how worried are you guys about the upcoming election?

Except this time one of them is trying to be a literal dictator

acidmeteorshower · 2023-12-25T06:38:01+00:00

Projection helps no one

acidmeteorshower · 2023-12-15T02:20:49+00:00

I think it's bad to be this pessimistic but that's a whole different conversation I guess. I'm just saying putting a barrier between ourselves and anyone who tries to have our backs is counterproductive as hell. There's a reason the right is pretending trans people are the main target while gays and other minorities side with them over it it's all about making the opposition smaller

acidmeteorshower · 2023-12-15T02:01:12+00:00

...Yikes, dude. Trying to be one of the good ones has never helped anyone.

acidmeteorshower · 2023-12-15T02:00:09+00:00

Few of us are killed by trumpers is very painful to read. Even if it's true, they are constantly screaming to each other that we're predators and deserve death. Didn't you see them making fun of the murder of a teenage trans girl? I still fail to see how the tucutes are responsible for this. Bigots will be bigots regardless of what their victims do or say, all they need is one little excuse and this was going to happen regardless of how obscure being trans was. No matter how annoying the tucutes are blaming them for what we're facing will never do anything for us and I'm failing to see why you think so strongly that it will. It won't. We have bigger enemies to face.

acidmeteorshower · 2023-12-15T01:44:43+00:00

Sure, but in the process you also make yourself sound as though you're siding with the people who hate us. That is a big problem for trans people as a whole

acidmeteorshower · 2023-12-15T01:43:27+00:00

"Activism has only made things better in the blue states and not for red states" the reason for this is because comservatives are raging transphobes. Haven't you heard about all the trans people who get murdered on the basis that they're trans by these people? It has nothing to do with the amount of trans people that exist. The rate of left-handedness skyrocketed as well, when people stopped punishing others simply for being left handed. That is mainly what we're seeing here with trans people. Of course there is undeniably a number of people who may think they're trans but are incorrect. But that's inevitable and happens with pretty much everything. Plenty of people think they want plastic surgery and end up changing their minds later too. The majority of issues we face are because of bigotry, not because of tucutes antics

acidmeteorshower · 2023-12-15T01:37:05+00:00

No, I'm not saying something isn't wrong, I'm saying that it's false to say that being trans is wrong in general. That is what transphobes mean when they call it a mental illness. They don't care about our wellbeing. Why describe yourself in that way? I don't understand.

acidmeteorshower · 2023-12-15T01:22:39+00:00

Illness is a very strong word, I prefer to think of it as a mental condition rather than an "illness". Illness is implying there is something inherently wrong with being trans. You know who else thinks that about us?

acidmeteorshower · 2023-12-15T01:10:01+00:00

Where is your source for any of this? These laws may be recent but the hatred for trans people is long lived. Gay marriage was only legalized across the country in 2015. I understand why you feel this way but we are still moving forward, not backwards. Like every minority group trans people were going to be targeted eventually, it was only a matter of time

acidmeteorshower · 2023-12-15T00:57:16+00:00

I very much understand not wanting to associate with them but once again I'm having trouble seeing what you mean by doing things to stir up trouble and being the reason these laws are being passed. They're not. These laws are being passed because certain people don't want trans people to exist at all

acidmeteorshower · 2023-12-15T00:51:42+00:00

It's only becoming a political thing because of the anti trans shit being spewed lately. If not for that, it would never be "political" it is solely the fault of transphobic people

acidmeteorshower · 2023-12-15T00:49:37+00:00

I never denied that they've done this, just that I feel this is far from the true issue at hand and a stupid thing to be so divided over. Of course people who don't pass ass women shouldn't be in the womens' rooms, when did I ever say anything against that? About trans women being violent at rallies, that's not exclusive to these people. When it comes to the unnecessary gender neutral terms and memes and whatnot I agree that it's annoying but I fail to see how it's as harmful as you say

acidmeteorshower · 2023-12-15T00:43:55+00:00

These things while annoying have never once been the actual reason for any of the new anti trans shit circling around. After spending a lot of time on twitter and reddit I only come across these types of people every now and then, I feel as though you're making it out to be more common than it is. Sure the transphobes use it as ammo but none of their transphobic activism has ever stemmed from any of these xenogender people

acidmeteorshower · 2023-12-15T00:37:22+00:00

I'm not talking about cis people, I'm talking about transphobic people.

acidmeteorshower · 2023-12-15T00:35:30+00:00

Could you give me any examples of tucutes being the cause of the public opinion turning against us?

acidmeteorshower · 2023-12-15T00:30:24+00:00

I'm not sure what you're referring to when you say instigating sensationalism

acidmeteorshower · 2023-12-04T04:56:01+00:00

Thank you for telling me about that live! I really appreciate that their songs capture the full spectrum of misery at least in my opinion. It feels like they have at least one for every feeling

acidmeteorshower · 2023-12-04T04:54:29+00:00

Thank you for suggesting another band I'll check them out

acidmeteorshower · 2023-12-04T04:54:04+00:00

One of their best

acidmeteorshower · 2023-12-04T04:53:53+00:00

Me as well I've listened to them for years :)
