Ok so obviously my class is filled to the brim with homophobes but never anything too severe, mostly just using gay as a mild insult and calling random ppl gay insensitively. Still awful but not too bad compared to other schools. Same with transphobes in my school except the difference is these lil rats talk trash about trans ppl during lunch- Now I personally am not trans so I apologize sincerely if I get anything wrong, but I just wanted to defend them bc it makes me very triggered to hear my classmates allowed to say transphobic stuff- So what they were saying is stuff along the lines of (for context they were harassing this kid about whether or not they supported trans) “oh do you support them? So you’re saying if a guy walked into the girls locker room to spy on them you’d support it just bc they said they’re trans?” Like kid. No. Educate yourself. Trans isn’t the act of “ya know what imma use the other gender’s bathroom to be sus lol” It’s when you ACTUALLY identify as a different gender than you were assigned to at birth. Not just claiming to be the other gender, but honestly associating with it. But the worst part is this kid was only half wrong. While trans people aren’t gross enough to do that, non trans people have used/lied about being trans as an excuse to do gross things even though they aren’t trans. It sickens me to see people abusing and manipulating the term trans to do gross things. Example, some creep who isn’t trans might say “ya know what imma peep on the other gender’s bathroom like a sicko” so they can easily lie “oh I am trans I associate as this gender” and bam. Easy pass into the opposite room. Which is disgusting because now tans people get reprimanded for that even though they did nothing. People need to stop abusing trans rights to do bad things. It’s disgusting. I support actual trans people but not the people who don’t actually identify as the other gender and just manipulate it. Sorry if my phrasing and grammar sucks, I’m speed running this rant/vent/ted talk before school lol
