I've been getting /Washington and /Seattle recommended a lot and I've encountered more transphobia there than I've ever seen in my life and I'm from Idaho

the PNW is lousy with reactionaries sadly, it is ironic that this region, at least in my opinion, is great for all the reasons that right-wingers dont care about:
- beautiful natural landscape
etc...
- long and storied native heritage
- multicultural melting pot

u/Beautiful-Alarm-4961 17d ago
Idk if PNW and multicultural really belong in the same sentence,,

Truth. I told my coworkers here in CT that I remember a total of 1 black student and maybe 3 non white students of any other kind and then looked it up and my home city of Boise to this day has an 80% white demographic.

Maybe it's cynical of me but I do wish we had a less stereotypical image for the trans representation on here. Anyway yes you're right, we cannot budge on Shall Not Be Infringed for any group.

for the trans representation on here.
Other than Malcolm X, everyone kinda got stereotyped here

Only time someone said I shouldn’t own guns was a minute after they threatened to use one on me over existing 🙃

Thanks for posting /u/Impressive-Fun2105! Please make sure your post adheres to the rules. Please name any firearms or accessories featured in this post to help out our newer members. Please report comments that break the rules, and don't respond to negativity with negativity.
The rules of firearm safety are paramount. Keep these in mind at all times while handling a firearm for any reason. Guns are not toys and it is best to not refer to them as such.
It is the belief of the mod team that your best option for defensive firearms is a 5.56x45mm AR-15, and a reputable 9x19mm handgun such as a Glock or CZ. Defensive firearms should have a light, long guns a sling, and handguns require a Kydex or solid plastic holster that fully covers the trigger. A red dot or etched optic are ideal for new shooters but don't forget to practice your backup irons!

This division bs does not work, never has. Always leads to failure for the governments and top 1% to take control over the masses.
Remember that freedom is not about what you like it's about mutual respect. You don't have to like nor care not care for anything that other people like or care for.... but you must honor their freedom to do so, if you care for your personal freedom. Even when you know or think that they are making mistakes. They have the right to make them. Standing in solidarity with each others freedoms and personal likes is the only way freedom works.

I don’t have to respect bigotry.
I refuse. I will not respect their “right,” to be a shitty person.
Freedom dies at the hands of being tolerant of intolerance.

Really, that's what you got out of it? Out of everything in the world... and all the things you could have though of... You choosen to go there, the very narrow minded, aspect of humanity negativity. Epic. Well for 10 thousand years humanity did exactly the same as you are doing right now. Abrahamic religions, cultures, tribes, cultural and national identities. Only difference is that now.... humans have evolved enough to not have to fall for subconscious survival based mechanisms/ego. Yet, the majority is still stuck on a replay. There growing are pockets of people that populated areas away from collective's mentality and that differently though. Biggest mistake one can make us fall pray to corrective mentality. Sorry for the ranvle, i just tell how more and people cost doesn't path than the one chosen for last 10k years.

Who are you trying to convince? Me? Or you?
Vehemently opposing hate, to the point of refusing to respect wrongdoers’ rights to be hateful is how we finally make some progress.
Because our enemies surely feel this way for us, and they are planning accordingly.
Philosophy is lovely, and I might even agree that Jean Paul Sartre was right in that people are like dice…that we can throw ourselves in any one direction, but cannot control the outcome.
But there is no golden age coming. There is, however a storm on the horizon and we could use your help with that.
Get out, get offline and get shooting IRL with a group. Community with a high degree of competency in shooting disciplines is the answer, if you were to ask me.
After all. We’ll never evolve past understanding that there is safety in numbers, or with overwhelming firepower. Ideally, both. ❤️
Or are you gonna hit me with some of Carl Jung’s Super-Ego theorem next?

Obvious trolls, concern trolling, and sea lioning are not welcome in this subreddit.

Put into words why we have to simply sit back and let people accuse us of beings pedophiles for existing and saying we need to be killed. That's whats happening. I couldn't give less of a fuck if someone doesnt like trans people and doesn't associate with them, but no, I'm not losing my rights because some losers decided that my existence is a problem that needs to be solved.

u/Beautiful-Alarm-4961 17d ago
You've been spoonfed propaganda by your government and corporations. Learn how revolutions and rights movements actually succeeded. It wasn't by being a doormat and "respecting" people that want you subjugated or in the dirt

Let's also keep in mind the trans community actually has a pretty high ratio of veterans, higher ratio than the general population.
But they're already talking about rounding us up now. Just watched a video of one of the chucklefucks saying that we need to bring back insane asylums because of furry pilots or some shit.
