I know I need to be better.
But I have several transgender friends who I love dearly. When someone says they’re not people or they’re confused or they’re a “fad”, it makes me crazy.
I want to scream “HAVE YOU MET {person}!?! THEY’RE A HUMAN FUCKING BEING LIKE YOU OR I.”
Sorry #CoSo, I have tomorrow off so I’m drinking and getting moody.
@AI78 Pretty sure you're supposed to say things like that to cruel people who don't accept others. I hear that an airhorn works pretty good, too <3
@QueerCoven sorry, if you go back in my toot history today you’ll see I’ve been all worked up about this thing today.
It just drives me batshit that the people who should be trans allies are being shitty.
Fuckers.
@QueerCoven I don’t want them to have splinters so much as a revelation in how they are thinking and feeling about their fellow people.
Anyway, thank you all for letting me vent. It drives me batshit crazy arguing with LGB people about this.
@AI78 I know it hurts to be upset, and it's infuriating to be like "WTF?!" but I'm glad you're the kind of good person who does get upset about this. The more of us getting mad and being loud allies, the quieter the bigots have to be (and may they all get splinters under their finger nails forever!!)
