You should be able to ask "I want a CIS mate" in a dating app without being shamed.

I'm a transwoman and I agree with you on this. When I was dating, I was upfront and when a guy said it was a deal breaker, it saved both of us a lot of time.

Most guys I talked to said it was a dealbreaker, and yeah it sucks. It makes you feel "othered." But I can't expect anyone to go outside their sexual comfort zone for a rando on Tinder.

Most of the guys were very polite about it all, too. And that's all you should need to do.

If someone's shaming you about it, that's a good sign they have something going on in their own life. Essentially it's their problem, not yours.

Hope this helps~

Edit: I'm getting a lot of replies that seem to miss the point that I'm advocating -for- men...

As someone with life experience on both sides of this issue...

Seriously, this meme is bullshit. Yes, it is a fact that men are also on the receiving end of domestic abuse.

Statistically speaking, however, women get the lion's share of receiving it, while men are culturally groomed to be emotionally closed off. (At least here in the states)

Google is taking these statistics into account when returning search results in an attempt to get the most relevant information to the user.

Is that Google's problem or a larger cultural issue?

Does absolute equality in Google search results push the needle toward change?

Does posting a meme that highlights a "problem" lacking context (or purported purpose, as stated by OP in another comment) affect change in the way the issue is understood, or does it just serve to generate emotion and engagement?

If you (meaning anyone) genuinely want to affect change on this issue, you need to educate yourself on what's actually happening. Talk to your family and friends about it and lessen its impact on future generations.

Shit doesn't just change. We make it change.

Antivax people believe stuff like this.

My partner and I ran into one of my (adult) nephews friends at the store back in in the early days of the pandemic. We were talking about trying to get the vaccine, and he replied "I choose not to live my life in fear."

Oh? It seems like you're pretty afraid of the "jab" to me.

These people are oblivious to how stupid they sound...

Yes, but

I had a family member like this... They'd go off about how awful capitalism is, and the shit that goes with it (to which I'd generally agree) but have a house full of google home devices, brag about how much they buy on amazon, and simp for the giant megacorp for which they worked a retail job...

It woulda been funny if it wasn't so sad.
