every so often you get to hear an opinion that's offensive not because of any bigotry, but just because it's assnine.

Look I find the need to use a 50 year old protocol to authenticate with websites annoying, and I think we shouldn't do that anymore, but I don't think it should be outlawed.

Well, they're radical about their genders. Gender is dangerous. You know, to their social order at least. Also lots of organic chemistry involved, and we all know that shit's cursed.

When you're an extremist, everyone in the world looks like a radical.

Hey you speak for your damn self. We're making ALL the frogs gay!

It's literally the pot calling the kettle black. Because we (trans people) believe in introspection, gender studies, biology, scientific methods, harm reduction, and can connect all these things, it conflicts with what people who don't think. It comes down to immovable ignorance and misattributing through that ignorance, and they see us though a freaky fetishist rhetoric cynic lens. We end up being extreme difference alien extremist idealogists, and therefore different and must be a threat to their current worldview. And honestly, yeah. If you're so stuck in trad bullshit that you stand in the way of progress and then claim "science" but then exact hate and oppression of humanity while aligning with the Nazis, then yeah, we are your enemy in every aspect of the word. We just wanna live our lives and love and be loved by our families and build communities and be happy. But in order to do that, APPARENTLY, some shit's gotta change. Stop beating your wives, stop abusing your kids, read more, actually listen to people when they tell you something hurts, be more human, have empathy for people. We got told the future is hopeful and bright for everybody. We realized it isn't that way. We figured out some ways it could be better. We aren't perfect and are all human, just like everybody else. We literally all want the same thing, unless you're a freaky hater rapist murderer racist piece of shit human. WHY are there SO MANY of those??? How do we help people? First step is accepting and understanding ourselves, and to do that, sometimes we need to listen to others who are also trying to understand THEMselves. We (everybody) aren't that smart, and because of that, we have to continually try to be better, to ourselves and to others. And that takes effort and energy and time and patience. It takes examination of our biases, drilling down on "why" and researching history. And once you start doing that, shit gets a lot clearer. Not crystal clear, but definitely clearer. I still don't understand why people get stuck on hate, but I know it makes me really, really sad when I lose a friend to it. It makes me sad when I talk to somebody I haven't in a long time, and they hit me with angry, super stupid political rhetoric that illustrates how far down the fascist hole they've fallen. It's always from a point of self confidence, pain, and a sense of overcoming intellectual adversity. But it's always ignorance and needing belonging, resulting in hurting others.

I'm rambling because I'm tired of it. I'm also just tired in general. A lifetime of it all really wears you out and makes it hard to recover. Less friends, less family, less government, less rights, people talking you down everywhere, the constant considering and strategy. I'm tired. So tired. I do think we're all gonna make it, but like db0 said, "we aren't pacifists", we just... I dunno, trans people are the tanks I guess. Politicians are the dps, everyday people speaking out in support are the support. I don't want to be a tank, I want to be a normal person. I want to be a game dev and have friends and go visit my family. But I can't do that anymore, so I must fight for the chance at maybe my younger siblings to have a chance at that future.

And if that makes me an extremist... I don't think so. But if somebody does, then yeah, fine, I guess we can have beef.

Somebody else in here commented that they couldn't stand the jokes and memes and stuff. And honestly, fuck that person. It all hurts. Of course it does. But we have to keep going and not give in to the hate. Otherwise... We lose everything. Identity politics, culture war... More like rights to life and love and freedom and equality. Losing civil rights weekly in 2026 is crazy. Defunding scientific progress and research. Everything is politicized against us now. We can't even get a passport anymore. I can get executed for using the restroom in public. I get side eyed by every dad and verbally assaulted by the drunk ones. My offense? Walking in public on a sidewalk, in the evening, back from the grocery store.

I hope all fascists die in a fire. And now you have a better idea why.

I'm tired. I'm going to bed in hopes that things will be better tomorrow.

My best guess is that one of the dev’s alts got put in the corner for transphobia, and they were butthurt about it.
