    How am I in any way defending her. Because I say living in a police state would be worse. If I say having radiation sickness would be worse is it to much. Nothing is worse than the gender thing? I think I get what your asking. Not in a long time but plenty when I was young. You have to remember though that in those days it was totally common for gym teachers to refer to boys in girl terms I think because they thought it would motivate them or some shit. So not just jerk kids.

      And you feel that qualifies you to speak about what should and should not be done in response to transphobia, does it?

        No. Being human qualifies me to remark on another remark another human made. My comment isn’t even about trasnphobia as I have said like a million times. Its that she makes this delusional thing about being put in jail for speech which is a way worse situation. And yes that end part im making a qualification on how bad transphobia might be but I don’t need some sort of degree to have an opinion on human nature. I am a human. Anyway I will take having my sex misidentified constantly over living in a non free state. What is wrong with you that you would think thats a better situation?!

          You sure do know alot about the proper way to respond to an oppression you don’t experience. Very impressive, that.

            So fine. I will remember that when political issues come up. Sorry im not taking any trans related issues because FfaerieOxide feels Im not qualified on the issue. So barring that I would vote for this guy and since I can’t take it into account not to vote for him. Man I feel so bad for all of them going to the gulag but what can I do as im not qualified on this issue and I certainly would not want to overstep my bounds.

        Look. When you start jailing people for being rude as fuck, it’s a problem.

        There is zero requirement to be a target for trans hate to know that. Don’t be a jackass

          You’re so kind to defend the racist billionaire’s right to dehumanize people. Where would she be without you looking after her interests?

              You sure do put alot of effort into defending hatemongers.
              At any point here you could have shut the fuck up but you keep deciding JK needs your backing.
