what if everyone just let trans people live our lives in peace

i bet it would be good

@tillybridges It boggles me why these people care so goddamned much about what others do.
@michaelgemar it’s because our existence proves everything white supremacist patriarchy says is a lie
@tillybridges I imagine it wouldn't even be that hard... but hating *is* easier than looking inward and figuring out where that fear comes from.
@tillybridges We should definitely try this. (I was going to say ā€œgive this a shot,ā€ but given the current news cycle decided that’s wasn’t the best note.)
@tillybridges That. On-exactly-topic, I'm glad you're jumping on seasonal themes early.
@tillybridges Unfortunately, too many loud people have a big problem with other people doing things that they couldn’t phantom doing and/or too afraid to do themselves
@tillybridges To cheer you up: the Sydney Gay And Lesbian Mardi Gras (inclusive of all LGBTQI) is a huge event in Australia. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sydney_Gay_and_Lesbian_Mardi_Gras

@tillybridges most people don't care until you tell them what they have to do to make you happy. Call me this say that don't say this, just live your life
@ct276 basic respect is something everyone deserves, and that involves using the correct names and pronouns, Chas
@tillybridges Conservative ā€œfreedom lovingā€ idjits don’t want ANYONE to have that though.
@tillybridges Oh, there could be an island, like a penal colony, where they send all the trans folx - and other queers, too, if they're cool. It'd be like Australia, but with rainbow flags and La Croix.

@tillybridges and it would cost nothing
@tillybridges Unfortunately the sole existence of trans people is a threat to traditional gender roles and the nuclear family. These notions are vital for capitalists, especially in times of crisis. This is also why conservatives are so obsessed with these 'values' and why they will never let you live in peace.
@JakeKb I have literally written about that very thing a dozen times
@tillybridges Sorry, I wasn't following you until today, so I haven't seen any of your previous posts.
@tillybridges What, you mean treat people who are just minding their own business with dignity and respect?? What are you, some kind of crazy extremist radical?
@tillybridges Of course it would be good, and it would be the right thing to do. Which proably dooms it from the start.
