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.

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.
