    A guy being cringe is just a guy being cringe, but a trans person being cringe is because all trans people are cringe.

    That shit effects anyone who isn’t white and straight and is honestly one of the most obvious aspects of white and cishet privilege.

    Around Christmas my cousin was talking about how they listen to various political talk radio shows to “get a broad understanding sniff” he talked about the right wing show, the ‘left’ wing show, and then He said “there’s a black political show” he listened to and that “the blacks were mad” about something and like fuckin lol, ok all black people feel this way bc some guy on satellite radio said something. :lmayo:

      Your cousin sounds like this old friend of mine who I rarely catch up with anymore. He has caught the anti-woke brain worms. After getting called out for his narrow views (by a couple of his Exes) he expanded his purview by listening to “a Black podcast.” His choice? Bad Faith. He listened to the episode where a panel questioned Why White people liked the Beatles so much when they aren’t very good. He took it all very literally and responds to everything in a very debate bro, logic™ manner without seeing the larger conditions.

        Lol damn I was thinking “well there’s worse ones than bad faith” but never overestimate a mayos ability to be fragile I guess haha

        Whats frustrating is my cousin is gay but they’re from the wealthy side of the family so they have big “dude who puts ‘no blacks lol just preference’ in their Grindr bio” energy. Idk literally everyone in my family sucks shit lol
