got really really mad at my (very leftist) mom cuz we were talking trans issues and she's usually so good, but ive been so on edge about it because of the whole, yaknow, genocide thing, and she said one thing that got a reaction out of me, and in response to that she said "now you're doing exactly what the right does" and oooh boy you can probably imagine and believe the level of anger that came out at that.

#i haven't yelled in anger like that at anyone in. well. idk i may never have tbh #not like At Them like ive yelled in anger about things to people in conversation #idk if ive ever had to not only defend but explain what the fuck #she just talked over me and it devolved into her being upset about??? something like totally different??#like she got really upset talking about something related but not. trans stuff. and for so long. to the point where i wasnt mad anymore #then we talked for like 3 more hours lol #it sounds like manipulation and it is but it's not purposeful it's her trauma response/defense mechanism #and we got back to the subject later once she calmed down and i had to be like 'i dont want anyone dead.'#'they want us dead. im nothing like them' and she finally understood #i also had to explain that you can never JUST talk about something and exclude the politics. it's ALL political you CANNOT separate it #there's no 'just the science' 'just the experience' etc it's. all. political.
