my most recent tweet^^^

Seeing as in a lot of those impoverished countries they'll kill you for being lgbt, something tells me that isn't just a first world problem

2018-07-06 18:22:06 UTC  

In other words, they still have it good here

2018-07-06 18:23:51 UTC  

Just because something is worse in other countries doesn't mean it's not a problem

2018-07-06 18:24:13 UTC  

I got the shit kicked out of me for being trans when I was in high school

2018-07-06 18:24:32 UTC  

There's still violence people face just for being who they are

2018-07-06 18:25:26 UTC  

how old are you?

2018-07-06 18:27:31 UTC  

20

2018-07-06 18:27:52 UTC  

seemms like you grew up in a shitty place if that happened.

2018-07-06 18:27:59 UTC  

but if you grew up here, that wouldn't have happened.

2018-07-06 18:28:04 UTC  

What if you needed that bullying for being trans

2018-07-06 18:28:19 UTC  

in fact, if you grew up in many many places here in the U.S. it woulda never happened.

2018-07-06 18:28:31 UTC  

Except it does

2018-07-06 18:28:50 UTC  

And when we talk about it we get called whiny libtards

2018-07-06 18:29:08 UTC  

Rightfully so tbh

2018-07-06 18:29:24 UTC  

I have a question

2018-07-06 18:29:44 UTC  

Why do you people seemingly despise the lgbt community

2018-07-06 18:29:53 UTC  

There's no seemingly about it

2018-07-06 18:30:00 UTC  

But why

2018-07-06 18:30:24 UTC  

I mean,

2018-07-06 18:30:38 UTC  

You are a degenerative influence on society and parade around your mental illnesses and hedonistic lifestyles with pride. It's nothing short of disgusting

2018-07-06 18:30:39 UTC  

When you're acting as if a problem in select communities is the same throughout the entire country,

2018-07-06 18:30:48 UTC  

It becomes a nuisance

2018-07-06 18:31:05 UTC  

When in fact, harassment and singling people out because of their sexual orientation is already illegal

2018-07-06 18:31:31 UTC  

Rape is also illegal

2018-07-06 18:31:39 UTC  

Yes and sadly it still happens.

2018-07-06 18:31:42 UTC  

Laws don't mean much

2018-07-06 18:31:44 UTC  

And people are stupid.

2018-07-06 18:31:55 UTC  

Do you think they don't realize rape is illegal?

2018-07-06 18:32:15 UTC  

Or do you think if they're reminded of it they'll be like "ohh, it's bad? Well dammn. I'm so sorry I brutally raped someone"

2018-07-06 18:33:22 UTC  

No, but we can stop acting like it's a small isolated thing

2018-07-06 18:33:29 UTC  

Nobody should be attacked for being who they are. But when it's already against the law and everyone knows harassment and violence is wrong, all we can do is be aware and be ready to go after them legally and speak out

2018-07-06 18:33:55 UTC  

?

2018-07-06 18:33:56 UTC  

But to act like it's some crisis everywhere, when in many places it just doesn't happen,

2018-07-06 18:33:59 UTC  

That's the part that annoys me

2018-07-06 18:34:08 UTC  

"Nobody should be attacked for being who they are" lol

2018-07-06 18:34:18 UTC  

It does in most parts of the US

2018-07-06 18:34:25 UTC  

I live in Ohio

2018-07-06 18:34:33 UTC  

ayyyyyyye Ohio

2018-07-06 18:35:33 UTC  

And overall atleast in the US, this discussion isn't hurting anyone

2018-07-06 18:36:09 UTC  

Yeah but too many of these "discussions" act like these issues are all horrible and the same everywhere you go, and it becomes fear mongering
