…I could have told you that 🤷

Not my usual kind of source (Xitter), but I want any centrists out there who ask trans people to “just get along” / compromise with actual hate groups that want them eradicated to know that it doesn’t work.
There is no such thing as a reasonable bigot, by definition.
Absolutely agree that Brianna needs to log the fuck off, de-center herself as any sort of repetitive of the community and sort out her own internalized transphobia. She isn’t even close off the hook.
100%. I agree completely. She ignored the broader trans community and perpetuated harm, all for selfish self-congratulatory reasons. But what I’m saying is that she recognized the futility and is starting to listen. This no “forgive and forget”, but we can’t condemn her for admitting she was wrong.
I just don’t want others with misguided bigoted talking points thinking that they are trapped in that echo chamber.
She isn’t starting to listen, though.
She just decided that because she half admitted a mistake that lots of people loudly told her she was making, she can just act like none of the nastiness she perpetuated on people who carefully explained why this was going to blow up in her face. She just declared that she was reaccepted, trying to wishcast instead of engaging in personal growth.
