Reactionary Radical Eliminationists vs. Trans

A couple of replies to the tweet that shared that letter:

I've seen it in my own family.

My nieces were raised in the same rurual town where my sister and I grew up. My daughters, OTOH, grew up in a large, diverse city.

Despite all of them being around the same age, my kids have always been much more open and tolerant of people's lifestyles than their two cousins have been, though the younger of my two nieces is a little more open now, I think, since she's moved to a larger city.

They all actually had a spat over the trans people in the military thing that came up a few years ago, though they've since mended fences.

I guessing if the waiter had been a big burly guy with tats and the kid was scared, he'd have been telling the heartwarming tale of how the guy turned out to be a fellow vet and he showed his daughter he was just a big softy.

It's always weird when it's your own family, isn't it? I mean, these people were raised the same as you or raised you. And yet, their ideals are so vastly different that it's mind boggling how you do not understand their thinking, and cannot understand how they do not think the same as you.

As for the waiter ...., years ago, my younger son and I would often eat at a particular restaurant that just happened to be the same night of the week that a particular waiter worked.

When I say words like "waiter" or "actor" or "steward", I'm referring to non gender specific people working a certain job. I haven't used suffixes like "ess" since the 70s.

Anyway, this waiter was obviously in the beginning stages of transitioning. The stage in which the person must act as, dress as, and basically live as their intended gender. Prior to any drugs, hormones, surgery, anything. So, this person obviously looked extremely ... out of place - for those of us who do not encounter such things every day.

The child responded by watching my clues. I spoke to the person with respect - as I would to any other person on the waitstaff. I call the person by the name they introduced themselves as. When that person turned to James for his order, James did the same - spoke with respect, addressed them by the name provided, and said please and thank you when necessary.

It's really not a difficult situation and .. really no need at all for conversation or explanation.

100 to 1 dude worked in the motor pool or the mess.

Criminality doesn't depend on a point of view. If something is illegal, the law being broken can be cited. You can't do that here because no such law exists.

You throw a big tantrum every time someone doesn't accept your feelings as fact, don't you?

"Oh yeah? Well you're a big dumb nazi meanie who smells like butt! "

It was and is OK to laugh at anyone. There are no protected classes or double standards.

Emmett Till's mom will be overjoyed that justice is coming any minute now.
After all, there was no law on the books against whistling at a white woman, and he didn't do it anyway.
Open and shut case!
Boom!
Thank you, Uncle Albert; your adherence to logic is pure and good, and not at all deliberate obtuseness in a crappy disguise.

Except punched Nazis, and your every breath.

Jesus Christ, Albert, find a hobby.

Yeah, you're a fucking robot when your "collective guilt" button gets pushed.

He is every mediocre white man who is angry that his mediocrity isn't seen as the peak of desirability.

Comparing goddamn Amaris to Emmett Till is a sure path to credibility. Well done, sport!

Cite the law, you lying, entitled fucking child.

Oh, so there was a law on the books against whistling at a white woman?
Care to produce it?

Just as soon as you produce evidence of me supporting the lynching of Emmett Till, you tedious cockwart.

Where did I make that claim?

If you aren't making that claim, you are engaging in non sequiturs.

Care to back that up with anything?

Back up the fact that you brought up Emmett Till in a conversation that had absolutely fuckall to do with him? That is self-explanatory. I could only speculate on your motivations, but that never stops your clown ass.

I will accept this as your admission that you were knowingly lying for dramatic effect like some spoiled, histrionic child when you claimed you were a criminal just for existing.

You sure like stating incorrect things as "facts".
Righties sure like to pretend their rigid rapid-fire decisiveness is a manifestation of a superior reasoning ability.
No, you just don't think about things, and don't care about being wrong.
I suppose it's fun if there's no consequences, and you have no conscience.
We see that in the sort of politicians you jackholes pick out for us.

Honey, you can live in your fantasy world all you want.

Well, now that you've made that play legal, boy am I about to have a bunch of fun.

I'm not the one making bullshit claims about imaginary laws to elevate my pretend victimhood status.

For the rest of you folks who aren't grossly ignorant or complicit in oppressing entire groups of people, I'm sure you know there are laws around the world that criminalize being LGBTQ+, and that there are laws being pushed in the US that try to criminalize being LGBTQ+. For those who honestly don't know and actually care:

Countries where it is illegal to be LGBTQ+:

None of this should surprise anyone with a modicum of awareness, but hey, sometimes the news cycle gets too busy and you miss a few topics that might come up.

Ahh, so now we're talking about countries where YOU DON'T LIVE to prove your bullshit claim.

Reading on, NO, denying kids puberty blockers and requiring you to play sports as your biological gender is NOT making you a criminal for existing.

Next..

NO, denying taxpayer funds for elective medical procedures is not making you a criminal for existing.
No, you are not oppressed when your employer refuses to refer to you with a different gender than they did yesterday.

NO, making biological boys use the boys room at school and telling teachers not to browbeat students into validating transgenders is not violating anyone's rights.
