The purpose of the Transphobia Project is to help trans people (and our allies) respond to transphobia on Reddit and elsewhere. We connect people who are affected by transphobia with people who express transphobia.
Why? Because the effects of transphobia are catastrophic:
A staggering 41% of [trans people] reported attempting suicide compared to 1.6% of the general population, with rates rising for those who lost a job due to bias (55%), were harassed/bullied in school (51%), had low household income, or were the victim of physical assault (61%) or sexual assault (64%). source
We are organized because we are fighting for our lives, and because otherwise we are overwhelmed: both numerically and emotionally. We need each other.
If you feel for whatever reason that you are unable to offer an effective response to a particular instance of transphobia, that's ok -- just post a link. That's why we're here.
If you're not certain that what you're posting is “truly” transphobic, * that's ok too.* The closest cases are where our voices are most likely to have a positive impact.
Experience has shown that our most effective responses to transphobia are usually:
polite (without equivocating),
informative (often with citations), and
humanizing
So please, try to be cool.
We are not a "downvote brigade." We ask and expect people to exercise the same “redditquette” that they exercise elsewhere. Our goal is to enlighten, not to antagonize.
We've gathered some helpful resources here

I 14F would like to think im a good person who is well rounded fair and has a steong understanding of emotions and morals But for some reason i feel the need to almost protect or gatekeep my woman/girl hood? Like no man or somone who was once a man will ever understand it and i know its bad i know trans woman are just trying to live how they want and that's fine i hope their happy! I'll use their pronouns but some part of me thinks "you'll never really understand being a girl though" and i don't like that about me why am i so protective of a shared experience and especially ethel cain her music connects to me so much but for some sick reason i almost dont let myself listen to it because shes trans shes trans and somehow feels what i feel? Does anyone have and input?
So I was told about this channel called “Tomorrow’s teachings” and at first I thought it was a funny satire of Dhar Mann but oh god I was so wrong. Just watch it and tell me what you think. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HFY4Ja8gnV0
WE DID IT GANG! Like I said Im not trans but that sub disgusted even me and im glad its dead.
Im not even trans and it pisses me off
Before we start: Trans Rights
When I was debating on asking this question on Reddit, I was initially going to ask if there were any 'good' transphobic pun. After a few days of brainstorming I couldn't think of a single transphobic pun. There were ones where the punchline was the F slur, but the set up was aimed specifically for people who use that word as a means of being unapologetically gay in a way that breaks from traditional monetization, rather than transphobes
This might be a factor of transphobes not being creative, but it's such a weird realization that there is nothing funny about this. Not just in a Serious Topic kind of way, but more so that you can make jokes about anything in a positive or negative light and you could have some form of humor attached to it. I'm not going to give examples, but it's funny jokes told by a bad person. Except in this situation, the only 'joke' the bad person has to offer is 'You know how a boy is a boy and a girl is a girl? Hahaha'. That's not even observational humor, that's just an observation from the point of view of said bad person
Tldr: Are there any transphobic puns at all regardless of quality?
In S8 E4 "Triple D Goes Tailgatin'" of Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives, at about 3 or 4 mins in, Rick Larson name's his dish the "Lady boy Thai noodle salad". Who even names a dish that!
My dad and I were talking about J.K. Rowling's tweets.
All I heard was that they were transphobic in some way, I never saw the actual tweets.
Now, my dad brings up how apparently there was a Trans female boxer who smashed the skull of a biological female boxer.
Then, he jumps to how Trans women aren't real women?
Apparently, he has a Trans coworker who tells her classes about how she's trans (and my dad tacked on the she's apparently a "trans activist" or smth.)
I don't know if my perception of this is warped due to my parents, as my perception of other things has been warped as well while I grew up.
Thoughts?
Hi enby peeps! I'm Eyemèr, a non-binary trans queer musician from Belgium. The past year I dealt with a lot of online transphobia, like many of us did. I Just wanted to share with you my new song I wrote about receiving hate just for being transgender/queer. I hope it can empower someone out there 🙂 ♡
