    For some reason this is a joke about genociding transgender people

    Yeah cool people are upset, how about don’t make it worse by joking about gassing trans people for fucks sake

      I recently came to terms with being a trans woman and started coming out of the closet. Trump and the republicans took complete control of the government not long after this. The day after the election I was joking with my co workers in the lab that I won’t get sent to the concentration camps because “I’ll be one of the good ones”. I’m obviously being sarcastic but take it how you will. We’ll need some fucked up humor to get through some of the dark shit we’ll be dealing with these coming years.

      For some people, joking can be relieving.

      For others, totally not.

      I don’t know what to make of it, but if you’re the latter, it’s okay, and you shouldn’t be downvoted so much. But, if you can, don’t take it so seriously. This is not meant to be a slippery slope.
