  • You got a problem with trans people? No? Then it wasn’t talking about you. Christ, is that hard to understand?

    When a group of people makes an “us vs them” against a minority, it forces the minority to use that language back. As a cishet person, your identity is being used as a weapon to harm trans people regardless if you’re doing anything. Ignorance of the minorities plight can be weaponized to do more harm and that ignorance can be shielded through appeals to normalcy and tradition.

    When you respond to that language with “not all cishet people” you signal that your support is contingent on you not losing anything (your ignorance is one of the things you can lose). Which can and will be used to weaponize more harm against the minority group.

    Those math questions that rely on purposeful ambiguity in order to drive engagement are annoying as fuck. It’s like “congratulations, you just proved that in math (and questions in general) if you’re not clear with what you’re asking, people will get different answers”. What fantastic value! What a novel hypothesis! Now fucking knock it off. I’m tired of literally everyone screaming about how their way is right when it doesn’t fucking matter, the question was asked in a bullshit way in order to piss everyone off.

    Bonus, PEMDAS, BEMDAS, PE-MD-AS. It’s a goddamn terrible mnemonic that twists itself in knots to make the acronym work, rather than to make the order of operations clear. Screaming it doesn’t make your shit any clearer anyways.
