    I’ve learned a bit about trans life and issues from boards like these. The problem is that people assume that you know everything, and making a bad assumption is a personal attack.

    So learning about trans issues is this annoying game of: put my foot in my mouth, get piled on by a bunch of pissed off internet commenters, try to engage so I can learn something, wade through the vitriol to find the one or two people not putting words in my mouth, learn a new thing.

    It’s exhausting and makes me not want to try most of the time.



  • My grandma said some dumb shit like this to my mom over Facebook. When she asked me why I wasnt coming over for Thanksgiving I told her, and she responds with something along the line of “it was a joke”, “it was online”, “it wasn’t real”, etc.

    I said grandma, you called my mom a lazy bitch, I ain’t talking to you until you apologize. She (on facebook) called me a spoiled millennial piece of shit. 🤷
