My good friend is really cool. He’s basically a super nerd scientist guy. Despite having a ton of knowledge, he’s humble af, I’ve known him for years before I knew how high his educational qualifications go.

My friend just married someone with a nice job and a bougie family. I’m happy for my friend, I couldn’t give a fuck if all her convos revolve around past holidays, resorts, and pricey drinks. My friend is happy and and he feels secure with this woman, and I’m glad that things are going well for him.

My friend and his wife keep trying to organise double dates. I guess it feels natural, to bring us into the wider family. But what happens is that the men and women separate and have their own conversations. My gf finds this woman boring af, bragging about all the countries she’s traveled and nice places she’s been isn’t really interesting. I wonder if posh people are so used to talking to service workers and underlings who are required by their job to please them, that they have no idea how fucking boring they are.

    She’s also homophobic/transphobic, even though she doesn’t think she is!

    God I fucking hate liberals. Had to listen to my mom and her friend go off about Caitlyn Jenner. “I don’t care if [s]he want to be a woman or is gay or whatever. I just don’t think [s]he should be playing women’s sports. To me, [s]he’s always going to be [deadname].”

    If you don’t care, then why are you dead naming and misgendering her, while saying trans women can’t compete in women’s sports? I spoke up about how trans people have been allowed in the Olympics for years, yet the number of them who have won medals is tiny (I think 2 bronze metals in 30 years or some shit?). So either they deliberately lose because it “gives real women a chance!” or they win and it’s “they had an unfair advantage!” There will be an excuse to unfairly penalize them, on top of all the usual bullshit.

    So it’s not just petite-bourgeois asshats. It’s reactionary white people and people who settled on their worldview at 23 and have kept it the same for 40+ years because God forbid they read a fucking book that’s non-fiction.

    Edit: transphobia corrections as suggested below.

      Jenner uses her old name when talking about her past [do not look at her ex wife’s wikipedia talk page], but also, she doesnt even play sport anymore, she’s in her 60s lol

      you are using her old name, even if youre quoting someone, probably could just say [their old name], or something

      anyway, fuck Jenner, she was invited by israel to be the guest of honour at the pride parade this year and did a tour of ‘oct 7 sites’
