If the only people who laugh at your jokes or respond to you positively are bigots - and you yourself disavow those opinions - maybe it's time to analyze why it is that they feel safe around you. While you might not be intentionally bigoted in those ways, there is still a reason that somebody who's transphobic, anti-Black, whatever it may be, really, feels it is okay to be open about those bigotries.

#politics #like i can't count the amount of trans people with like 'trans lib NOW' in their bio who post things that transphobes react to positively...#...as in like 'i agree with this statement because [transphobia from their end]' like. please analyze why they feel safe around you!!#like what i'm talking about is attracting those people (bigots) because they've interpreted statements as a signal that you are Safe to them #would there be some things transphobes agree with me on? i guess so *but* i do not tolerate any transphobia...#...so typically even if they agree with something i have said they still realize this community/myself will just... not entertain it #there's a difference between 'bigots have found my account/me irl and are harassing me' and 'these people feel safe to be bigoted'#('because they think i am bigoted too')
