Peace is a lie. There is only passion.
Here's a radical concept:
The worst poc in the world, the most evil transgendered person ever to exist, the nastiest homosexual ever to live is as deserving of their identity, unfettered, as the best, most gracious white, cisgendered, heterosexual man.
I am, quite frankly, tired of when any minority "misbehaves" in anyway that it's not their "crimes" people attack, it's who they are. Anyone that isn't the perfect stereotypical version of whatever identity they have gets the comments, the derogatory comments, the dehumanizing name-calling (or worse).
It drives me fucking spare.
I remember a while ago there was a person on the news. They fucked up. And the newscaster felt the need to say this person is trans. Being trans has absolutely nothing to do with texting while driving a train.
(And if I hear the word "pretend" conflated with someone trans again I'm going to fucking scream.)
When I get in fights with certain members of my family, that's when the word "dyke" gets tossed around.
Certain people I know immediately use racist names the moment someone of colour/ethnicity does anything "wrong."
I don't care if it was an actual crime or if a person just happened to exist in someone else's world, it's not okay to tear away any intrinsic part of who they are.
Especially for people who claim to be allies. You don't get to choose who you support. Because if you only support basic human rights for people who fit into whatever criteria you have, YOU ARE A PART OF THE PROBLEM!
*deep breaths, ignores real life for a while*
