Don’t engage, they’re someone who assumes they’re right because they don’t want to be wrong, there’s nothing there besides what they want to be, and they’ve made it clear they don’t care much about the issue.
I don’t mind engaging. I may not be able to change them, but maybe there’s a kid out there feeling a little less alone. Or another person who just needs to be reminded that “evil starts with treatin’ people as things.”
I’ve voted against hate and towards body autonomy in every election large or small since 1978, and while it’s been 2 steps back for every step forward, that’s no reason to give up.
Oh Jesus Christ. Neither of you have read anything I’ve written, have you?
It’s comical.
LITERALLY comical.
My ass has been to about 83 bajillion protests within the last two years, and I can’t even MENTION the things I’ve done to support transgender people. EVERY DAMN DAY I’d stand right next to someone whose kid was transgender, and we talked a lot about was going on with his child and the specific issues she was facing. It was and continues to be one of the things I’m concerned about. And I personally know A HELL of a lot of transgender people. I am very concerned for them.
NEVER in my entire time on this planet have I once advocated throwing transgender people under the bus, reducing any kind of protections or advocacy, or stopping trying to advocate for transgender people.
LITERALLY all I said was that right-wingers who are obsessed with transgender people are mentally ill.
How the hell am I being attacked by people who took it as me saying that non-right-wingers who advocate for transgender people are mentally ill?
IT BOGGLES THE MIND!
