So.
It's been months and months. And I've been watching. The DK front page crew has valiantly attempted to do the right thing and occasionally put up the attacks on trans folks in diaries and explain how fucked up it is that the Republicans are going after the most vulnerable of the LGBTQIAA community.
Us trans folks.
We're a tiny monitory. It's not like gays and lesbians where they make up about 5% of the population and at this point even you're crazy right wing uncle Jethro knows a gay cousin or two and says "Wail I dunt curr us long us they aint truyun tuh hit un me!"
Nah, us trannies are much more under the radar.
Which makes us PERFECT targets for the religious right, and APPARENTLY for a bunch of y'all too.
Do you know the emotion I feel every SINGLE time I see a diary on the Dkos front page that has to do with trans folks?
Its dread.
Because I know what I'm gonna have to slog through. I know that the article will be well written, well meaning, likely a tad clueless, but that's ok, and that then the comment section will have transphobes in it that would make the goddamn Daily Stormer blush.
Because this site, much like every other "liberal" site, has a transphobe problem.
The last time I dealt with this I lost my temper and for the first time in my 17 years on this site got comments hidden.
So this time I'm just finna speak out in a diary.
Here's the line:
If you think trans kids shouldn't be able to have puberty blockers to give them time? You're a transphobe.
If you think that trans women shouldn't be able to be in women's sports?
You're a transphobe
If you believe that ROGD exists?
You're a transphobe
If you don't support informed consent treatment for trans folks?
You're a transphobe.
And you might as well go hang out with people who share your views like Nick Fuentes, David Duke, Chris Cantwell, and Richard Spencer, because I have zero patience for your shit.
