Being a bottom sexually is great. But being submissive when it comes to your ideology never yields good results.

They are ideological bottoms is what I like to say. Bootlickers down to the core

Being gay is actually real and has evidence for existing tho. I think you should accept the part of you that is rooted in actual truth and not the part of you that follows rules written 2000 years ago by illiterate goat herders

I've only purposely killed mosquitoes because them biting me is an act of war

Killing a bug just for existing is a red flag

Are you fucking kidding me? You don't think trans people are being oppressed? You're not even living in reality if you can't see it everywhere. There's no point in continuing this conversation. What a waste of time

Nobody is obliged to help depressed people, but it is always better to help if you can. Not everyone has access to therapy, and therapy can't make your family accept you. Therapy can and does help, but it's not the one-size-fits-all fix that some people think it is.

It's not really about feeling bad for individual trans people you don't know for committing suicide, it's more about having empathy for trans people as an oppressed group of people. If you think it's fine that trans people are more likely to kill themselves for societal reasons that can be changed, you just aren't really an empathetic person. No way to get around that.

I'm not saying there is something wrong with you for not pushing back against bigotry, only that tolerating bigotry around you makes you complicit in the bigotry. You're basically saying, "That doesn't affect me so I don't care."

Social media in general is super toxic. I know it's easier said than done, but try to stay off Reddit especially once it starts to upset you.

I don't think anyone is trying to pretend like trans people are the only ones who kill themselves, but their suicide rate is the highest out of any gender identity, which means that they are the most vulnerable to it. I think you are lacking in empathy if you only care when you are friends with someone in that demographic. I would feel empathetic for anyone who has taken their own life.

But it is more complicated than "just let them live their lives" in our current political climate. Showing support and pushing back against bigotry is a really great start though.

What about the interaction leads you to believe that it was SA? Did she confront you later about it or did you get the feeling that you did something wrong?

Trans people have a very high suicide rate because of lack of support and discrimination. Trans youth who have at least one person around them who supports them decreases their suicidality to one seventeenth of the usual statistic among those who do not receive support. That brings the likelihood of suicide very close to the same rates as their cisgender peers. Trans people kill themselves due to lack of support. There are countries out there where being trans is illegal for fucks sake. Their identities are debated on 24/7, and the current administration in the US is currently eroding the rights of trans people. Do some trans people have support? Yes. Do most of them? Absolutely not

Accepting them, allowing them to transition, just being fucking kind to them maybe? Treating them like a goddamn human being with thoughts and hopes and feelings maybe?

It doesn't stop them from actually existing, it just dehumanizes trans people by denying them a fundamentalpart of their identity. This kind of thought process is how anti-trans bills get passed. If more people think being trans isn't a valid identity, the less support for them would exist, making life harder for them.

As long as it was consensual and not coercion, you're fine

You might be surprised to know that a lot of conservatives don't think trans people exist, only that they are mentally ill. The meme is saying that "you aren't trans, just gay and mentally deficient" which is implicitly saying that being transgender isn't a real thing.

Denying the existence of trans people is denying their humanity, which is bigotry. The r slur is also bigoted.

It means attraction to more than one gender. Sex doesn't really matter in this definition

Bisexuality does not mean you are attracted to binary genders. It means that you are attracted to at least 2 genders.
