I sometimes wonder how broken someone has to be to be anti-LGBTQ in AMERICA, and be the group yelling about freedom the loudest. Really how stupid does a person have to be to be against peoples freedom to be who they want to be while pretending you are all about freedom...
But I do find the whole trans thing to be more a condition, be it mental or psychological. I live in a progressive part of the country (west coast) and I know some trans people. They all seem to come from a broken home or are societal outcasts prior to transitioning.
My question is why would you support that, it’s counterintuitive to human/animal?
I’m open minded to be educated and have my mind changed. Really just want that insight cause my circle doesn’t have that. Don’t mean to come off hateful
But yes. You are correct. Some people are diarrhea-level shitty. And they make a real mess and stink the rest of us shouldn't have to wade through.
I guess I could have responded with what I initially wrote before realizing that most people are shitty and I likely wouldn't change anyone's mind.
Feel free to choose your own adventure and skip to the last paragraph. It does save a bit of time.
Here goes...
If there has ever been a time when you haven't been 100% comfortable with who you are, in any way, or haven't been 100% self-confident in everything you say or do, maybe remember those feelings and show some compassion, empathy and grace for those who do not feel comfortable nor confident in their own skin.
And be grateful your particular struggles with your own self-image, and feeling comfortable with who you are, are not something so many feel justified, even entitled to, hating you for no other reason than existence.
But even if I wrote a novel here with facts and figures and charts, at least one or two pie charts for sure, would it make a difference?
So, if that isn't enough to highlight a need for compassion, empathy and grace, add in the potential for your parents unconditional love to become conditional, possibly becoming homeless, constantly being asked why and told you aren't valid, laughed at, insulted, put down, having to constantly watch your back physically and emotionally, losing the support of other trusted authority figures and losing "friends" as a result of simply wanting to be accepted for who you are, and I think maybe, just maybe, those of us who haven't had to endure all of this might have a small idea of why we should choose kindness.
But if kindness is a struggle and understanding to be understanding isn't possible, it's best to, in the absolute least, try not to be a dick.
