    "Trans panic attack" is when somebody panics about themselves being possibly gay and reacts violently on discovering someone else they were attracted to is trans.
    "Passing more" would help you "get" "trans panic attacked" because it doesn't really happen unless people initially think you are cisgender.

    Not sure what rules are about /r/transgendercirclejerk style posting here, it should probably be tagged at least.
    It is like /r/ImGoingToHellForThis but for transpeople doing jokerfied humor, ironic transphobia, and making fun of TERFs.

    I have spent perhaps too much time reading and posting there in the past.

      So was the joke trans panic + panic attack? I've heard of gay panic so i assume trans panic is similar

        Yeah, basically. It might have been just a pun, and I spent too much time on /r/tgcj but:
        it is also "funny" that some trans people get panic attacks from worrying about being assaulted like that.

        Edit: /r/tgcj idea of amusement is like: ooffff this hurts me, i feel something, yes! :} like dwarffortress fun
        Edit: or is that more like a trans panic attack panic attack. and if you're afraid of panic attacks you could get a trans panic attack panic attack panic attack. does it go on forever?
