It has been repeated many times, but the idea that cis het men would go to any bother whatsoever pretending to be trans women in order to sexually assault someone when they do so all the time already and are rarely and barely punished for it is patently absurd, and yet we are constantly forced to address this nonexistent, made-up problem by people who just want trans people to disappear and die.
Essentially, every anti-trans narrative and talking point is rooted in a hysterical overreaction to something transphobes made up themselves, which have no basis in reality, and which fall apart under any common sense examination, and yet it is trans people who are constantly accused of being deluded or in denial or out of touch with reality.

@gwynnion I find it best to be simple. I ask myself this question- "Does it affect my life in any way?"

If my answer is "No", my response is always, leave people the fuck alone. Let everyone live how they want. It's none of our business.

Like I said- simple.

@bluedotmo @gwynnion it’s a very simple philosophy I follow as well. I wish more people would follow it.

@bluedotmo @gwynnion Always glad to meet a fellow Latter-Day Nunyatarian*. 😏

* - With a not-unlikely end or at least steep decline to human civilization right around the corner thanks to climate catastrophe also feeding rapid development of deadly pandemics among starving refugees, not to mention idiotic billionaire war profiteers playing chicken with nuclear war... if your biggest problem is with someone who's not hurting you in any way, then not only is it "Nunya", I have only one question:

@bluedotmo @gwynnion

I used to think this way too, but then I realised it led to an unwanted situation: A small group of people wanting to live their lives, a large group of people who actively hate the first group, and everyone else looking the other way saying 'not my problem'.

If everyone would let people be themselves then it would be great, but until then we need to actively stand with these oppressed and persecuted folk, and push back against the hate and intolerance of the ignorant β€οΈπŸ’›πŸ’šπŸ’œ
