Apparently a “troon” is a possible slur for a non-passing trans person. Can also be used for a “fake” trans person.
Somebody correct me if I am wrong, I had to look that up.
Yeah it’s a special kind of slur in that it was developed after hating the target group stopped being socially acceptable and it hasn’t really breached containment so it not only says you’re a bigot, but that you’re like actually invested in your bigotry and spend time in spaces specifically dedicated to hating on trans people.
I don’t understand - doesn’t OP say his GF is trans? Why would they hate on dad going trans?
My guess is it’s a case of a so-called “passing” trans person hating a “non-passing” one. Possibly because it reminds them of the time before their transition, or they view “non-passing” people as not really trans, or they’re selfish and don’t want to have to change the way they think of their parent? I’m not trans, so this is just speculation.
It says nothing about hate.
I wish we had an expression (that I could think of) with the opposite connotations of “turnabout is fair play”
