OK, I'm tired of this. I'm done. It's really hard to stop generalizing trans people as a bunch of angry jerks when I see every left-wing trans person trying to point fingers at people with every opportunity they can take.
It confirms right-wing asshole Milo Yiannopoulos's anti-trans rhetoric, like this trash: http://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2015/11/10/i-am-so-done-with-the-trans-outrage-brigade-why-im-supporting-drop-the-t/ And that freaks me out, because his beliefs disgust me (esp. his Christianity.) But I will still do my best to not blame trans people for their failed diplomacy with society. Our politicians and media are to blame for the shitty trans PR. They have told trans people that it's OK to be angry and that lashing out at people and pointing blame without evidence should be accepted. We should all get fucked in the ass by trans political activists just because trans individuals have gone through Hell living in a body that mocks their existence every day from the moment they are born. But we shouldn't encourage people to be mean. It just gives transphobes ammunition to deny them equitable treatment in society. Has anyone watched Zootopia, Disney's furry movie that has inspired lots of sexy fan art on Inkbunny and e621? If you haven't, you should. It has an important lesson. In the movie, there is a big speciesist war between prey animals and predator animals. At first, the anti-discrimination policies are a good thing: the main character (Judy) gets to keep her job in spite of the sexist, speciesist boss, because of an affirmative action initiative. But later, a prey politician sets up a fake catastrophe where predator animals keep attacking a bunch of prey animals in what seems to be an epidemic. Society panics, chalks it all up to speciesism without much thought, and elects the prey politician into power. Once the prey mayor is elected, the fear of predator animals is leveraged daily. Whenever something bad happens, it's always chalked up to speciesism. All predator animals are fired from government jobs, including the soft, sweet lion who tended the front desk and got fat on pastries all day. He was the only one at work who was respectful and kind to Judy, and the prey animal who replaced him was a jerk. But like others, Judy eventually bought into the hysteria, and she thought the new mayor was her friend. But she heard things in the new mayor's private conversations that turned her stomach, and she met a cute guy (Nick) who happened to be a predator animal. When she first met him, Judy was really scared and got out her predator repellent. Nick got very offended and dribbled it from her. Nick was hurt. The memories from his childhood flooded his mind's vision. As a child, Nick liked doing prey animal things and aspired to a traditionally prey animal career for the future. But all his prey animal friends who he wanted to impress teased him and beat him up. They said that he couldn't be who he wanted to be, that he's a predator, and that his "predator instincts" will kick in soon and he will snap at any minute, killing them all. Eventually, as they work together to investigate the epidemic, Nick tells her about his experiences as a so-called "predator". They grow very close and fall in love. But when they are called to report their findings, and Nick can't get to the stage in time for some reason, and Judy is pressured by the press for an explanation she doesn't have, she reverts to assuming "predatory instincts" were the cause. When Nick finally gets to the event and sees this, he is crushed, and Judy loses him, her best friend. I'm a furry and love the art, and it would be really cool if my boyfriend had a knot, but does anyone really want our world to turn into Zootopia? I don't! Sorry this message is long as fuck. I'm really hungry for my tofu scramble dinner and can't focus on making it shorter. P.S. Being vegan and gay has taught me what shitty activism and attitudes do. Don't you hate PETA? Yeah, thought you did. Well, that's the kind of bullshit I see with the trans lobby, and it's a major turnoff, and I'm not supporting it.
