What the fuck is wrong with you?
Yep, that’s my go to as well.
I play a lot of rocket league and the kids love homophobic slurs, I just call them pathetic.
The “do you hear yourself right now?” is a good one, gonna use it well
Pfff. Everytime my father in law goes on a racist diatribe I tell him, “Mustafa is what now?”. He is my Egyptian brother in law and the kindest and hospitable person I know.
I also very dislike my father in law, used to be a somewhat good guy, then he got old and racist.
Chronic lead poisoning at an early age is a hell of a drug.
“What the fuck” with a disgusted look is my go to.
This is legit why I have like two male friends left tbh. After 2016 I stopped giving a fuck. The problem… or maybe the cause in a way… is that I’m an oddly assertive introvert so it’s very easy for me to end up in a situation where I’m doing nothing but going off on people and making drama.
I usually ask what the hell it even matters to them and I usually get the Republican talking points. They’re not going to change their minds because you shame them. Haters gonna hate. It’s a shame but humans have a very long history of hating those that are not like them. Keep trying though, you never know…
Oh hey it’s that mean voice in my head
I’m going to use all of these except the “I won’t let you” because that could trigger the right wing persecution complex, and/or sound like fighting words.
I want them to think normal people (not me tbh) are put off by their weird shit.
it also reminds me of the whiteknighting “alpha” cliche; “i will protect u, my princess”. maybe thats just me.
“I won’t let you talk to them that way” is a bad one that doesn’t belong on this list. It implies you’re in control of them, which you’re not. It’s essentially a bluff, and if they call it, you need to be able to beat them up.
To add more good phrases to this list, the phrases need to imply that the person still has their own agency (because they do), and that it’s just a dipshit way to use that agency. The other phrases are great.
Lul, yes, I was supervised how much to think about using “disguising” causes any haters that automatically think you are on their side.
There’s one thing I really don’t understand. And this question has no agenda except that I would like to. Also if I use the word “he” inappropriately, please for the sake of the question let that slide…
Say a woman transitions to a man. He’s a man now, right? So why is it necessary that he be called trans and someone who was born a man be called cis? I mean if the goal is equality, and it should be, why should we know or care which is the case? And the same question goes for cis/trans women.
Well I would assume trans-men are smarted and don’t really need another guy to tell them. But then trans people like Caitlyn Jenner exist and she is dumb as shit. She has got to be the single most hated trans person ever.
It’s just useful terminology. It comes up when it comes up.
I don’t spend much time calling my girl friends trans-her, if that’s what you’re asking.
good question! You used the correct pronoun. Even more correct: that man was Assigned Female At Birth. He was always a man. You’re right, the point is exactly that it shouldn’t matter, just like bi/homo/hetero, or nonbinary/female/male. But as long as rightists unfortunately make it matter, we need to talk about it.
Using the cis/trans labels are good when the experiences are different in some important way or it’s worth pointing out for some reason. Often it’s just better to refer to both cis and trans men as just “men” and cis and trans women as just “women”. It depends on the context. These online forums tend to be rather political or tied to identity in a way that a lot of more real life conversations won’t be. The cis and trans labels can probably be left off more often in real life than you see them used here.
most of the times the difference between me and a cis man is not important, so i simply say i’m a man. Sometimes the difference is important, and then i clarify i’m a trans man
90% of the time and most people i meet will have no idea i’m transgender, the other 10 are doctors, people i want to have sex with, and those i’ve talked with about trans experiences
This is the correct way to do it

It’s actually really rare for anyone to talk politics to me, but that could be because, out of survival instinct, most people think I’m disinterested in politics or know I won’t just nod along.
One time though, and I forget exactly what they said, but they took issue with the Unicorn Rainbow soft serve that the dairy 4h was serving and I told the “you need better hang ups”.
Believe it or not though, I avoid those types and only interact with them because of work obligations.
Fuck being a better ally. This is some dystopian mindfuck right here.
I don’t mind most marine mammals. But sea lions? I could do without sea lions.
