around the neck

with a firm grip

    I wouldn’t say “preach” but I do have conservative friends that openly tell me that being gay or trans is wrong. (I’m trans, and they know this). I’d love it if they kept that shit in the privacy of their own homes

      These people aren’t actually your friends

        To be fair it rarely comes up, and they’re not really judging me over it. It’s just shit like complaining about pronouns. Or if we’re talking about religion they’re usually pretty clear that they don’t think I’m disgusting or anything, they’re just holding to what they think is biblical.

        But it does kinda feel bad knowing that they’d vote away my right to HRT in a heartbeat

      Or maybe realize that the human race is on a collision course with a hot, chaotic destiny in the form of climate change coupled with economic collapse. Maybe it’s time to solidify our networks instead of silently praying the ‘other’ changes or dies?
