Honestly I A Minor Thing That Conservatives Do That I Find Incredibly Telling About Their Psychology

Honestly I a minor thing that conservatives do that I find incredibly telling about their psychology is they'll take adjectives that describe minority groups and use them as nouns.

Instead of saying "a black person" they'll say "a black"

Instead of "a gay person" they'll say "a gay"

Instead of "a transgender person" they'll say "a transgender" (well, when they don't just say a slur)

I don't think it's a conscious thing, but I think it tells us a lot about the conservative mindset. They don't view us as people - they view us as an out group fundamentally separated from personhood that fully encapsulates who and what we are and makes us innately and radically different from "normal people".

This was further borne out in an argument I got into with a conservative back when I still had a Twitter account. The guy steadfastly refused to accept the idea that a trans person could be a normal person because trans people are only 1% of the population. When I pointed out that literally everyone has things about them that are statistically very rare, his only response was to scream incoherently at me about self-mutilation and grooming children.

real cause since I'm not a fem transboy people say weird shit abt me.

if i dont pass, they give me shit for it. if i do pass, they give me shit for it. wtf am i supposed to do??

(nothing wrong with fem transboys tho)

Holy fucking shit queer people really fucking hate masculinity

Like, I know anyone following me has seen me talk about this shit but fuck

This queer movie review podcast is talking about 70s glam rock fashion (a favorite of mine) and the one host says "an effeminate man is his true self, because masculinity is fake, the only way to be real is to be feminine"

Like, what the fuck? First of all, way to discount generations of queer people, and displays of queer masculinity, great job. Second, tell me you've never spoken to a trans man or a butch or literally anyone who's ever been forced into a feminine social role or feminine presentation without telling me.

I hate how pervasive this attitude is. I hate how it makes it uncomfortable, at best, to exist in queer spaces as someone who is not, can not, and does not want to be sufficiently feminine.

Thinking abt that time where I heard someone on the bus say

"yeah I wont call her Eric, her name is [my deadname], people cant just change their names"

misgendering me for no reason? low blow

my dad was born in Germany and has a German name, but when he moved to America, he changed his name to an American one. Is that bad too? Or just me changing my name, since I'm trans?

TERF's will discriminate against trans people because of their gender without realizing its completely contradictory to the feminist movement.

Everygay, please rise for our national anthem:
