My coworker keeps talking about how his son, now a baby, can be gay but to just not bring his boyfriend home or kiss in his house. I can’t help but think about what a failure of a father and a human being he is, and I’m sorry that his son won’t have parents who love him unconditionally.
aaaaa why can't I have fucking got on hormones for like £50 a year at 12 when i knew I was a girl, now I have to spend tens of thousands and time and pain to get imperfect risky surgeries
I will not likely show up much in history.. but if my personal data somehow survives to be analyzed meaningfully in in such a future context, they will see that I was not part of the problem.
I think, for the most part, trans kids would be helped by their local community, or at least tolerated and included. It's the propaganda and politicization to whip the small minded folk into a frenzy where it has become this national/international pure hate and fear fest. Inclusion and respect for all!
Bullshit. We've got climate disaster, oil shortages and soon food shortages. The air is unbreathable and the water undrinkable. Everything is full of microplastics and we are exterminating entire ecosystem.
After it all falls apart, and a new civilization rises from the ashes, no one will even know or care.
In a thousand year it won't even be a foot note in history.
I'll be down voted into oblivion, but that won't change the brutal reality of life.

Like yes they're being an insufferable dick about it. But like MMW Americans are months, not years, away from famine and drought. Pollinator levels are plummeting. Precipitation patterns are shifting drastically. Meteorologists are shitting their pants over weather phenomena never recorded before and/or not seen in over a century.
I can't prove he's not just taking the opportunity to punch down... He may be an asshole but he is not full of shit here. We could save millions of lives by sounding the alarms now and taking steps in our local communities.

Oh, you're one of those "Just being brutally honest" people.
To save you any confusion, the "down voted to oblivion" part is related to your piss-poor attitude and absence of empathy, and not the objective state of things.

The fascist of the USA must be resisted to stop the atrocities.

Unfortunately the fascists of the USA have the support of the populace at large. It's going to be a slog.

The no kings protests need to come back.

You mean the quarterly No Kings BBQ?
Americans need to learn how to properly protest. Take lessons from the French, say.

I think it’s better to encourage them if we want Trump out sooner.

Whereas I think merely ousting Trump is a bandaid on an aortal bleed-out.

Reducing inequality can be done at the same time. That orange hoser hates extra pay for overtime.

They kinda don't though, the voter turnout is at the lowest it's ever been
The real issue is there's 5 groups;
The majority are those first 3 groups.

Elder millennial here, we were raised with mainstream homophobia. I guarantee he doesn't think he's homophobic.

If lucky, the boy will rebel, and it will go one of two ways;
Either-or it's a win-win for the son

I upvoted your comment.
Off-topic but why are you on SJW? It is known as one of the least trans friendly lemmy instances coughs second admin has problematic statements cough.

Oh what has the admin done? I wasn't aware. I just picked it as it seemed like a fairly normal instance after lemm.ee shut down

“Which trans kids? We don’t have any” - the masses apparently :-(
I do hope the future will be better
QueenHawlSera@piefed.social · 8 pts · 4d
I only hope that's true, I worry that in the future being trans will be fully criminalized.
The "Well we can have trans rights or women's rights." line seems to be working to suppress trans people
EmotionalTea@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2d
Those people are gonna be in for an awful surprise when we don't have trans rights or women's rights 🙄

You'd think the TERFs would realize the "Repeal the 19th" weirdos are talking about their right to vote.

Conservatives are pure evil. If you are ever unsure of the morality of any topic, simply watch conservatives and choose the opposite.

No one asked for your micro aggression.
