    I support trans people, but if one of them cut my legs off with an axe, I’d probably be a little bit upset.

    I get it but you’re gonna turn people away because it isn’t literally true.

    For example: I support trans people, but would oppose them forming an army and going on a murder spree.

    I support trans people, but I still feel a little bit uncomfortable around them because of my conservative upbringing and how hard “trans = bad” was driven into my head. I’m working on improving that and every time I interact with someone who is trans I become a little bit more comfortable with it.

    If I ever felt the need to tell someone this feeling, I think I would completely rephrase it to avoid this situation anyway.

      That’s fair, I had sorts of folks I had to spend time around to get comfortable with too. I think a lot of people think that it’s necessary or easy to suddenly become comfortable with sorts of people who are marginalized. But what we should be doing is demanding people be moving towards a more equal and free society and not making their discomfort those people’s problem.

      ETA: building comfort with those groups is also important, but it’s slow and it’s something we shouldn’t beat people up for not being quite at yet.

    Ooo I wanna try

    I support Trans people but this coffee shop this Trans lady in town opened, her coffee is sour. Will someone please teach her to make coffee so supporting her doesn’t taste bad?

    How was that? Also why does my autocarrot capitalize Trans? Is it like Black when referring to identifiers? The Chicago manual of style didn’t prepare me for this

      Fresh light roast coffee is sour and it’s supposed to be and I love it. If you don’t like sour coffee get darker roasts or shittier coffee. Just saying. Get a great blonde roast shot of espresso pulled for yourself sometime, life changing.

    I support trans people, but I’m also ok with non-trans people and anyone between and otherwise!
