Transgenderist Homophobia
The New Trans Homophobia
Transgenderist homophobia (The New Trans Homophobia) encompasses a range of negative attitudes towards homosexuals that is rooted in gender-identity ideology.
It is a new form of homophobia that has emerged, and while it has gone mostly unexamined, it is now growing more common. Promoted by gender-identity ideology, it takes many forms, but the two most common include:
While we do not believe all trans identified people or their allies to be homophobic in this way, it is very clear that this harmful rhetoric is becoming more and more rampant with the rise of transgenderism.

- Sexual pressure. It tells homosexuals they must sleep with/date trans-identified people of the opposite sex or else be seen as "transphobic" and bigoted.
- “Justified” homophobia. It incorrectly suggests that homosexuals who do not identify as transgender are privileged, and horrific homophobia from trans identified people and allies is actually a form of punching up for this reason.

Otherwise known as: Woke HomophobiaThis specific type of homophobia is shrouded by a thin veil of supposed 'enlightenment', and therefore it is also often referred to as "woke homophobia". It uses a language of inclusivity, shielding it from criticism. Examples include "deconstruct your genital preferences" and "genital preferences are transphobic". Real pressure exists to be anything other than the "wrong" kind of gay (or, exclusively same-sex attracted). Further, terrible homophobia, such as the examples on this page, is written off as a joke.

Conceptual CeilingsThe pressure on homosexuals to accept trans identified people into their sexual orientation has been brewing just beneath the surface of popular LGB and LGB&T culture. It weaponizes shaming tactics, moralizing the matter by suggesting a homosexual is bigoted for not sleeping with trans identified people of the opposite sex because the gay person "doesn't see them as a man or woman".
The resistance that trans identified people face when attempting to access homosexuals sexual orientation is seen as bigotry by gender ideologues and an obstacle they can simply overcome with enough conditioning, moralizing and shaming. A trans male coined the term “the Cotton Ceiling” (based on the original Glass Ceiling and referencing women's cotton underwear) and hosted a workshop titled “Overcoming The Cotton Ceiling”, which was featured by PlannedParenthood and described this resistance from lesbians. Now, homosexuals use these conceptual ceilings to describe the sexual pressure and the resulting homophobia from trans identified people for rejection. The Cotton Ceiling describes the pressure put on lesbians to date trans identified males, and the Boxer Ceiling describes the pressure put on gay men to date trans identified females. |
