You’re just right. Most people are really weak and spineless, and on top of that a lot of people are just plain evil. We constantly make excuses for the people who cause the most harm through bigotry and we’re all pressured into punishing anyone who decides to take action against bigots into their own hands.

I say fuck it all and do what I want which is the opposite of that. No more coddling bigoted viewpoints.

I appreciate you listening. I do expect you to be able to be more accepting of other trans people and to be stronger in the face of bigotry.

I think you are able to overcome these feelings.

The thing I probably feel the most about being a trans person is that I feel like I’m constantly being proven right that people secretly hate us. That I should trust my gut instincts when I feel that energy and protect myself accordingly.

Every post lately on every platform has this air right now. Of “how can I fit in more and avoid being outcast” and the answer to that question is meet the needs of the status quo. And the status quo right now is and has been “try to remove trans people from society”.

I don’t think there are answers that work that aren’t “stop being afraid of being trans”

If I’m nice will you leave my comment up?

If you act bigoted towards trans people, because you’re trans and can’t come out due to internalized bigotry, then other trans people notice and it hurts. You’re being hurtful.

Wow lots of flexing over a transphobe. I’ll celebrate when she actually consistently votes any better than her predecessors. Choke on your hope pill

Acting like people don’t “understand” imo is just transphobia. Your state shouldn’t have voted for bigotry. This shows cis people have failed their end of the social contract.

No more blaming trans people for transphobia period.

Edit: Because I wanted to make the message simpler.

Cis people harm trans people.

It’s not that they don’t get it, or don’t understand, or don’t know about it, the reason so much harmful legislation passes marginalizing trans people is because of the oppression by cisgender people.

Ew tell then to fuck off with that garbage

Everyone knows why and should call it out too. It’s bigotry towards trans people plain and simple. People expect us to be ok with being treated worse. That’s bullshit!

I have been following expectations less and less, it is really good for my quality of life and I recommend it personally.

I’m trans and homeless though so I never get hired and everyone treats me like a criminal by default anyway lol even though I’m clean and healthy they think I’m dirty and weird because of my recycled clothes and that I dress for the weather and comfort which doesn’t align with their gender expectations. I just treat it like a really good flea dip, everyone who treats me with kindness is more trustworthy.

I gave up on finding work in August when things didn’t work out with an amazing case manager. She could get anyone a job, the problem is the market was ignoring me outright. I got certified and tons of volunteer experience along the way but none of it was worth it or got me what I was looking for in life.

I’ve been learning how to live outside in the city and out in nature too. Learning to identify plants and forage. My partner is amazingly kind and supportive thankfully, although they often struggle too. It’s way more rewarding because these skills can carry me through the rest of my life and give me autonomy that no one can take away through outside pressure.

OP said “I tried to politely refuse”

Oh yeah man just keep making your most active political activist bloc homeless and poor by not addressing the harm Trump did. You’ll complain about us the whole time but never sit down, shut up, and solve the issue. The pipe IS leaking on social issues and it’s not YOUR economy only, cis cracker.

From a purely strategic standpoint the people like you in my family are seen as having chose the fascists over their queer family members, IJS. I don’t know how “bad” your family is, but I cut off my dad after he told me “n words are taking all the welfare” and I don’t talk to anyone who take his side on that issue. I’ve been called all manner of immature for that decision by people like you. But my dad is a racist chud, still is.

I mean they’re not entirely wrong but I hate that they think it takes blame off themselves. Like they were forced to do Trumps bidding or sign military contracts under the most evil military of all time. Nobody forced them at all though, they were fucking bidding for the contracts and gave half assed reasoning for why they MUST cooperate. Absolute henchmen goofball behavior

Negativity and Doomsday is when you remind everyone Hakeem and Chuck was just talking about handing these republicans their ass before they actually got the majority and now he’s all “nooo we can’t do revenge” because he always does that lol

And democrats get a neat little smug and a destroyed world for following it.

Oh go fuck yourself fascist.

Stop being vague, explain yourself and people won’t assume. Your post came off like democratic right wing trolling to me because you didn’t explain yourself. With how many people have taken this opportunity to push more harm on us, stop calling me aggressive for being skeptical. Fucking jerk

Because you DIDN’T say you disagree or think they shouldn’t of passed and that’s on people to do. I don’t know who you are and why you’re trying to frame trans rights issues as losing issues and could be doing it to harm us. Stop being vague. I and many others are rightfully assuming the worst of people. It’s for self protection.

What the fuck is OP talking about? I’m against implementing bans on trans people in sports because I’m not a weird fascist who loves hurting people just trying to enjoy a game. Am I supposed to be gleaming that OP is on my side? Because they come off exactly like every conservative in my life. You too.

You say enough said but your post is vague af. I assume the worst because you didn’t even bother to explain yourself.
