What a worthless comment. “Your freedom of speech is protected so long as it hasn’t been outlawed”.
Who knew.
This is why people say that Europe doesn’t have freedom of speech, because unlike the US there is nothing stopping legislature from simply banning any speech.
Trans people have always existed and weren’t even on people’s radar until we became the focus of a “culture war”. This is something I denied and battled internally for 15+ years before I decided to actually pursue it; I am markedly less passable as a result, but that’s what the “rational” transphobes want right? Wait until you’re a fully developed adult before making that choice? I did. My voice might be on the deep end of things, but I get gendered correctly in public by total strangers. So while I appreciate my life being called a trend, I can assure you it’s not.
Now, while I worry about my personal safety by way of being hate crimed in public due to some shitty rhetoric; you can keep posting about getting “bullied” online. Hope this clears things up <3
That being said, while I appreciate the sentiment of “dress how ya want” and I truly believe you’re genuine in saying that. Plenty of those who say that do not mean it though, and will be the first to throw stones. Which is why I ask you have just a little compassion on the matter. I know some people can be a lot. But most are just trying to get by, just like you and I.
It really doesn’t get any worse than people downvoting our posts or saying they don’t agree with us when we post things on the Internet for other people to read. So much bullying! I say we should go back to the good old times when people who felt insulted, whether the insult was real or imagined, would challenge you for a duel at sunset in front of the saloon.
Just use they/them. It’s universally understood and was in use long before you ever knew about LGBTQ at all. It’s really not hard. Whatever you think about gender or sex, this is a neutral acknowledgment that is a person. We can all at least agree on that.
I mean I’m not ecstatic about those things but it’s pretty easy to just ignore them. You know, to keep your shit to yourself. Or are you in some situation that forces you to encounter them on a regular basis?

As some say “freedom to swing your arms around ends where someone else’s face begins”
Although that’s maybe not such a good phrase after all, as swinging your arms around to intimidate is also not acceptable.
Yes, she is free to be a giant asshole with a persecution complex. And we are free to call her one.

You get called out for shitty behavior that can negatively impact people, and are upset that carries consequences. That’s not bullying fwiw

They actually have, be it the Inuit people, Native Americans, Greeks, Scandinavians, Romans, Indians, Japanese, Pacific Islanders, and likely many more. Phytoestrogens from soy and BPA plastics are not metabolized in a way that carries any feminizing effects, though can aggravate hormonal cancers. If you haven’t watched Oki’s series on the atrazine studies they’re fantastic. He interviews the scientist behind a lot of the research and talks on how Alex Jone’s undermined the research’s public image.

You think pronouns are stupid? How do you feel about verbs, and adjectives?

Mate this was cringe to 14 year olds in 2009
Yeah, freedom of speech is not freedom from criticism for what you choose to say. The government can’t lock you up solely for saying things it doesn’t like but other people also have freedom of speech and they are absolutely free to call you a shitcunt for being a shitcunt.
Like… my name?
Or the bare-minimum stand-in for my name?
