I'm not trans but I proudly support all of you. And recently I was training a new guy at work and his dumbass decided to start telling me his ideas about what he thinks of all this and he basically said, people can do what they want I guess, but I don't want people forcing those ideas into my kid's head. I grew up as a Christian and that ain't right... Which really pissed me off and I said have you not considered that you are the one forcing ideas into your kids head? I mean there's literally no one telling your child at school that they SHOULD choose to be a different person. If anything, they're trying to teach them that it's okay to be someone else if you feel that way. It stopped him dead in his tracks and I told him that you are only a Christian because someone forced that idea into your head when you were a child. You only feel this way about trans people because the media forced that idea into your head. You only believe this shit because your parents were (he admitted) racist pieces of shit who force these ideas into your head. And if you're going to actually say that trans people are trying to force this idea into people's heads, then you are a hypocrite. I doubt very seriously it got through to him but at least I stood my ground. I'm so fucking tired of these idiots and I'm not even the one who has to deal with their prejudice the way you do. I offer all of you every bit of strength and good vibes I possibly can to deal with the nonsense of the fucking morons this world has managed to produce.
