      So…

      1. I didn’t tell “someone”, I told you… did you mean to post this comment from an alt account?
      2. I didn’t say “looking for excuses”, I said “looking for reasons”. There’s a difference, and I used the word I meant. “Excuse” implies that the basis for the anger is illegitimate, and I am not saying that, it may very well be legitimate.


      There will always be a reason to get angry, but getting angry is a choice that you make. You can make different choices.

      If you just live in a state of outrage, you interpret anything that isn’t overtly positive as critical or “transphobic”, and you take that as support for your impression that “There is rampantly unchecked covert transphobia”, but this is confirmation bias. This point of view lacks nuance, it divides everyone that you interact with into a binary good/bad category.

        The someone thing was about me, learn reading comprehension, self referential third person is a common phrasing asshole.

        No, I am taking views that see trans women as potentially dangerous as being transphobic. Views that trans children shouldn’t get healthcare. That’s a far cry from “not overtly positive”. You’re disgusting in your attempts to minimize the situation.

        You can make different choices??? Fuck you. I could choose to ignore transphobia, sure, but that would be morally lazy, morally painful, and directly impact me and my loved ones. I’m not looking for reasons to be angry, you’re looking for reasons to delegitimize trans people.

        If the only way you see transphobia is if someone is literally saying slurs, you’re missing a lot and you’re either dumb as hell or a covert transphobe yourself.

        Your comment did not leave space for the possibility that what I am saying is true, and you did the basic thing that privileged people do where you tell a minority they’re just getting angry over nothing. You think I live in a state of outrage?? You live in a state of willful ignorance.

        You’re disgusting 🤮🤮🤮🤮 literally revolting

          And you’re just looking for a fight. You want to be a hero, so you’re manufacturing villains.

            🙄 you are probably just a transphobe tbh lol, idk who else would persist so hard at denying that transphobia exists, or persistently try to undermine someone bringing up real issues.

            As you can see, I have not gained any love or adulations for bringing up transphobia on this platform. And if I did, would that make it wrong? Greta Thunberg gets called a hero, is her cause wrong? What a dumbass idiot thing to say.

            Adults care about what happens in the world - it’s not a storybook, it’s real life and the discussions we have impacts voting, laws, and people’s rights being taken away. Have the shittiest of lives.
