I dunno, three comments ago you made a joke out of it. But the thing is, I don't actually mind that you made a joke about it, because the point of the joke is not to tell trans people to kill ourselves. Maybe one day you'll understand my meme well enough to extend the same good faith to me. Or you can go ahead and keep thinking that calling out transphobes is transphobic.

I did not make a joke out of it.

That literally does not matter. The point is that it's a delicate topic that should be handled with some basic fucking sensitivity and not used as a punchline to score political points.

Besides that, if you're going to go around baselessly accusing people of telling trans people to kill themselves, then I get to accuse you of the same.

This whole thread is disgusting and inappropriate. You literally pointed someone towards suicide resources as a way of condescending to them. I can't believe you can't see the problem with that.

I think the genocide in Gaza broke a lot liberals' brains. Something snapped. The mask is off. Leftists are the enemy. Dissent must be crushed. Everyone they disagree with is a troll/bot/Russian/Chinese

The old world is dying and the new world struggles to be born. Now is the time of monsters

❤️ To you, though. Not everyone is like this. Not even all libs are this callous. But it is a growing trend 😞
