Me, still referring to X as twitter: Am I transphobic?
nope. just x-phobic.
Isn’t a phobia explicitly an IRrational fear/hate? I feel like being afraid of the harmful influence and thus hating Xitter is completely rational.
The medical definition of a phobia, yes.
But transphobes aren’t generally medically phobic of trans people. They’re just assholes.
I’d say they have an irrational hate towards trans people
That’s true.
You should refer to it as Shitter. Same thing, different pronunciation.
I’ll just tell conservatives that I don’t believe that a Gulf can just go from Mexican to American, I’m sorry. If it wants to use the American restrooms, I’m going to have to check its territorial waters.
… even as a sarcastic metaphor, I feel a little dirty saying that
Considering that their chromosomes contain more triplets than orchestral sheet music, I think you’d probably lose them after the first sentence.
Pfft, I don’t remember anyone’s name anyway. Everyone is equally unimportant to my pudding brain.
Pro tip: It’s ok to forget trans folks’ names as long as you don’t deadname then \o
Oh no someone forgot my name, asked me what it was and then used it.
- no trans person ever
Edit: I tend to use the same name for everybody: you.
See that’s the best people when you’re early in transition. No [deadname] wait sorry [name], just a good sincere “who are you people and why do i feel like i recognize you”
We should totally start calling it the trans-gulf.
I do like that “Mexico” and “America” follow the Latin convention for gendered nouns and that the name changed genders in the switch. We should thank them for not deadnaming her (the gulf). Watch their expressions as the rationalization strains to address the cognitive dissonance.
Before anyone points out that “Mexico” comes from Nahuatl roots, you can miss me with that. It’s clearly a latinized word via Spanish.
No one is going to call it that except in the same way “freedom fries” was used. People unfamiliar with the actual name might eventually use “gulf of America” if the maps continue to show it, but right now most of us know the original name and will use it out of habit, if nothing else
Yeah but calling trans people by their proper names doesn’t scream “FUCK MEXICANS” in quite the same way.
I still think he should have gone all the way and just called it Trump Gulf.
Hey, yeah, in fact, I identify as The Gulf of America and I’ve trademarked it. I’m going to sue your entire country in the ground, mister.
Quite the opposite, they want to call it the gulf of America because they want to glorify their own viewpoints and debase others
