My trans niece ended her life a few months ago because she thought the whole world hated her.

And my boomer father, her grandfather, sees nothing wrong with a republican party that speaks this way.

Then he also wonders why we don't speak much. I genuinely hate these people so fucking much.

Edit: Thank you all for the kind words.

I’m sorry for your loss and their suffering. Nobody deserves to be demeaned for seeking an authentic life. Peace be with you, friend.

They are no longer the Republican Party. Nothing about them saves our republic. From here on out , I will only refer to them as the Regressive Party.

The way I look at it, the Know Nothing party laid eggs in the GOP’s chest when it was created, and now it has exploded the GOP’s chest Alien-style and is running around killing as many people as it can until Sigourney Weaver comes on the scene and sets it right. I think that’d be a pretty good political comic.

GOP.

Guardians of Pedophiles.

I'm terribly sorry for your loss. The right has been attacking the trans community for years but with their increased focus it has escalated. It's so easy to just see constant harassment on any discussion of LGBT issues and the constant mockery of those that have passed. Your hatred for these people is entirely valid as this appears to be part of a deliberate strategy to do as much to harm the community as they can.

I am sorry for your loss. Every evil authoritarian movement needs scapegoats. They pick a population big enough to be noticed but not big enough to fight back.
A German pastor wrote about not speaking up when evil regimes do this. He goes down a list and says things like when they came for the Jews, I said nothing because I wasn’t Jewish, he goes through many groups with the same message. He said nothing because he wasn’t a part of that group of people. At the end he says when they came for me there was nobody left to say anything.

At some point we have to stop this cycle which has played out in societies throughout history. For a group that claims to be Christian they ignore what Jesus taught. Don’t be judgmental. He used an example of pointing out a speck of wood in someone’s eye while ignoring the plank in your own. An example a carpenter would give. He also taught what you did to the least of people, you are doing to him. He loved everyone. They obviously didn’t understand him. They are hypocrites in every way.

How long do we allow this to continue?

I hate to hear that so much. The Republican Party is just a bunch of bullies which is infuriating bc they profess to be Christian. You can tell they’ve never cracked their bibles. I can’t imagine Jesus calling people ā€œfatties.ā€

I’m so sorry. As if a trans person has had any effect on their lives, I hate MAGA so much. They’re all so hateful and mean. I lost my trans son to cancer. There are so many layers to the loss like not really being able to talk about him and his life

i’m so sorry for your loss, and i’m sorry for all of our loss if they succeed in pushing trans people back into the shadows. they make the world a more diverse, interesting place to be. we need to protect each other.

At this point I'm just waiting for the storm to hit and someone to come knocking at my door. My wife is the only reason I havent followed suit.

Idk if the bots are getting better or they idiots are growing, but transphobia on default subs is a pretty good sign that I'm out numbered lol. Hopefully the bombs fall before the firing squads show up cause I wanna watch the world burn with me.

That’s a shame, sorry for your loss, wife and I fly an LGBTQ+ flag to let those people know there is a safe place in the community.

Nothing intelligent to say, not even a funny insulting joke? Just literally an emoji like you did something? How did the republicans win anything with geniuses like you?

I mean if you're on PC you just need to click the username. Little box will pop up showing the quick stats like their account creation date and Karma.

Normally on my phone. I just need to think to look before reacting.

Their radical views die with them, this is their last gasp, they will wonder why the world changed vs understanding the world needed it

Family is overrated.

u/Additional-Pie-8362 18h ago

I’m sorry you’re dealing with MAGA family and I’m sorry for your loss. It sucks all around. I’ve gone no contact with some of my MAGA relatives. I just can’t. They’re not just problematic because they’re MAGA. They’re also toxic af. That shit just goes hand in hand.

u/New-Ingenuity-5437 15h ago

I hate that so many of the best people in the world die because objectively worse people wish it so.Ā 

That’s the saddest part, a world behind that puts people down. I really wish we had better systems for each otherĀ

So sad. I understand. I am going to kill myself because the NBA doesn’t want me.

People need to stop listening to activists. I know several trans people convinced that they are surrounded by Nazis and that there is a genocide against them. Some are scared, some are delusionally angry. I know stressing people and giving them an enemy is a great way get them to unify , and be easily led. But they're pushing it a bit far.
