rant post, transphobia, long-ish, large amount of sarcasm used
I had a fight on reddit with someone.It was so annoying, it was about transphobia.
And what angered me the most weren't even his argument (tho, don't get me wrong, they were shit also)
But the fact that, after couple of comments, he said "This is why you are all annoying, I just threw my two cents about the topic, and you come here and feel attacked and fight"
This angered me, because I see this so fucking much.
Because, when trans person says something, it's seen as annoying, and pushing an agenda down "normal" people's throats. But when he says his dogshit opinion, it's just normal thing to say, not pushing anything, not annoying at all.
I see this kind of fucking opinions almost everyday, and that's totally fine, not pushing anything, just cool chill dudes saying stuff.
But once trans/gay/any minority speaks up, suddenly it's just annoying and pushing an ideology and "normal people don't care".
I hate this fucking duality, you don't even acknowledge anything I've said, you just use me, daring to respond to your majesty, as a proof that we are annoying.
Because who cares that from my perspective, he is the annoying one, he is the one pushing an agenda down my throat. My opinion on the matter not only is not important, it's not his, so he gets annoyed, so I am automatically wrong.
Trust me honey, I could've been 1000 times more annoying than you ever imagined, and at least 99% of times I'd commit the annoyance, it would be totally justified. But it'd be exhausting.
He has to see opinion that opposes his views maybe once in a while, I have to see opinions that oppose my very existance almost daily. But yeah, sure, he is the annoyed one, because someone dared to speak up about it, and oh my godddd u had to talk to a trans person and (very badly) explain your bullshit. Boo fucking hoo, let me play you a sad tune on the worlds smallest violin.
And also, the fucking nerve he had, to say that I felt attacked about what he said. Where, first of all, I was basically nothing but respectful towards him, and heck, in certain parts I even agreed with him, about some more nuanced topics where he was accidentally kinda right. But yeah, sure, I felt attacked, I was the snowflake, that just HAD to respond to him and be annoying.
Second of all, FUCKING YEAH I felt attacked dude u just said that trans people being called delusional is totally fine. That IS an attack. But I didn't even act in a way that would show it. Because I tried to have a conversation, but ofc, it failed.
Because the sheer act of opposing his opinion is an idological pushback and it's just soooo annoying.
I hope you have a good life person, may you become better. You won't, but I hope you will.
