    I am trans. My kids are both trans. My best friend is trans. Two of their very good friends are trans. We all absolutely see what is happening in society. We got it. We’re right there with you. We just aren’t going to be fucking cowards like you and kowtow to bigots. We’re not gonna Oliver Twist them and beg for a few rights. We’re going to exist as fabulously as we want to, and they can either keep pissing and moaning, or they can just accept that we exist and have rights. And if they try to take those rights, well…leftists have guns too, you know.

      I’m a coward?

      Is it being a coward to go up against the prevailing viewpoint in a community, and receive tons of downvotes while asking community members to consider whether the actions they’re taking are helping or hurting them?

      Is it being a coward to face those who would oppose you head on (e.g. cishets), and try to engage with them productively, instead of pretending they don’t exist?

      Before you resort to name calling, take a look in the mirror, my friend.

      And if you want a d*CK measuring contest: I’m bi. My mom is bi. My sibling is trans. My cousin is trans. What’s ur point?

      One more thing: Saying leftists have guns too… starting to sound fascist to you yet??

        Man, you really are an idealogue, aren’t you? Just absolutely convinced you are right, that other people should do exactly as you believe, huh? You might want to see a counselor about that or else you’re gonna have a miserable life not getting what you want all the time.

        try to engage with them productively, instead of pretending they don’t exist?

        You’re the kind of person who would tell Black community leaders to go sit down with white supremacists to try to get them to listen to their needs., 😂

        Newsflash, genius: Bigots see us as subhuman. Literally. There’s no “engaging with them productively” when they don’t see you as an equal and deserving of the same rights they enjoy. Having those conversations is the duty of allies, not the oppressed themselves. The job of the oppressed is to refuse to submit.

          I think you might be the one needing therapy, my friend, if you are so quick and eager to judge strangers you don’t know on the Internet. 😊

          Otherwise such erratic behavior gone unchecked might lead to a lifetime of frustration due to an inability to make friends or make progress toward your goals. 😊

          I am content with my life, can you say the same?

          And news flash, genius: by your definition, everyone is a bigot because we all fall into the trap of dehumanizing others.

          Ever heard of the saying, “Hurt people, hurt people.”?

          Silent bigots are turned into dangerous bigots when they are subject to bigotry themselves.
