    Would you be willing to tell us about it? Why is life so much worse now than the period of stuff like the AIDS crisis, Section 28 and Romer v Evans… Before the widespread recognition and legalization of same sex marriage and the lowered barriers for trans people to change their identification documents that resulted.

    I think you have people legitimately confused for your reasons because a lot of that history is painted as essentially a war and mass genocide by inaction primarily of lesbian, gay and bisexual people. While I know of a few of my trans elders have said that there was less individual heat on trans identities as there are now, it still doesn’t seem like on the whole it was a great time. People were still murdered for being trans and a lot of the fight for non-binary trans people were struggling with much deeper form of erasure.

    I think people are concerned that what you are putting forward is your personal experience which may be narrower than the full encompassing experience of the entire LGBTQIA which it is assumed the question is being asked about. The birds eye veiw, of all the identities and the culture of the movement from that full ten year span. It’s generally assumed by younger people that most things are better now because at least we aren’t dropping like flies so it’s natural that the reaction to your opinion is disbelief.

        Ookay… That is a very outsized violent reaction. I think you may have had a bit too much internet for one day.

              The only incivility is your blaming victims for defending themselves. And for that, your hypocrisy is glaringly, obvious, you massive piece of fucking shit.

              When you vote for Trump, know that I’m coming for you and your fascist kind

          It always strikes me a strange that mods, like you don’t consider the incessant trolling to be incivil, only the self-defense to be incivil.

          How much victim blaming can you stomach before you acknowledge you’re a disgusting hypocrite?

          You are a vile piece of fucking shit. And I hope the van you give me as worth it, as you burn in the lake, a fucking fire, you goddamn piece of other diarrhea.
