    I’m all about positivity, but let’s be real: the World is not better or worse because of someone’s sexuality or gender identity, but is a lot worse for everyone because of the existence of bigoted people that have nothing better to do than meddle in other people’s lives.

      This is so true. A pity you got down voted. Obviously bigots don’t like being called out.

      In a bigoted world, even the existence of the oppressed is a strike against bigotry.

      Survive, and the world is better for it.

        I like that. It makes the fight to keep breathing another day something not strictly out of selfishness. Because you’re right, if everyone stopped fighting those fights we’d lose a lot of people, not just trans ppl, and yeah, the world would be solely populated by hard uncaring Viltrumites.

        Kindness must persevere.

        I’d expect you to have exactly that opinion

      So you acknowledge that bigots make things worse for everyone, but you blame the people they’re bigoted against for it? What are you trying to say here?

        Where did I blame the oppressed people for the existence of bigotry?

        All I’m saying is, for all the qualities a person can have that makes the World better for everyone else, being a specific gender is one of the most irrelevant.

        Gender is a personal subject that only matters for you and the people you care about and care about you.

        Change “trans kids” for “cis kids” in the banner and you’ll understand what I’m talking about. The picture message is empty of meaning.

        To be clear, I have nothing against someone’s gender identity and I could have commented nothing at all. But this is a public forum, and I have an opinion on it, so there we are.

        You do know that downvoting doesn’t hide posts on Lemmy like it does on Reddit, right?
