They are so fucking weird
Seriously. Like imagine if a trans person used their preferred bathroom. I mean I don't, cause I don't care. But for people the right claims to hate, they have an odd fascination with them. Like how hard is it to just not give a fuck?
My energy is more valuable to me than being mad at a group of people who I have minimal interactions with. Wouldn't these pricks be happier just ODing on meth?
I'll give you this as an example, I drive Uber and have a mas presenting trans person. I call them by their preferred name and drive them where they wanna go. That's it, and it's never a problem. They told me about another driver that keeps making up mas names to call them in an attempt to antagonize them(?) I guess. I seriously can't imagine giving that much of a fuck about someone I don't even know.
But here I am giving that same energy to dipshit "conservatives". I guess we're all hypocrites.
Ehh being annoyed at someone else for being an asshole isn't equivalent to being annoyed that someone else exists. You don't seem hypocritical to me
Thanks homie, that actually means a lot to me.
I can't imagine antagonizing someone who you rely on for a tip and a rating.
Really hope they dinged them with a one star.
I haven't really checked since I've never needed to, but I imagine there's a way to report that they've harassed you, which presumably would be worse for them.
I haven't really ever had any problems cause I'm a normal human who doesn't instantly hate things I don't understand/identify with. But I know when ranking riders you do have options such as ; no seatbelt, disrespectful, inappropriate conversation, and maybe smoking/vaping (?). I hope there is a harassment option, cause honestly, how hard is it to just call someone what they wanna be called‽ It literally takes less energy and causes less drama in your life. The worst part is I look like the homo erotic image they have about what masculinity is. I'm town standard deviations to the right of the bell curve in terms of largeness and I'm in fairly good shape. So they talk to me like I'm one of them regardless of I got super ally rainbow shoelaces on. Like are you that unobservant‽
Sorry I'm rambling. I just really don't like it when they confuse me for one of their rank and file, and since I moved to the corner of bum fucked and nowhere, it's been happening a lot lately.
What does "mas" mean? I thought it was a typo for male, but you said it twice, so I'm not sure it's a typo anymore, lol
Masculine
The persecution of people is the point, not a means to an end. They just want to hurt people, it' their kink. They are fucked in the head. Like psychopathic, sociopathic, sadists etc...
They make up whatever arguments that justify them hurting people.
When you're not very intelligent and you don't have a lot going on in your life, it's actually really hard to not give a fuck about stupid shit. What else are conservatives going to do? Further their education?
Well, they're the party currently going to the ends of the Earth to protect pedophiles, so.....pretty on brand.
With all th the shit, no pun intended, going on in the world, you would think they would have bigger fish to fry than who pisses where.
