To ALL trans folk - Lemmy.World

Lemmy

I’m all for people making their own choices. But teaching children about sexuality is wrong, let alone assuming a child has the mind to transition their gender. This is sick in the head.
I love the response you’re getting. A wholesome community until you have a different opinion. This is how you know Lemmy is simply comprised of the top crust layer of Reddit. The worst it had to offer.

You know Garak is gay, right?

I’m not sure what I’m supposed to do with this information.
Show solidarity by not considering “think of the children” transphobia simply a “different opinion.” It’s not far from considering homosexuals “sick in the head.”
No one was talking about gay people. This is the problem when you try to lump a bunch of alphabet letters into the same group. They’re not a monolith.
No, they’re not, but the people who want to oppress them and wipe them from existence don’t care about that. Don’t help them.
I’m not attempting to help or not help anyone. That’s not my job. But I won’t stifle my words or yours because someone, somewhere thinks it might be “harming” someone.
I wish you had more empathy, but I’ll just have to hope that your words don’t harm anyone, then. The depression and suicide rate for trans people is high for a reason.
“I’m not queerphobic, I’m just a plain and simple tailor…”

Garak: Oh, I don’t know…

Quark: Come on. Aren’t you just a little bit curious?
