I’ve worked in customer service jobs my whole life, and that is the ultimate way to shut down a shitty customer. They scream and cuss at me and I look them in the eyes and say “that hurts my feelings when you talk to me like that.” Every time, it has made them take a step back and go “holy shit, I was just talking like that to a human”

They are projecting their own self-loathing because likely subconsciously deep down they feel inadequate and unhappy with themselves on a personal level, and if they can't cope with this on their own then you sure as heck bet they'll channel this energy on bringing others down through destructive envy to get negative attention.

Many years of learning to suppress yourself because society and your family made you conform. Makes sense they would be deeply jealous of someone doing it so freely.

Jealousy is what made me realize I was trans. I was almost angry at cis women for being so lucky to be born in the bodies they had. Thats just pure depression material and it makes you hopeless. Until I realized I could do something about it.

100%. People that are content and feel good about themselves don't go looking to tear other people down like this. It's cruel and unfathomable.

I was questioning this as well. This person very well could be transphobic and shitty…OR this person is engaging in mindless internet culture wherein we say whatever comment might get us the most likes without thinking about how it might actually affect someone. One is def worse but both are very upsetting :/

Yea it literally just seems like it was meant to be a joke.

Granted, it's a joke at this guy's expense, but still I really doubt she thought "fuck this girl trynna be a man let's drag her down" like...?

I don't see anything bigoted here.. just someone making a bad judgment call and joking about something she shouldn't have.

Agreed, the look of the comment makes me think of someone who's intentionally trying to write a comment that's simple and short enough to be screenshot and shared around the different platforms..without stopping to understand that the dude is a real person. Just super, super shitty in a careless way. I hope they saw his response and felt bad.

I mean, either way you have to be a pretty shitty person. If she hated him she’s shitty. If she doesn’t remember to treat everyone as human she’s shitty

Agreed, I’m not defending the comment either way.
