    Now imagine how much worse it is actually being here and being one of the targeted groups.

        Yeah dude that’s probably worse than being forcibly detransitioned and sent to a camp in Guantanamo or El Salvador.

          As a Canadian who’s sick of Amerikkkas shit, yeah… both can be bad at the same time. They don’t exist in a vacuum from one another.

            I’m not saying it’s not bad or scary, I’m saying it’s worse to be here and a target. Living in Canada is the fucking dream for some people here right now. You’d think this wouldn’t be particularly outrageous to say, and yet.

          That stuff isn’t happening here (yet) because we’re fighting in ways that you refused to for the last decade. Even then, that fight involves sacrificing our economy which will cause all forty million of us to suffer and possibly facing outright military invasion. Apparently that’s worth belittling us for. Fuck you.

            If you’ve ever wondered how you’d treat a trans person living in an oppressive dictatorship, now you know.

            Honestly cannot emphasize enough how deranged it is to say that “hey, living under this is worse than living next to it” is somehow belittling you.

            Edit: also, the hilarity of doing this in a community with a giant rainbow banner in the sidebar isn’t lost on me.

                If flinging abuse at me makes you feel like you have more control over the situation, go for it. You think this is scary? Your passport isn’t even at risk. Get a reality check on who is actually being fucked by this regime.

                  My passport is certainly at risk if my country gets annexed. The entire world is getting fucked by this regime, but unlike you we didn’t get the chance to vote on it.
