    Not only do these people fail as allies and as compassionate human beings, but they’re also very stupid if they don’t see that defending trans rights is the front line of the fight against fascism right now, and we all need to be there fighting it. They’re not going to stop at taking rights away from trans people. It’ll be you next.

      Yeah, it’s this kind of delusion why people aren’t loyal to you.

        Nobody wants your fucking loyalty. They want you to wake the fuck up and get it through your skull that we’re all in this shithole together, and you need to start lending a hand instead of stomping on other’s backs to get yours. Because one day, you might need the rest of us to come save you too.

          That’s not true. You people expect me to agree with you on everything or else I’m a nazi.

          If I dared to suggest we prioritize reducing the disparity in wealth over fighting a culture war, you people immediately assume I’m an enemy.

          You don’t just want loyalty, you crave it. You’re dependent on it. You get mad whenever you don’t get it and throw tantrums until you do or get rid of the person.

            Trans rights is simply human rights for trans people. It’s not a culture war issue; it’s a human rights issue.

            Are you incapable of breathing and chewing bubble gum at the same time? Why not both?

              Because they like to use “we have bigger problems to worry about” as a way of shutting down people calling attention to problems.

                Why should I feed this homeless person in front of me when there are millions of children dying in starvation in Africa. In fact by giving food to this homeless person who is probably homeless because of his fault, I am in fact wasting food that could otherwise be across the world at this same instant so I actually won’t do anything other than finishing my burger because I’m snackish. /s

                Fuck that was hard to type but it’s not too far from how some people actually think
