There was a great clip of some chud who argued himself into accepting trans people with that exact kind of reasoning.
It’s a mental illness, you can even see brain chemistry differences -> They deserve therapy -> failing that, corrective surgery or hormones-> oh
I don’t know if it stuck, but it was still hilarious. And it demonstrated the point rather handily that the rational folks are all already on team Woke.
It’s taken a while to figure out the meaning, but the reading I did basically defines “Woke” as generally being aware of the world and its problems, (Or in other words, not having your head in the sand). It’s baffling that the term has been used as an insult by anti-intellectuals.
I didn’t wake the fuck up until I was about 27, and every day of my life since I’ve focused on practicing empathy and mindfulness - the little fantasy world they live in was comforting and it was difficult to break some habits.
Anyone, even an octogenarian who is trying to grow and acknowledge their own faults of the past should deserve to be met with understanding, not malice.
It’s always a choice eventually, indoctrination from a young age is difficult to shake but I stop that lenience around age 23-25
I stop that lenience when they casually slip into conversation that trans people should be murdered on sight.
In what world bob? Even in your fantasy world where they are mentally ill, they should still be murdered on sight?

The end of your sentence is the unbaffler you need.

Thank you very much! I loved your words. To hear that there are people out there like you gives me hope.
