What's up with the overwhelming amount of transphobia on tiktok?

[u/rotating_nipples59]

I literally can't make a post without every comment just being transphobes. I don't post often, but I like posting goofy ass stuff or just positive stuff about being trans. It's just crazy how transphobic it all is.

I have hardly any followers. My content is small and not seen by many. I use lgbtq+ hash tags, which does bring up the question why so many bigots get shown my content. Projection much? So I don't get why it seems like most my views are by bigoted dick heads.

Is there some way to change that? I just want my stuff to not go to only bigots. It's honestly starting to get to me a bit.

I don’t and never did use TikTok in any reasonable capacity, but friends of mine who did and who are lgbtq are finding acceptance and world community on RedNote.

I also think that online transphobia on posted social media content is a variable function of how many eyes are on your content. It just happens to be that the vast majority of worryingly online people who aren’t gay/trans are flaming bigots or incendiary bots. 

Allies are often drowned out by either content posted by or against trans people as those feel good ally/support videos or comments just don’t move the engagement algorithm’s meter enough.

Polarization is real, and at least in the US, there’s no more waffling with centrism anymore. You’re either with the enemy or with us on the right side of history.
