also, if i see someone refer to other people like “trans activist” when theyre not trans or “black activist” and theyre not black, i take that as a red flag and you should too. a trans person advocating trans rights isnt a “trans activist” theyre a fucking human being advocating for their rights and that is a NORMAL THING TO DO as a human being whose rights are being stepped on by other human beings. if youre a racist piece of shit and a black person gives you some tough education, theyre not an aggressive black activist tarnishing the name of all black people. theyre a human being responding to you disrespecting their humanity.

as soon as you label people fighting for their rights as somehow “advocating for themself”, youre politicizing an entire group of people’s lives. why would you do that unless you were bigoted & didnt sympathize with what they go through? i see trans people fighting terfs as rational human beings reacting how i would in their situation. if you see them as “trans activists,” youre forcibly labeling them with a very loaded phrase that implies a lot more than just “natural human response to discrimination.” why?

anyways im done now, i just had to get that out of my system because for some reason i guess i just couldnt believe someone would really write the shit i was reading earlier. there’s plenty of good people out there who deserve far more of our focus and attention than the pieces of shit who kick and scream at us for it.
