because they’re not looking to meet transwomen. I have no problem with that.

I block, women, tv/ts, mf mm and ff couples, and men.

I unblock men when I want to receive mail from them.

I only unblock everyone else for forum related stuff.

Because they aren't sexually attracted to trans women, at what point does the idea of "hate" enter not being attracted to someone?

Darling, you really need to calm down a bit. I know you think you’re trying to help trans issues but these past few days you’ve done nothing but stir the pot. I hate to say it but you’re really not helping the cause.

Equality means you get treated the exact same way as everyone else. Which means being blocked in some cases.

It's probably a good thing that there aren't sub categories as well. We'd be blocking people of a certain hair/eye colour or above/below certain height/weight. It's about personal preferences, I don't find men sexually attractive but I'll talk to one in a pub, yet I have them blocked

Just because you can’t message them, doesn’t mean they have specifically blocked trans women. They may have men/couples and trans women blocked as groups because they don’t want messages.

I normally have all except single women blocked.

To be fair, I do not think it is about hatred. Just preference.

That said, trans women experience a lot of prejudice and judgment in today's "tolerant and non-judgmental" society - I can genuinely empathise that they might be a touch sensitive to any potential suggestion of exclusion. (Not meant to offend!) x

Be philosophical I say.

Both the Fabs are huge, I've always thought that many people block others just to keep it simple for them.

Outside of 'forum cowardliness' it's a long time since I've been bothered by a block - essentially they make things simpler for me too.

(I can be annoying sometimes when people diss you on the forum then block you though, as you know they've had a good gander of your profile, and you can't necessarily avoid them for a time too!)

Wow. Being blocked isn't hatred.

I have trans (men and women) blocked. Do I chat away in clubs? - of course. No hatred to be seen.

I don't want to play with females so I block them and couples the majority of the time.

Do I hate cis-women? Hetero- couples? No.

Am I saving their time by not spending it creating a message for me only for it to inevitably be deleted? Yes.

Same as age or locality preferences. It's saving everyone's time. It's not personal. It's not hate.

I'm not to everyone's liking and I have to be ok with that. Makes for a more peaceful life.

Are you actually trans btw? If you are a less-committed TV perhaps, or a CD like me, you could re-join with a Male account. (if that makes any difference - I'm not sure how you glean this information anyway?). Likewise fully transgendered transwomen could always re-join as women.

I have all men blocked because I've no interest in chatting to them privately.If they have something they want to say to me they can do it here in the forums. That's nothing to do with hate and everything to do with using my time on here productively.

I have all women under the age of 40 blocked as well because I've no interest in chatting to or meeting anyone close to my daughters age. Once again a practical choice not based on emotion.

I've never chatted to a trans woman or man, I don't know a single openly gay or bi person and don't have the time or inclination therefore to educate myself by chatting.

That's all a conscious choice, none of which involves hatred of any description.

I am absolutely not making a judgment on anybody. I have clearly stated that I do not think blocking is a sign of hatred or exclusion.

That does not mean a trans person (or any other minority) will not feel excluded.

For me, empathy with the minority does not mean I feel how they feel. How could I if I do not know what it is like to be trans?

"Why do some men feel the need to block all trans women? It feels like a very extreme thing to do. To hate a group of people so much that you'd block all of them, without even having met them."

Don't be a drama queen, no one hates by blocking. More likely they want to meet a woman & not a man who believes he's a woman so by blocking they ensure they can bypass and not waste time.

People block people for many reasons, stop playing victim.

At a guess; uneducated and thinking that every trans person is going to hit on them. I guess they have ideas above their station, and have never heard of like, actual conversation"

I really don’t think it’s this. If it is would be more likely to be the minority of cases. It’s more to do with preference. For example I block single guys because I do not wish to be propositioned. I have nothing against guys who seek guys, it’s just not for me. And I don’t think all bi/gay guys are going to hound me either. However the downside of blocking is that any genuine male friends I have can’t message me here. And I can’t be bothered to unblock temporarily ect… and my mates have the same block too.

Oh well, at least there are the forums to navigate around that.

It may seem pedantic, but is the OP actually trans?

TV's (and CDs) are not transwomen (TS), it's just that the Fabs have placed TV and TS together. They are often quite different things though.

I'm pretty sure that the OP is a TV or CD, and (unless they are transitioning) I get uncomfortable when some of those people describe themselves as 'transwomen'. (it doesn't happen that often).

For me, transwomen are women - but formally denoted by the term 'trans'. They should have women's rights, but must first have (sensibly) transgendered first. Otherwise it all makes fuckall sense to me, and any pisshead perv in a wig can get involved (and believe men I know men who are exactly that).

"It may seem pedantic, but is the OP actually trans?

I don’t feel this matters (but perhaps may wanted to help educate), as rightly pointed out the different types cd,tv,transgender are combined into single category (TV\TS), and it’s that single category on the “preference” settings being blocked by some men that has kicked it off this discussion.

Now should fabs categories still be setup this way for the trans inclusive community, no but this is an age old argument, and raised many many times on other legacy threads…

I would consider myself an ally but don't see the problem with blocking certain people you are not interested in sexually. If you are on the site to meet women, and advertise yourself to women, why do you need to allow trans-men and cis-men to see your profile? You should have autonomy over who sees your body.

I don't block trans people or cis-men from seeing my profile personally, but I do think people should have the choice over who does and does not see their pics. The same way I think you should have control over who can message you. It doesn't equate to hatred for those groups.

It is rather relevant, Nora, because the debate on being blocked or not, feeling hated even if though this may not be the case and the whole issue of making this kind of diversity one for discussion and debate ... I think any conversation around accepting people for who and what they are is worth the time, effort and occasional frustration on all sides.

If people don't want you talk to you, they don't have to. There are plenty of women who I've chatted to on the forum (and really like!) who have women blocked. Doesn't mean they hate women. They just have no interest in meeting. I have somehow managed to live through this rejection.

I know we've been off site for a while but it never used to give you a reason.

Has that changed now? I'd be pretty pissed if Fab now told people why we'd chosen to block them. Sometimes it could have been for something as minor as bad punctuation or not conjugating a verb properly. Or for having hairy toes.

My question is relevant because some of the posts on this issue, underlying or spelt out, have revealed prejudice and creating a problem where in my opinion there really isn't one.

Somebody felt that blocking Trans people was offensive. I do not think that blocking people is offensive because on this site it is about being practical in what you are looking for and whom you wish to meet.

BUT... it does not stop me from empathising with people who do feel marginalised. Simple really?

Definitely. It's like saying why do people have all men blocked without having met them.

Nobody owes anyone a conversation, nevermind a meet.

Smells like a "poor me" attention seeking post created to divide people.

Not a nice trait at all.

Indeed. The post kicked off on a hostile note by the op, essentially by being the very thing it's accusing others of.

People gave very valid reasons, the OP either ignored or gave no valid responses to why they disagree with what the responses were. Shutting down any discussion or respect for their own personal cause. You don't win support by throwing hate at those you want to accept you or your way.

The causes of marginalised groups are not advanced by complaining that people who don't have a sexual interest in them are allowed to filter out messages from them.

If the site allowed people to block that category alone, I'd understand the grievance but that inequality in site filtering is not the case.

Call me naive but I really struggle to understand why we cannot just accept that some people are different and leave it there? It should be possible?

I agree but that’s not really relevant to the thread. It’s pretty much accusing people who don’t want to meet trans people as hating them. That’s not acceptable.

This is about people being blocked because of preferences, nothing more.

You’re essentially saying people shouldn’t have personal preferences for fear of upsetting somebody who is outside of what they’re looking for?

So what, I should have to suck blokes off so I don’t upset gay guys?

What a load of absolute shit.

I accept that you dismiss my opinion as shit and tbh it does not matter to me, nor does it change what I think or feel.

It would make sense if this was a thread about that.

But it’s not.

So you’re just harping on about something completely irrelevant to the subject at hand.

The people who filter out those they don’t want to meet? What’s the point in filters then?

Men that don’t want to meet trans?

Why are you not looking to meet women?

Why do you hate lesbians?…

I assumed this was a complaint about being blocked manually from viewing profiles. If its about private messaging people who have no interest in you, it's even more nonsensical."

That's exactly what it's about. It's impossible to block a whole group of people from viewing your profile but you can block from messaging

Who?

The people who have a right and a choice to block whomever they wish for what ever reason they wish?

I think you will find that makes you ignorant

"Why do some men feel the need to block all trans women? It feels like a very extreme thing to do. To hate a group of people so much that you'd block all of them, without even having met them.

To be fair, I do not think it is about hatred. Just preference.

Just as you show yourself, right here in this post.

You are the one here expressing judgement and a lack of tolerance.

You are the one pointing the finger whilst shouting the term hatred, all because of preference, using a tool that is available on this site.

There are many reasons people may choose to block a certain category of profile here, and it isn't all revolved around you.

Maybe take some time out from here, take a deep breath and come back when you're ready to accept others for what they are and what they choose.

I have no idea what the OP is going on about because you can't physically block every single TV/TS. Well maybe you could but it might take a long time x

That is a bit judgmental, would nt you agree?

I could equally argue that you simply do not grasp what I was saying... but I am not saying that. I am saying thought that we need to just not overinterpret/ analyse everything.

In this specific case to be very clear: I disagree that blocking a group of people is judgmental, it is a preference on this site.

Do I think that people can be oversensitive? Absolutely.

Do I have empathy for those that because of other experience outside Fabs, are very sensitive to certain topics? Again, yes, I do.

My bad. You really should be able to stop people who don't meet your gender and genital preferences from viewing your profile though.

But it does make sense though.

It contributes to the overall discussion, and makes a valid point.

To paraphrase:

Whilst blocking does not in and of itself denote hatred, it is entirely possible that someone (especially someone already feeling marginalised) could interpret a general block as such (albeit erroneously in most cases)

There.

"It may seem pedantic, but is the OP actually trans?

TV's (and CDs) are not transwomen (TS), it's just that the Fabs have placed TV and TS together. They are often quite different things though.

Very true

I'm pretty sure that the OP is a TV or CD, and (unless they are transitioning) I get uncomfortable when some of those people describe themselves as 'transwomen'. (it doesn't happen that often).

Again, true

For me, transwomen are women - but formally denoted by the term 'trans'. They should have women's rights, but must first have (sensibly) transgendered first.

This is where things get a little more complicated

Otherwise it all makes fuckall sense to me, and any pisshead perv in a wig can get involved (and believe men I know men who are exactly that).

I am NOT a pisshead

--This is kind-of a problem with the whole debate imo - people often agree about the fundamental things (which is great), but when it gets starts to get complicated if gets difficult and people can take things a bit personally. As I say, I'm talking about some men I've met in my life, I'm not referring to anyone here at all. But it's a big thing imo.

I just feel like those type of men (and there is not 'soft' way of describing some of them) are often imo ignored to kind-of simplify the 'complicated' part of the debate. Ie it makes it a bit easier to say that people (everyone?) who say that they feel they are (trans) women are women.

In my view we have to have a sensible definition of what a transwoman actually is.

She does, from time to time and would welcome your contributions on them if you feel so inclined.

This is not intended to sound condescending, it honestly is not as I value all opinions even if they are polar opposite to mine. That is what a healthy debate is about. You really can be friends with people who differ in their beliefs.

This is a site for swingers. You should have control over who can or cannot message you privately. The same supposed biggots can have those conversations in the live chatrooms, forums or on a site not specifically for swingers.

In the west.

I block gay fellas from sending me messages, I don't hate them, in fact I don't hate anyone.

I'm blocked from viewing many profiles, as most of us will be, I don't think those people hate me.

Hate is a very emotive word and it shouldn't be used when you don't know the audience you're addressing and are trying to engage in a meaningful discussion.
