This post in response to the BBC’s transhobia pretty much says it all

UK Political Thread, part the second

That’s… certainly a take. "It wasn’t transphobic, because it’s normal to think they’re all nasty perverts, so it’s difficult to tell when a view flips from being cool and normal to ‘transphobic’ whatever that means. “It follows that there wasn’t the creation of a harmful or negative stereotype because everyone already knows they’re horrible people, so it was all kinda true even if the things we reported as facts never happened.” Pusillanimous fuckers.

That sure is a lot of words for “Nuh uh!” but that’s the BBC for you, neatly channeled by @catsidhe

[anon97585346]

And the BBC’s sentiment is sadly just a copy-paste of all the acceptance of transphobia by Netflix, Twitter, NY Times, etc.

63% of Republicans think transgender people are trying to turn kids trans

I don’t find Republicans beliefs shocking, but the number of younger (<50) Democrats with anti-trans views is concerning.

Watch this if you’d like to see the kind of shit we have to deal with here in the UK.

Quiet, supposedly intelligent, planning the elimination of a group of people.

Fascists don’t wear uniforms, they wear jumpers and read the Guardian and make plans on Zoom calls.

“Every one of them is a person who’s been damaged”

I’m certainly damaged, but not because I’m trans. It’s because I stayed closeted for too long and that damages the fuck out of a person. I am only now beginning to heal.

“Every one of those people is a huge problem to a sane world”

No, fascists like these two fuckwits are a problem to a sane world.

Cannot watch that. Too much anger in me already. Fuck them both.

[anon59592690]

I did because I was curious quite how bad it could be.

It was worse.

Save yourself the trouble, fella, go give someone a hug instead. Love wins.

I’ve already lost my temper once today and unintentionally got into an argument with my teenager.

I just got calmed back down, and I know that watching that bollox will only infuriate me, so I’ll pass for right now.

That said, I do see your struggle and deeply sympathize because its a mirror image of the persecution POC perpetually face.

Man, I am so sick of mindless bigotry…

My Kassandra instinct is shown to be correct again.

I shall continue to resist them by refusing to give them authority over me. It is a good thing to break unjust laws.

I’m certainly damaged, but not because I’m trans.

I am damaged because of fascistic arseholes like these two.
