Yeah, fuck me for admitting a mistake, right?

Right? Fuck me for admitting I made a mistake. Might as well target trans people now since that’s what people think of me.

I appreciate your words. It really does suck to feel like the enemy just to exist as a white male despite wanting to literally fight those who would deny women their rights.

But I’m 6’3 and 200lb lean, so I know I’m in the running for “men you should be concerned about” even though literally no woman on earth needs to fear me. I’ve never even asked my wife for a hand job in the 10 years so I’ve known her.

I guess the question is why wouldn’t people trust me. You’d be the only one to have.

Yeah, that’s my bad. I didn’t think that multiple people were advocating for trans people to self exterminate.

Please point to where I assumed you’re trans. Don’t take this as me disregarding your other points, though.

I’m disregarding your other points because it’s clear you’re unaware of how to operate in a fascist theocracy. Luckily my being part Jew lets me in on the process.

But, it you have a strong plan of attack for trans people to resist the government, I’d be interested to hear it.

Thank you, and I appreciate you saying it’s not all men. It’s just hard being a cis white male who has only ever advocated for the rights of those who have less agency than me.

Like, I totally get why most people think the worst of me. I’m a tall, heavily muscled, white male with tattoos. I know that I’m scary just by existing, and it really sucks because I’m the friendliest guy you’ll ever meet.

But I’m the guy who would volunteer on college campuses to walk women home so they feel safe. Like, insisting you take picture of me with my ID so you can send it to a friend to make sure you get home ok.

I’m talking about the fact that trans people are at an extreme risk in this current administration. I’m talking about the fact that I said that trans people need to hunker down and hide because the government literally wants to exterminate them.

I’m talking about you arguing against this because you think that trans people rising up will change things. But if trans people listened to you, they’ll die.

You’re literally advocating for the death of most trans people.

Edit: I might have fucked up and thought you were another person arguing that trans people should martyr themselves instead of hiding.

I can’t tell you what the trans people without an option to hide should do. I’m not a full trans advocate. I believe they should be treated like any other human, but I’m one of those people I mentioned that your plight isn’t even on my radar. I’m supporting a chronically ill spouse, so that’s my focus.

But my focus is that of many other Americans. You’re not even on our radar.

The trans people who can’t leave need to do whatever the fuck they can to blend in. Disappear from all social media, especially Lemmy since it’s anti-privacy.

Also, fuck you for daring to suggest that my point is to throw trans people under the bus. You’re the one advocating that trans people put themselves in harms way for absolutely no reason.

I’m suggesting that trans people disconnect and construct their own safety networks to stay safe. You’re suggesting that trans people buy guns and shoot federal agents who will use that as an excuse to ramp up their extermination plan.

You clearly don’t grasp the gravity of the situation if you think that the current political atmosphere is treating trans people like blacks or gays before then.

But your rhetoric is basically saying that Jews in Nazi Germany didn’t fight hard enough.

I’m sorry that the men in your life have made you feel that way about my entire gender. We’re not all child rapists, I can assure you.

For what it’s worth, when I was 23 I broke up with my 18 year old girlfriend because the difference in maturity levels made me uncomfortable.

My wife is actually still 5 years younger than me (she was in her late 20s when we met), but she’s definitely more mature than I am. Hell, her friends are all older than me.

And not once have I ever done anything that could remotely be interpreted as pressuring her into sex. Hell, our relationship has kinda suffered because I won’t try to initiate sex if I know she’s feeling bad, but she’s chronically sick so she’s always feeling bad.

I love salty cookies! Once in high school a girl made day of the dead biscuits, but instead of tablespoons of salt she used cups. I still ate that shit, but my prescription amphetamines make me constantly dehydrated.

Fair in the instance of Plex, but I’m happy to pay for the feature with Home Assistant.

My apologies. Hopefully the amazingness of the cookies overpowered the grossness of the description.
