For me, it's like when straight people who want me to know that they're cool with the gays go on to do a TMI recitation of the time they "almost tried it." Just kinda makes you wonder what the agenda is.

I started at ambivalence and moved to acceptance (not tolerance. Tolerance is wh as t you have for ants at your picnic, not human beings). I accept Caitlyn as Caitlyn. But Cait's predecessor socialized her in a particular way and yhat early socialization is injurious to her trans sisters and brothers. And to the rest of us as well.

It surprised me that you seemed to need to explain how it remains difficult for you to wrap your head around trans identity; strikes me as a little bit of apologetic albeit well meaning permission for others to validate their own ambivalence or worse. Our mutual lack of surprise at her blind entitlement though, is beautifully described. Thank you for your continued writing, it educates me.

And judging from what has transpired from your writing of this then to now, painfully, painfully accurate. <br /><br />Typical of the hypocrites, we're now hearing them cry for civility(though not meaning it, of course, also typical of them).<br /><br />About the white friend who reports white fear of retaliation, interesting that although they are afraid of reprisal, they don't consider not offending...no...they continue the abuse as if it's by rote, or ordained or something. <br /><br />Which of course explains why they are so pro police, so unmoved by all the cop killings of black people. They see the police as the blue line of kkk protection against us, keeping us cowed until they do us all in, or ship us off somewhere, or whatever.<br /><br />Despite all of their self serving piety, they refuse to repent. It's a gawdamn shame.dennisdreadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05810733826069984700noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7504936277672588307.post-65344288159452565092018-06-30T21:38:19.860-07:002018-06-30T21:38:19.860-07:00Annnnd.. the one white commenter literally felt o...Annnnd.. the one white commenter literally felt obliged to stand up and instruct the author.
