My daughter’s America has become apocalyptic — safe states scattered, broken up by vast stretches of hostility

How people can choose hate and fear as a form of self-righteousness is the peak of narcissistic self-delusion. There’s nothing noble about being a bigot. There’s no honor in persecuting innocent people simply for existing. And it’s the epitome of cowardice to try to destroy that which you do not understand. These people live in a state of perpetual terror and outrage with regard to the world around them, yet they arrogantly presume to tell everyone else how to live? How dare they.
I couldn’t agree more. Your statement is so pointed that I’m going to save it to refer to in the future.
the entire transgender movement is filled with bigots though. most are super transphobic.
The trolls are here, hold the line men!
my mans got obliterated by the downvote railgun
doesn’t make me wrong though lol. people are just mad because I happened to disagree with their intolerant religion. The reality is that people who advocate for transgender stuff adamantly deny that transsexuals like myself exist.
Oh geez it was you who posted that. Now I understand what you meant, but your comment came across as a 4channer troll arguing in bad faith. People are really sensitive about that stuff rn because politicians are literally pushing to have them executed for existing in public.
lol no they aren’t.
They… really are, Otome. If you pay attention to what’s going on in Florida, where they’re trying to make peeing in a bathroom that a child happens to walk into a sex crime against a child, and sex crimes punishable by death by an 8 person majority of the jury.
We might disagree on the ontology of gender variance, and we can have that debate, but they want everyone who doesn’t fit in their black and white, either or boxes, and that includes you as surely as it do me.
Saying, “I’m not transgender, I’m transsexual!” will not save you. Nor will Blaire White’s pick-me videos. There is no way to appease them beyond being cishet all your days, and you aren’t. I wish that it was safe for you to go on believing that, but it’s not, and I really don’t want you to be hurt.
What the fuck does that even mean??
Now I’ve seen you share a lot of bad takes since I joined this site, but that there is the worst. What a crock of shit.
It’s disgusting how Americans treats its own citizens.
I haven’t read the article yet but damn that’s a sobering title. We must do better in the US (and the world). Really frustrating that we keep falling into the same bigoted patterns rather than treating everybody as inherently worthy of bodily autonomy and respect. Batshit that people are making this out to be a states rights issue.
Batshit that people are making this out to be a states rights issue.
like slavery? and this surprises you?
No, that’s why I said we’re falling into the same bigoted patterns as before. It’s not surprising but it is absolutely batshit that we keep rinsing and repeating the same cycle :/
sorry, my smarmy indignation wasn’t aimed at you
All good! Totally valid and justified
Look at how many downvotes this thread received. It’s mind boggling how large a portion of us, even in these seemingly progressive environments like kbin, are transphobic.
Hate is easy for people already damaged. It takes courage to work on yourself. I can’t tolerate how any person want to degrade a less powerful community. Just a bunch of pathetic bullies.
Even in safe states there’s plenty of assholes. It’s sad really. These conservative Christians really need to judge not, turn the other cheek, and love the sinner.
Yeah, I’m in one of those “safe” states right now, doesn’t mean the amount of bullying and straight up assault has gone down, in fact, in the small rural town I live in it’s probably more dangerous to be trans than it would to be so in Miami or Houston.
CNY has felt pretty hostile since the 2016 election. We have so many trump flags, “dont tread on me” flags, and confederate flags that if you saw a picture you’d assume you were in florida. Don’t even get me started on bumper stickers.
I’m in a similar situation with my nonbinary kid and it terrifies me more every day.
stay strong. your kid will see your strength and be inspired by it.
No one spends more time thinking about other people’s genitals than Christians do.
