I hope this isn't considered to be against the rules because that's not the intention, but I'm working on an art piece about being queer and the interaction of that with the global social environment. I'm coming up blank on things people have said to me to try and say I can't be trans because-. I would also like this to be a fun space to share outrageously hilarious "insults" we've received. I will go first. I came out to my mom and she said "I wish those things from men in black were real so I could forget we ever had this conversation". Devastating at first, now just kind of funny.

Someone who knew me pre transition
"You look so good! Like, I think you're attractive. But I still wouldn't date you" and it was purely because I was a trans guy.
I laughed and decided it was ignorance. We don't talk anymore lol

My favorite reply to this is to laugh and say "Yeah, don't worry you're definitely not my type! Maybe if you got plastic surgery in these areas -insert random features here- I'd consider it" or something along those lines

"are you sure you're not a lesbian?"
I was out as bi at the time (and now i know i'm aroace)
"what if you're autistic?"
Nothing would change
"people will find out just how awful you are."
If I'm so awful I'd rather find out sooner and work on it..?
[after I told a story about using the men's bathroom for the first time ever and nobody making a big deal about me being there] "maybe they weren't saying anything to be polite."
Why are you trying to ruin a good experience? I'm trying to share good news.
"you look just like your grandmother when she was your age!"
Except that I have a visible rat-stache.
All of these came from my mom
she has been supportive, but it was a LOT of work to get here. definitely not perfect yet. i think it's progress now that she keeps forgetting that we have the same glove and shoe size now that I pass more (she keeps thinking my hands and feet are bigger than they are and gets surprised when we have the same measurements). admits that I pass as a guy now.

"We need to talk about your pathological need to be different," said to me by a therapist.
Of course the usual "why can't you just be gay/butch?", "but you like insert feminine thing here", "but you wear insert feminine article here", etc.
Plenty of cis men saying they wanted to take me outside and beat me up to show me what real men look like
"I don't even know what you like anymore," said by my mother, after my interests changed exactly 0%.
"You look too good to be trans, are you sure?" - yes I am sure I was born with a vagina.
And the all time best:
"Did Sonic the Hedgehog make you trans?" - said because I have had a Sonic obsession since childhood. Obviously I just wanted to be a boy so I could go fast

"No" -my mother when I told her I was trans. She did not elaborate on this and it feels like saying "nuh uh" in a different font

Mom: You know women can be masculine right?
Me: Yeah women can be masculine men can be feminine.
Mom: Women can be masculine men can be.... not into sports.
Me: I don't think I have to be a man because I think I'm too masculine to be a woman. No one is telling me I'm to masculine to be a woman. I just know I'm a man.
Mom: You're too feminine to be a man.

I love seeing people refusing to play along with them.
