Conservatives would ban the sun because even their own shadows terrify them.

You’re right, in the literal and jungian sense.
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".
I wonder if she can use that against them.
Water is trans now conservatives, better stop drinking any!
I kinda miss the days when Tony the Tiger made headlines for being grossed out of Twitter by horny furries.
Somehow Mannarino wasn't marked on Shinigami eyes so I went ahead and reported him as anti trans
Thank you for your service.
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.
This is hilarious, considering Kellogg's origins.
I can't remember, are conservatives for or against "cancel culture?"
Why can't Kellogg's go back to their wholesome familly values of being far too concerned about preventing young boys from masturbating? /s
This is just ridiculous, and really sad. She’s not hurting anyone by posing with a mascot or holding a beer, ffs. I just don’t understand why people can’t stand trans people in particular for simply existing.
Well, it's like this: When your view of the world is based on things being black or white, hierarchies being real, natural, and desirable, and you encounter someone whose very existence threatens to tear out those foundations, you can either examine your axioms and build a new foundation, or attempt to destroy that person's existence. Generally, people who have done the former don't have the anti-trans rabies.
Holy crap! Even posing with a photo is bad? So treating us as humans is now considered a bad thing?
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
This is actually quite comforting, thank you.
