Jokes are one thing, but a lot of people fail to realize how easy it is to perpetuate the ostracization of people who are disproportionately the recipients of physical violence and discrimination.
Personal responsibility doesn’t just mean “not being violent”.
It means not being part of the problem. nostr:note1wq2e8cac9jv9t2e6prrj07n68gs7064gq970zcn0qngj9ss9jyjq55pvd6
Trans is a not a new phenomenon. Been with humanity far before it became en vogue. Risk of suicide is roughly 40% — which is why this has historically been considered a mental disorder.
Regardless of how medicine or popular culture categorizes trans people, it is only natural to be careful with with such souls, knowing they will self terminate with an astoundingly high probability
Don’t be a dick. Be nice. Be an educated human.

It’s so much easier to treat each other with kindness. I can’t imagine the histories and burdens that some people carry; the last thing I’d want to do is add to someone’s suffering.
And on the other side of the same coin, when we ostracize or abuse someone for being different, it’s not only cruel; it also does all of humanity a disservice, by limiting that individual’s freedom to contribute and be their truest expression of self.
Its funny till someone you care about hurts.
We can make jokes all day but at what cost at times?
I used to f slur and be pretty rude till a friend came out to me. Now I make other, better jokes about it. I care more about his feeling welcome then anything
