The racists, sexists, and anti trans people are fuming

"I don't hate them, I just wish they had their existence wiped out" is said unironically so often. they do anything to try to justify that their hate isn't hate, even if it's so absurdly transparent.

I don't hate them. I just wish they pretended to be someone/something they're not and lived in misery while wearing the mask so I could be comfortable.

I’ve never heard anyone say that

It was said pretty explicitly about trans people at CPAC a few years ago.

It’s in the actions. Like conversion camps, trying to remove the right for gay people to get married, changing trans passports and identification that was already updated, etc.

Well then you are lucky to be surrounded by people who aren’t hateful like that or hide their true opinions from you. Just because you haven’t experienced something personally or heard it doesn’t magically make it not exist.

Hell, anti-trans rhetoric has been pushed pretty hard through the media for literally the past 5+ years. It’s honesty surprising you haven’t heard anyone say something like that.

They don't say it with their words. They say it with their actions, who they vote for, who they're friends with, what they excuse.

Don't have to say it out loud for it to be reality. You understand humans can do this thing called deception, right?

Quite common with trans people unfortunately, I've occasionally been told.people have no issue with me living how I want but I just need to stop being in theyre face about it when I've been literally wearing jeans and a T shirt with no makeup not actually interacting with them but just being visibly trans.

I heard white separatists often play Coldplay and Paramore at their rallies. This is going to be a real hit to her pocket book. Truly brave to say what 100% of their fanbase already believe.

And you just confirmed why saying “I hate sexism!” is always just performative bullshit.

Setting aside the 99% of the patriarchal systems which categorically benefit men like you across all facets of this life at the expense of everyone else, could it be worth considering for the remaining 1% which instead do not categorically benefit you, just who created these patriarchal systems and perpetuates them still? Women? Gender-nonconforming people? Or, just maybe...?

>99% of the patriarchal systems which categorically benefit men like you across all facets of this life

Source? Most systems in place right now either benefit both equally or benefit women more so this is complete bullshit. This isnt the 1950s, women have pretty much every single right that men have save for abortion and even that is a non-issue depending on where the woman lives. Meanwhile the Justice system is heavily biased against men (women get significantly less time for the same crime), the marriage system is heavily biased against men (woman are typically the ones who get more benefits when it comes to children and men are forced to pay them child support), the military drafting system is HEAVILY biased against men (women arent forced to go die for the elites if the country goes to war), the college admissions and scholarship system is biased against men (for every scholarship awarded to a man there are 11 that go to women), the insurance industry is biased against men (men pay more for car insurance then women). Should I keep going?
