writing my intro after two beers is a fantastic idea, there is absolutely zero possibility of me just falling into emotional, polemic rants about anti-scientific reactionaries and other transphobes being dickheads AND stupid
#the oracle hath spoken#to my defense: they are!#if i hear 'gender ideology' one more time i might shoot someone#not with a gun but with laser beams from my eyes made of pure concentrated hatred and scorn and frustration#like i'm. i'm not trans let's put it like that and i'm white and vaguely protestant atheist and middle class and well educated#i KNOW being privileged i KNOW how uncomfortable and unbelievable being confronted with other realities can be#but locking your jaws in your opinions is just pathetic#i too can just claim the sun vanished if i never look up you know#if you disagree with me or something i believe in: cool! great! please do tell me your criticisms bc i'm always interested in reflecting!#but actually make the effort to disagree and not just deny because to you it's new and different and confusing#these people sound like little kids who don't want to eat something they don't know and just decide it's gross and poison#also it's just pointlessly hateful and mean#i don't have to understand something to accept that it's not hurtful to anyone and very none-of-my-business-or-concern#i have all hands full trying to manage and understand and navigate my own gender and also mind in general#i don't even remotely have the capacities to try and manage all y'all's too and if you do? maybe channel these into something constructive#like you could be cleaning up the beach or some river#you could be learning an instrument or listen to new music or watch a movie or draw smthg#you could change your goddamn bedsheets! how about that! but instead you make it your business to bother strangers on the internet#over something that doesn't even affect you. like in the slightest.
