This elderly man showed up to support an anti-trans bill in my home state and then, because he had to wait hours to testify, he was stuck listening to queer folks rally against it By the time it was his turn to speak, he'd changed his mind Wisconsin man who showed up to support an anti-trans bill does something amazing - Queerty
That tracks with my experiences discussing trans issues with people who are opposed to them. Most of them feel the same way about gay people.
If you want to declare a ceasefire on shitting on peoples' jobs, I'll hear it, but don't dish it out if you can't take it.
Everyone is powerless. The universe does not care how we feel. Go ahead and throw stones about special treatment, sweetheart.
These people are terrified of anything they don't understand, so they use the power of the state to coerce people into denying personhood for others. It would be like saying someone can't be left handed because God doesn't recognize left handed people, and acknowledging that there are left handed children is illegal. I need you to understand that they are making it illegal to acknowledge scientific accuracy here. Let me be straightforward with people who admit they don't know how the trans thing works: you don't have to understand it, that's okay, no one can know the ins and outs of everything, but you need to understand that it is a scientifically understood phenomenon that, like being left handed, exists in people of all walks of life and of all ages. It exists, it is real. Simply making it illegal does not change that it's real.

Oh, you found a thesaurus. Congrats. Say, Jenee hasn't posted here in a while. You guys doing okay? I'd just feel awful if she dumped you, too. You two kids seemed like you had a bright future. Is that why you've been riding a bike so much? Did she take the Jeep?
yet you're the one who launched the first hundred or so salvos of made up bullshit in this regard. and the fact is that most of us don't rip on your job, but rather on you for being such an under acheiver (heh-a UA) based on what you thought were boasts. i.e.: "picked it up on the fly"/ your pride in not actually being trained/certified.
The only thing I need to understand is that it's not my fucking problem until I decide it is. You are not entitled to any degree of participation from anyone.
You can stop selling me on the notion that you're a petty little dickbag. Already convinced over here.
If you say so. I doubt that, but this search function is ass. Assessing my level of acheivement assumes you know my goals. Group think at it's finest.
If you were consistent about that across the board, you'd just be a petty little misanthrope, which would still be pathetic. But no, you pick and choose. And it's always minorities. And your post count in this thread indicates trans people are your favorite. There's a word for that. It's bigot. Wear the shoes, Cinderella. Wear them in rain, sleet, and snow.
Exactly this. It's never his problem, but he sure as shit seems to go along with the oppression of others since it benefits him.
Petty. Okay. To wit, I'd say "petty" is trying to tear me down with school yard insults about my weight because you can't compete intellectually. What you call "petty" on my part is actually a demonstration of what a fragile glass house you live in compared to me. Uncle Albert: You're fat. Me: You're an idiot. UA: Well, you're still fat. Me: And you're bald. UA: Yes, but you. Fat. Me: And you're also poor. UA: But you're fat! Me: And you're unwillingly divorced. UA: Faaaaaaaaat! Me: Okay. Whatever helps you sleep at night. So if you want to keep bringing up my weight, sure, go ahead. But don't cry like a little bitch when I respond in kind.
Nobody's "worldview" is any of your goddamned business. Their opinions do not require your approval, and your opinions place ZERO obligations on them.
You both willfully ignore my opposition to other people, parties and corporations. It doesn't count unless I regurgitate your approved talking points. And no, declining to affirm and validate you is not "oppression."
Exactly right. His refusal to recognize reality does not make it our responsibility to accept his self-delusion.
By flapping your man tits at people who are not me. You are a vain, petty, insecure little man, and the more you lash out with how great you are, the more you prove me right.
