    Why can’t I just be a bigot in the workplace without being oppressed for it?

    If they aren’t like me, they shouldn’t be allowed to find their peace, love or happiness, because I don’t understand it.

    Ah yes, just point at the furries. A crowd full of often neurodivergent individuals finding solace in a more accepting and friendly community.

    They should die sad, alone, and ostracized like God intended.

    As someone who isn’t a fan of sexual social environments, I’m capable of letting others live as they want to, and still enjoying my life otherwise. And weirdly, minus inevitable bad actors in any group, they respect my boundaries and comfort as well.

    When people don’t understand gender dysphoria, do they think it’s just for attention? Purely for the sake of sexual deviancy? Do they think the trans boogeyman will be hiding under their bed?

    I feel like people are just really bad with confusion. If they don’t understand it, they find it repelling and upsetting. Generally the same with all bigotry.

    I think adults need to learn where their feelings end and the feelings of others begin. Maybe even learn to recognize when their feelings are unreasonable, or inspired by their own failures to understand the perspectives of others.
