Thinking about how transphobes are always like "debate with me! Justify your existence to me! Explain why you're mad! Make this make sense to me!" But you can be as levelheaded and straightforward as possible, you can beat yourself down and make yourself small and nonthreatening or you can be stern and hold your ground. You can post countless sources and news articles. You can give them statistics. Undeniable proof. But they just don't fuckin care. And the second we become mad and aggressive they use it against us. They say they don't take us seriously because we're too sensitive and irrational. But that's a lie. They won't listen to us or take us seriously no matter how we act because they just fucking hate us! There is nothing we can possibly do to be better to these people.
#thinking abt how like. someone i was friends with in highschool posted on Facebook a meme abt trans people getting mad at Hogwarts legacy#and he seemed to believe he was neutral leaning and open minded#but when i pointed out why people were mad and posted articles with sources and very thoroughly explained myself#coincidentally all of my comments with proof to back my argument kept disappearing 🤔 only leaving the comments where i was arguing#and he was all like 'i just dont understand why your mad but youre allowed to feel this way' deleting all my attempts to educate him#getting laugh reacted and his friends coming into the conversation sending me transphobic propoganda and mocking me#and he didnt delete those comments. of course not#and im sure none of those people thought they were transphobic. im sure all of them thought they were allies or whatever the fuck#idk man im like shutting down latley i dont have the energy to debate with people and sit there being patient with them#im sick of talking to brick walls im sick of having to justify my existence#im sick of people treating me notably worse at work when im wearing my nametag#im sick of being scared and frustrated all the time meanwhile im called irrational and reactive for being scared and frustrated#transphobia
