  • Absolutely, that is the exact thing I’m alluding to. When people feel societal pressures ease against who they are, people are more comfortable being open about it. Or they might feel more comfortable considering that things might not be the way they thought. Someone else in the thread brought up being left handed and how they would teach people to write with their right. We all know what happened when that stopped.

    But yeah, there is a certain thread of hate that shouldn’t be ignored here. Trans-exclusionary radical feminism disgusts me in a particular way whenever I see it. It’s a worse version of class warfare and it just seems entirely selfish and obtuse to me.








  • Comrade.

    I’ve gone through a similar thing. I made a friend in Jr. High and we were best friends for over a decade. We went through a lot together. Religious transitions, crimes, gnarly drug adventures, shootings, you fuckin’ name it. We had a very edgy way of looking at the world and interacting with it.

    Then Bernie came along, and we got swept into politics.

    For a while, we vibed like crazy on it. We went to rallies together, bought merch for each other and shit. We would talk back and forth about some things but ultimately nothing came between us.

    Until, he somehow found his way back into Christianity.

    From there, he descended into a homophobic bigot playing the ‘just asking questions’ card. I tried so many times to get him to see things another way, but it always ended up in a screaming match. Fuck, it was so bad that he was the reason for multiple relapses (I’m an alcoholic).

    In the end, I just couldn’t do it anymore. A person who I once sought comfort in was now a source of rage. I knew that trying to maintain that relationship would only result in pain and sadness. So I just…. Stopped one day.

    I’ve heard he’s having a kid, or had a kid. Maybe I should reach out… But I’d rather not open that wound. ❤️
