Oh shit, the tone police are here. I’m not under the impression the person I’m responding to is going to change their behavior after this has already been widely talked about to death for years, and so I really don’t care what tone I use. This person is helping make the lives of real, actual, perfectly innocent trans people (and especially the lives of trans women) hell because they a) don’t care about those people or somehow more pathetically b) do care but can’t restrain themselves from buying themselves a children’s toy to that end.
Right message. Wrong tone. Assuming you want people to fork less money to the transphobic piece of shit.
You do want that, right?
coddling the oblivious to enable the bigots has not been a winning strategy on any front if you simply look around.
I imagine, and I’m no English expert, that there’s a line somewhere between coddling and mindless rant.

I get it. Venting online is way cheaper than therapy and twice as effective.
