People shouldn't be discriminated against on the basis of what they are or where they're born. People should be judged by their words and actions, not by what they are made up of.
I have no problem with trans people who are quiet, chill, not bothering anyone, not pushing woke nonsense, not spreading delusional and annoying ideologies, not being a total weirdo freak, not calling you a bigot for applying 5th grade basic biology, etc. etc. Even extends to non-binary and asexual demi-people, even if I find them confusing.
I'll be honest... I was never really a fan of the whole "trans people are creeps coming for your kids" or "trans people are all invading women's locker rooms" narrative. To me, just like any other group of people, there's your good and your bad, to oversimplify things. Of course you have some trans creeps who are actual pedophile groomers, and those who just want to invade women's spaces just for infinite spank bank material. And you have your low level creeps, who probably won't be caught committing any serious crimes, like your Melody Shreds and your Princess Bubblegums, but they're still creepy loser perverts. But all those should be seen as individuals, and not the leaders of a hivemind.
Now all that being said.... yeah the trans community is just chock full of bad, stinking, apples. It's really, really, bad to be honest. It feels like everything I've been seeing about trans people has just.... to sum it up really quickly and crudely, annoyingly stupid or disturbingly insane. Lately I've been finding myself not caring about misgendering, like how I just called Malds "he" instead of dancing around it. Maybe it has something to do with Trump becoming president and the "mask coming off" with a lot of the policies and the formal pleasantries. I don't know.
In the end, I guess people should just be a little more careful in choosing their words so they're not throwing innocent people under the bus. It's pretty easy most of the time, trust me.
The crazy part is that it hasn't needed a conspiracy from the politicians or questionable investigative work from the media to expose all this kind of behaviour. They have done all of the hard work themselves and have self-published it on Twitter, Resetera, Tumblr, Reddit and BlueSky.
When Malds's BlueSky is available for all to see and the "mutual aid" freaks are posting unironically then you have to look internally in your community for someone to blame. Hell, if the fucking feminists think you're annoying then you done fucked up good.
