Touche, Kestrel! Just had to share:

Question posted by bigoted asshole:
Why is everyone expected to bend the knee to the transgender movement

And a transgender persons response:

I think I’d like to live in your world.

I mean, in your world trans people are a feared and respected ruling class, rather than a frequently (physically and politically) attacked minority.

In your world, trans people are calling the shots. Here in reality, we’re forced to constantly beg our governments not to pass laws that are going to result in our widespread suffering.

In your world, everyone must bend the knee. Here in the world the rest of us live in, it’s a daily struggle for most trans people to just not get stepped on, or kicked while they’re down.

Just a few questions before I move in, though. What color is the sky there, and do y’all have hot tubs?

[EDIT] Please keep posting your hate in the comments. It makes you ever so easy to report, block, and mute.

However I just want to point out that your post ended with "Please keep posting your hate in the comments." Do you assume that people here are haters? If so, you are very much mistaken.

I think the OP must be a verbatim transcript of a post from some social media site other than DU. Hopefully that will be clarified.

Last few months I've seen an uptick of anti trans rhetoric here on DU. Thankfully those members have been since had their privileges revoked. But still

and I'm here every day. Maybe the poster is just confused and thought he was posting on a different site.

Most by that point or removed. Its here disguised very well as "science" or "biology" But it still is transphobic nonetheless
