      Some do.

      Just because you’re LGBTQ+, doesn’t automatically mean that you drop all of your biases and logical incongruities.

        Yeah, some have absolutely deluded themselves into believing they’re “one of the good ones” and they if they could just excise the “bad ones” then the good trans people like them will be accepted.

        During Trump’s first run I had a gay, Hispanic coworker who was all in for him. My wife’s a brown immigrant and thought Trump was fine until she met me and I showed her things. Even so, a few weeks ago she said she wasn’t worried because ICE was only taking criminals. 🙄

        Seen 100 memes and comments on here where people think LGBT automatically means “good person”. Nope. They can be just as stupid and evil as us straight folk.

        Thanks for the video link, that looks like an interesting watch. It’s a phenomenon I’d already intuitively noticed, so I look forward to this video elucidating my thoughts on this matter.

    also the world is dominated by three imperial colonial patriarchal racist capitalist empires and queer people are a threat to a lot of the pain the world is built on through their defiant act of “what if i didn’t worry about all that and i just lived my truth?”

    if everyone got to live their truth the world order of torture wouldn’t just decay, it would completely crumble. the people io power can’t have that

      Honestly most of right wing hate for trans people boils down to sexual insecurity and fear of being seen as gay. So much of reactionary politics seems to stem from sexual insecurity, it’s insane.

      So much of their racism is basically 1:1 interracial cuckold porn, things like being against abortion and no-fault divorce coming from the view that they’re “doing everything right” but that evil women want more and more, then my Gods the trans stuff. So much of that is they’re terrified that they could finally manage to get with a woman and she’d turn out to be a “secret man” like that’s totally how this works.

        right wingers like to make fun of trans people for their higher rate of suicide

        Without realizing that people like them constatly being assholes is a major contributing factor in the causes of those increased suicides…
