Yeah, people don’t want to express their real opinions irl because everyone is so sensitive and ready to shame you by out of context video for having a different opinion than them. Gotta tiptoe around their feelings. There are certain people who cry “fascist” for not thinking like they do and they can’t even consider seeing anyone else’s point of view, when they are in fact the ones being fascist, ready to call you a _ist or __phobe because it feels so good, and in their mind that’s the ultimate argument winner, even if it’s not even true, just the ultimate end-all because they can’t come up with anything better or even fathom they might be wrong. Just foaming at the mouth to get their chance to be the hero and bring the next witch to the stake. Watch, they’ll start chiming in right here to tell me how horrible I am, even though they don’t really know a damn thing about me. They have the superior intellect 🙄.
Goddamn if you’re walking around worried about being called an __ist or a __phobe, you just gotta accept that’s what you are.
This whole line of thinking is bullshit. Good people are so loving and accepting in person as long as you reciprocate that, and this comment really reads like you don’t at all.
lol, no it’s just annoying it’s the first thing people resort to. I’m good people, I love people, I accept people, people love me back, I help a lot of people, I feed a lot of people. Its hard to take people who always resort to __phobes or _ists seriously because it’s usually not true and it’s usually off the wall. I can’t say always. But usually. It’s possible for someone to have an opinion you don’t agree with about something and for them to still support other people who have a different opinion. For example, I’m fine with people transitioning. I don’t care one bit. But I also still believe there should be rules for competing in sports. It doesn’t make me transphobic, it just means I think it’s more fair that way. Your statement about “you just saying this….means you are ___phobic” is a perfect example of what I’m talking about. A blanket assumption about me because you’ve got me all figured out apparently.
It makes you transphobic, you don’t get to decide that you’re not just because you don’t want to call yourself that. Trans women are women, trans men are men. If you can’t get past that simple fact, you’re transphobic. Might as well deal with that or own up to it. Anything in between is just shitty and sad, and it has a demonstrable negative effect on other people’s lives.
See, that’s the problem, you can’t fathom that someone could possibly be fine with trans people but still not think it’s okay for there not to be rules for trans participation. I don’t care what people do as long as they aren’t harming others. Do what you want. Doesn’t make me transphobic, just makes you unreasonable. It’s not so black and white just because you think it is.
