Have broken my August rule , but the powers of this world are so twisted and ugly - having seen the gloating cruelty and hatred in the anti trans movement close up, I cannot understand this vicious desire to dehumanise while letting active predators thrive #trans #lgbtq #humanrights

I... I don't understand making hate a core of one's personality.
I even more don't understand hating transgender people.
I'm cisgender. 99.9% of the time, I'm not thinking about transgender topics. The other 0.1% of the time, I'm thinking -- oh yeah, Person A used to be named Person B. I need to make sure I didn't accidentally use their dead name.
That's about all that I want to think about transgender topics.
I really don't understand people like J. K. Rowling or others who make something that doesn't affect them a centre of their lives. I stay far, far away from people with that much hate.

Yes, well said. It’s an odd set of priorities alright. Stupidly crazy & cruel. Thanks for expressing it. ☹️🙏🏻
@robinince 🍉We are going through the worst period unfortunately when the world is busy elsewhere and we 🍉are here suffering and no one is looking at us. 🙏

@robinince I agree 😿
Remember that anti-trans bigotry has billionaire funding, foreign & domestic, straight out of the Putin playbook.
Bigots are always the favorite voting bloc for the ultrawealthy.
IG Farben & Henry Ford promoted anti-semitism to get Hitler into power
Folks like Elon Musk are ginning up anti-trans public sentiment to get evangelical votes to get Trump's GOP into power
