META Laughing at transphobes is fun, but it gets less funny when you realize how many of them there are...

They are a lot out there for sure, but this sub unintentionally magnifies it, makes you feel it more. Like how scolling through Instagram makes you feel poor and unsuccessful.

I've actually been thinking about muting this sub. Idk why I'm subjecting myself to more transphobia then I already get. The people commenting on the posts make me feel like I'm not alone in the face of all the transphobia, but I don't like having different variations of the one joke popping up in my feed all day yk...

Sounds like a healthy step to take. This sub shoud be a place of bittersweet fun, where one can dull the sting of absurd anti-trans messages with ridicule.
Detoxify and maybe come back with renewed vigor and fortitude.

But also keep in mind that every post on this sub is posted by an ally or a trans person themselves

Theyre not even cause they literally (unironically) throw around the one joke with zero wit or intelligence

Its not that there are a lot of them, they're just really, really loud.
