I'm not even surprised by this.
Though generally liberal, there are quite a few (mostly male) redditors who are misogynistic, homophobic assholes.

Whatever. They're not getting an apology from you, bitch. :)

I think they are violently repulsed because of repression. If you were their shrink you would probably find that many of those people's initial reactions was that you were striking and attractive. Upon peering a little closer they realize that you are not actually a woman and they get totally freaked out that a second ago they were actually thinking about boning you. This is followed by hateful and irrational rejection of the entire situation, so they don't have to get so confused again!

I'm not so sure the 'lipstick affect' works for everyone, I think it works particularly for guys who actually look good with lipstick on ...

Keep up the good work anyhow ...

I should qualify by saying that I think on the whole you're probably right although its a windmill that seems pointless to try and tilt. :)

I would be willing to bet that a statistical analysis would show that the number of people giving zjones hassle actually represents a significant proportion of the people.

Well, look at all the down votes of the negative comments... that tells a different story.

I don't see how you can dismiss the most upvoted comments in that thread as not being representative of the overall community's attitudes, while concluding that because other comments were downvoted, they were "rejected by the overall community".

Reddit as a whole is incredibly supportive of gay and trans people. Your comments are cherry-picked and even then 7 out of 11 of them have negative karma meaning they were downvoted and rejected by the overall community. There are about 300,000 people on reddit. Congratulations you found 11 comments and attributed them to everyone.

Thanks for spreading lies. You can delete this comment but you can't delete the fact even the LGBT subreddit knows what's going on.

unfortunately, there are those who will not view or treat an indiviual as a person but rather filter them through a personal belief system! We grow more knowledgeable by listening to what each person says, every one has a story to tell if we wound only listen. instead there are those who only "hear what they want to hear'!

As a reddit user, I find it worth noting that many of the stupid and ignorant comments you quote have negative karma points, meaning that if we are going to generalize about what "Reddit users" as a whole think, they don't approve of such drival. Which is not to say that I don't also find the existence of such stuff abhorent. But it's not generally supported on the board.
