I don't have Muslim friends who preach for all out jihad and the destruction of American democracy.

I don't have conservative friends who preach for all out insurrection and the destruction of American democracy.

Some choices aren't difficult.

I wouldn't say "preach" but I do have conservative friends that openly tell me that being gay or trans is wrong. (I'm trans, and they know this). I'd love it if they kept that shit in the privacy of their own homes

These people aren't actually your friends

To be fair it rarely comes up, and they're not really judging me over it. It's just shit like complaining about pronouns. Or if we're talking about religion they're usually pretty clear that they don't think I'm disgusting or anything, they're just holding to what they think is biblical.

But it does kinda feel bad knowing that they'd vote away my right to HRT in a heartbeat
