    If you press transphobes hard enough, they sometimes reveal that they’re only doing it to enforce their arbitraty definition of “normalcy”.

    A former friend of mine did confess to me he only lies about “gays” (read: everyone not cishet) being “pedophiles”, because he is disgusted with them, to the point he wants to make hate-crimes legal, saying “if you can’t stop being gay after a few beatings, you deserve even more, maybe even death”. If you ask: he also wants to uphold his standard of normalcy with music, movies, etc., also he’s a big racist too of course.

      Did he really say, “If you can’t stop being gay after a few beatings, you deserve even more, maybe even death”?

      That might be the most closeted coded sentence I’ve ever heard. Sounds like someone has generational trauma going on.

    Changing tracks might slow down some people’s commute to work by a few seconds… We can’t have that.

        It’s socialism to suggest otherwise!

        In fact I’m approaching the department of transportation to demand explanation for the waste of having this switch at all!

          Yes, we must spend 4 billion on an infrastructure ptoject to eliminate the not-killing-trans-people path to save taxpayer money!

            I didn’t ask to be a hero… I just looked out the window and saw people smiling at their own lives. This is America! I’ve declared people to be lesser. I’m humble so I won’t call myself a hero or God. But I’m something right! Look at how white my skin is

    If you’re the British Government you do your best to get onto the tram and hit the accelerator as hard as you can.

    But I’m really attached to this one fandom and I’ve not read a new book since I was 12. How dare you ruin my childhood!

      I’d prescribe a ContraPoints video with a meal in the afternoon, along with an EDM artist of your preference (femtanyl, ISSBROKIE, FEM&M, etc) as needed. Alternatives may be available in your region

        oh shit, gotta count on my hands how many human lives that’s worth. guess I probably wasn’t capable of basic human empathy afterall. think I can make up some ways in my head to convince myself why the trolley is just common sense and the normal way of things? like, do I get to be the victim on this Cancelled™ tour cuz that’s a sweet deal
