    YOU CAN’T TURN LGBTQ+ FROM SEEING IT OR READING ABOUT IT

    but you can see yourself and come out of the closet, and the phobes hate that. there's no getting through to them that we didn't make their kid gay or trans or whatever, they're just shitty parents unworthy of trust.

      One of my shitty relatives is a high school teacher, and recently was bragging to other family members about how there's, "none of that «synonym for automobile transmission that's also a slur» bullshit at MY school!"

      cringe

      You not being aware of transgender kids existing isn't the weird flex you think it is. It means that your students don't feel safe around you.

      yeah, the goal of such rhetoric and the legislation it produces is to drive queer people as deep into the closet as possible, whether they're already out or not.

        It’s also to

        CW mentions of suicide, genocide

        drive LGBT+ people to suicide. It also serves to kill queer people by making us less likely to seek medical attention and less likely to report hate crimes

      That’s the inherit problem the phones don’t want to admit that their world won’t be perfect because it doesn’t fit their narrative of everybody must think like me. Even though a lot of their phobia is based on a book of fairy tales and someones personal interpretation of it.
