Someone on a video just commented that it is a *bad strategy choice* for trans people to "rush" their liberation, and just said the gay people took 40* years *on purpose* because we didn't want to rush things and...I....just...

To anyone wondering: the long fight for equal rights isn't long because we're taking our time? It isn't a strategy choice to do two steps forward 1 (or 3) steps back, it's the result of bigotry.

Every single group fighting for their equal rights wants those rights granted as of *yesterday*, not in some fictional future when the time is right.

Ye gads, someone needs to get me a new internet, this one's gone bad.

*40 years came from the commenter, the struggle for queer rights has been going on - with wins and setbacks and everything in between - for as long as there's been queer oppression, and in fact is *caused* by oppression, because you don't have to fight for rights you already have, eh?
