I had a friend once who said fascists just needed to "get it out of their system" when we were talking about the Boogaloo Boys a few days before the Jan6 insurrection. We're both queer - a week or so before we were talking about how mutual trans friends of ours were being bashed in our city and that was an explicitly bad thing - I had to realize they might have only cared because they knew them personally.

I was honestly stun-locked by the whole conversation and all the little implications it made.

Never felt safe around them after that.

When former partners came out saying they were an abuser, I knew they were right.

No tolerance for intolerance.
