i don’t understand what it’s like to exist feeling like you’re in the wrong body, but i will never ever disrespect someone who’s simply trying to live their life in a way that makes them happy. at the end of the day that’s what we all want, and besides, what is there to lose by treating people with kindness?
No, I’m not going to treat with respect people who constantly devalue the lives of those I care about and an entire community of people who has constantly been under attack for just *existing*. Transphobia is rooted in nothing but wilful ignorance and vile disregard for people’s safety and wellbeing. I’ll respect transphobes when their ilk stop being transphobic.
No, hating minorities and actively working to harm them is NEVER justifiable. You don’t get to “disagree” with people existing as who they are. That’s like trying to say some dumbass shit like “I don’t hate people with green eyes, I just disagree with having green eyes.” Learn to do and be better.
I’m not hating, I just don’t agree with how they think. It’s like if your favorite color was red and mine was yellow. I don’t hate you for liking red better I just like yellow because that’s my opinion. You could definitely still be my friend even though we both have different opinions
Being nice to people that are mean to me versus respecting their basic humanity are very different things. I do not wish great harm upon you, I can empathize with how you may have come to the conclusions you did, but I’m not going to be nice. If you’re an asshole, I’m going to tell you to fuck off.
