    I feel so bad for Dylan Mulvaney in particular… she can’t do anything or associate with anyone without the conservatives going ballistic. This is what they want for all of the transgender community. Even happening to see one offhandedly is “shoving it down their throats”.

      Yes. That’s exactly it. The fact that transgender people exist in the world is abhorrent to them so it’s an affront to their senses that anyone would acknowledge them as human beings. They need something to hate in order to feel alive and they’ve latched onto trans-hate as their new socially acceptable hatred.

      I’m grateful for the brave public figures who are absorbing so much hatred and rage but standing tall in who they are none the less. We need them to fight back against the hatred just by virtue of existing in the public space so that we can move forward, however slowly.

        This is why, some time ago, I decided I was never going to try to go the “stealth” road. Society, and particularly the subset of it I was a member of, really needed me not to. I don’t regret that decision… but I am worried that one day it will get me thrown into a woodchipper.

          I share the same thoughts. I’ll never be quiet or hidden, but I do think it might get me killed someday.

            It’s really fucking sad you guys feel this way and for no good discernible reason other than hate and that you’re a small enough group that it’s easy to bully you with little to no recourse. It’s sad there are many people who can’t get their head out of their ass and look at and hear the actual people affected by this bullshit. Luckily there are many people who are absolutely disgusted by the state of the world and the hate campaign against trans people, hopefully we’re enough to protect you guys. I got a little brother I’m getting gray hairs worrying about with all this shit man, but I try to keep in mind that there are good people out there. Lots of support at rallies and protests I’ve been to

      I didn’t know about her either, but from what I’m reading she’s literally just a trans girl who got popular on TikTok and… that’s it? It’s pathetic that the mere EXISTENCE of trans people, and in this case just the fact that other people are okay with them existing, is enough to make conservatives shake in their boots. It’s downright ridiculous.

      This is the guy who makes tons of “t-slur semen” posts, right? The name is familiar from what an absurdity he is. He’s a strategist? Really?

    So a person who I didn’t even know existed until they started freaking out poses with a mascot and it’s time to boycott. It’s not like when Trump literally promoted Goya products while president. I just want to feel safe and not have to worry about is my conservative dad is going to hate me for coming out as trans.

    He has joined the league of commercial mascots who now strike fear into conservatives. Tony the tiger, a lady M&M, a chicken, Surly the bud light beer bottle… who else? Lol

    I love it. Let’s have her pose with every brand that she can; so that the conservatives get tired of trying to keep up with the brands they’re cancelling. 👿

    I also found away to cut down on car emissions in conservative areas, and it involves Dylan, a F-150, a gas stove on a trailer, and a gas furnace on the same trailer :3

    The next boycott is gonna be painful, lol.

      They’re for using power and lies to hurt people. Actually that’s pretty much what they’ve always been about. Even if you read stuff from the 1800s it’s the same pitches by the same general group of people.

      It’s the sinilar to how men say that “women are so emotional and can’t think rationally” just to have a massive rageful tantrum when the dishwasher isn’t empy or Greg at work told him that his car isn’t the best or something.

      It’s actually the conservatives who are the snowflakes, who are the ones that get triggered by almost everything, and who then proceed to cancel said thing

        Pssht anger isn’t a real emotion like those wammens get! It’s just how real men get things done!

        shotguns beer, crushes it against forehead.

        The neural hardware that lets humans go, “Except for me, of course” interests me. Someday, we’ll be able to analyze it, and I am absolutely reading those papers.

      @cowvin I think real conservatives disappeared. Now self called conservatives in America are mostly neofascists and alt-rightists with the behavior of football holligans.

    Why can’t Kellogg’s go back to their wholesome familly values of being far too concerned about preventing young boys from masturbating? /s
