      They thrive of hating the weaker groups in society. If you want some morbid fun, try asking one of those what they should do with trans people if the had the power…

      If they had to get mad at reality, there’d be a lot less to be mad about. Being mad about made-up BS is a way for them to have their cake and eat it too. It’s boogeymen all the way down.

      Those in power hate losing control. That’s why bodily autonomy, sexual freedom, critical thinking, accurate history, and religious diversity are all their go-to boogymen.

      Trans folk are just one of the more recent groups to be targeted.

      I’ve known four out trans people. One was a piece of shit. The other three turned out to be amazing and empathetic people who all made my life better just by knowing them.

      It turns out, when you deal with people being entitled jerks to you all day, that tends to make you a better person. Forged in fire and all that.

      The main reason is that they try to control what people think and how they feel. They don’t understand that just because they want to be seen and treated a certain way doesn’t mean everyone else needs to accommodate them.

      If you believe men can’t be women (and vice-versa), that’s fine. If you believe they can, that’s fine too.

      If you believe your view is an abject fact and there should be no discussion, then that’s not fine. Unfortunately, a lot of people fall into the last category where they hear something that challenges their beliefs and immediately want to censor it. All that does is create enemies by telling people they can’t discuss their views.

      It’s an effective tactic, on both sides.

        Nobody is trying to control what people think or how they feel. You’re really just being an ignorant fool in every comment you post, aren’t you?
