…I could have told you that 🤷

Not my usual kind of source (Xitter), but I want any centrists out there who ask trans people to “just get along” / compromise with actual hate groups that want them eradicated to know that it doesn’t work.

There is no such thing as a reasonable bigot, by definition.

    I agree in large part, I think she needs to step away from the internet and discourse for a while and actually connect with trans people in real life. Hit up a support group and listen, go to day of remembrance and hang around for a while after just talking about life with people, stuff like that.

    I haven’t forgiven her yet, but she’s still my sister, she just needs to get her shit together and stop hurting the family. And that includes learning that her middle ground is still gonna make us second class citizens (and it’s easy to accept it for yourself, but when it’s others you care about it’s harder, it’s why you need community).

    I will however say, she’s not fresh out, she was out when she was a major target of gamergate like a decade ago. Like idk how she didn’t learn by watching Blaire White get used in the same way.
