    Unfortunately, most people have to pick a side to survive. Gay people, trans people, ethnic minorities, poor people, etc. Must all fight against fascism just to protect their very existence.

      I just do my job and don’t bring up any of that at work. Half the people I work with speak either Spanish or French. The French is kinda surprising tbh.

        And lots of those folks mentioned are just trying to do their job and mind their own business when some chud walks up and says, apropos of nothing, “what are ya, some kind of f*ggot?” and it just goes from there, typically poorly.

        “I just do my job and don’t talk about it” isn’t the slam dunk you think it is because the people being abused and/or assaulted and/or legislated out of existence, are overwhelmingly also just trying to do their job and not talk about it. All that is required for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing.

          I’ve had dudes call me all sorts of names including that one. It basically doesn’t matter. I’m also not making any kind of slam drinksy or whatever. Just wondering why your circumstances are so special but can’t approach the topics in any better way than they do.
