    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.

          HE’S SAYING THE TRANSGENDER PEOPLE ARE TRANSPHOBIC. THEY ARE AFRAID OF THEMSELVES!

          THE CALL IS COMING FROM INSIDE THE HOUSE

          (metaphorically)

            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.

                  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.

                    Words mean nothing to fascists, they want you dead regardless if you’re not considered to be one of them. Anyone who is “different” or an “other” is a target for those fucks.

        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.

        You just have to go off like this.

        You’re like one of those dogs trained to bark at black people.

        It honestly makes me sad.
