Holy crap! Even posing with a photo is bad? So treating us as humans is now considered a bad thing?
Yes. That’s exactly it. The fact that transgender people exist in the world is abhorrent to them so it’s an affront to their senses that anyone would acknowledge them as human beings. They need something to hate in order to feel alive and they’ve latched onto trans-hate as their new socially acceptable hatred.
I’m grateful for the brave public figures who are absorbing so much hatred and rage but standing tall in who they are none the less. We need them to fight back against the hatred just by virtue of existing in the public space so that we can move forward, however slowly.
This is why, some time ago, I decided I was never going to try to go the “stealth” road. Society, and particularly the subset of it I was a member of, really needed me not to. I don’t regret that decision… but I am worried that one day it will get me thrown into a woodchipper.
I share the same thoughts. I’ll never be quiet or hidden, but I do think it might get me killed someday.
I kinda miss the days when Tony the Tiger made headlines for being grossed out of Twitter by horny furries.
I feel so bad for Dylan Mulvaney in particular… she can’t do anything or associate with anyone without the conservatives going ballistic. This is what they want for all of the transgender community. Even happening to see one offhandedly is “shoving it down their throats”.
I didn’t know about her either, but from what I’m reading she’s literally just a trans girl who got popular on TikTok and… that’s it? It’s pathetic that the mere EXISTENCE of trans people, and in this case just the fact that other people are okay with them existing, is enough to make conservatives shake in their boots. It’s downright ridiculous.
This is the guy who makes tons of “t-slur semen” posts, right? The name is familiar from what an absurdity he is. He’s a strategist? Really?
