[CW: bigotry] Had an encounter with overt transphobia today... Edit: or, how some teens wrecked my shit.
[CW: bigotry] Had an encounter with overt transphobia today... Edit: or, how some teens wrecked my shit.
Went to get some last minute groceries, wasn't particularly concerned about passing, but wore a mask because I wanted to give my face a break for the weekend. I get out of my car and some corn fed yokel 14 year olds run past me while loudly have a conversation about 'what is it?!'. They go back and forth on if I'm a girl or boy, I can't remember the exact details of the conversation because the girl in the group answered the two boys with something that shut my brain down. She said "that's a Democrat"...
I'm still having trouble processing the whole thing.
She said "that's a Democrat"...
thems fightin wordsyeah going to start referring to that as the d slur
Kamala Harris, of the [removed] party...
I know right? You can call me anything but for some reason being called a liberal or a democrat is the worst.
Like don't associate me with those Hamilton loving freaks!
I do not tempt such fates.
i think id prefer being called slurs over being called a democrat tbh
being called slurs
being called a democrat
teenagers being overtly transphobic
being called a democrat
You can tell they're just parroting things their shitty parents/shitty Youtubers the algorithm pushes have said.
It's a sad state of affairs the way our children are brainwashed.
I'm sorry you got called a Democrat OP
I was waiting in line at the grocery store today, this dude in front while trying to be polite was like "oh you can help them first". Then like seconds later switches to using him for good measure.
I was just sort of bemused because I could see the guys thought process being like "oh no I used neutral pronouns they're going to think I'm gay", quick start misgendering!

Definitely something I've noticed. A lot of homophobia being used by highschoolers, followed by "just messing around, I don't really have a problem with people being gay", followed by either insisting they aren't gay or jokes by others about them being gay. Was a bit surprised transphobia seemed less common than homophobia in those groups. Like, I don't remember hearing any overt homophobia when I was in grade-school (just "no homo" type comments). But maybe people just kept quiet with those jokes around me?
I don’t know when you went to grade school, but trans (and hence transphobia) wasn’t invented until 2022 by Kamal sHarrias (PBUH)
Comrade grocery store line guy, welcome to the Home of Sexuals. We have blanket forts and (optional, consentual) snuggles. It fuckin rules.
I would take "Democrat" to be more offensive than some of the worst spiels that the most heated gamer can deliver to me.
"that's a D#mocrat"...
That's fucked up. I'm sorry it happened to you.
Just remember that in their minds democrats are cool baby-eating communists that run the world and have crazy sex parties with lots of drugs you haven't even heard of
This is why we need slurs for cis people that hit like the slurs they cook up
How about chicken fucker?
Doesn't calling them cis usually work? The less clever the better imo
"Patriarchy drone"?
In authoritarian communist china and ussr, the youth were brainwashed with hateful stereotypes
misgendered AND called a lib. I'd be devastated
I am.
