A Staten Island woman buying pot from a local deli got into a misunderstanding with the cashier — who ended up macing her, dragging​ her outside by her hair, kicking her in the head and mistakenly calling her trans.

This is what transphobia has to offer. Transphobia and TERFS are inherently misogynistic because they start to attack every single woman that doesn't fit into the worldview of a few people.

Yeah, transohibia, anti gay, racism, anti immigrant, anti religion - intolerance is ugly, evil and the worst of humanity

Agree, agree, agree, agree, WHAT? Bro religion is the support beam holding up most of these bigotries in a big way.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Hmm Yeah ok I probably should have used more words there :o) I'm an atheist. I don't like what religion does to people, in general. What I meant to say - but clearly didn't express well - is that hating people for their religion is bullshit (also, their lack of religion). The general point was that hating people for their group membership is just evil.

Yeah, there are reasons to be anti-religion and even potentially anti-immigrant, those issues have actual logically and morally consistent reasons. Whereas racism and the others are entirely emotional and based on nothing. Religion is belief literally founded on nothing.

What do you mean to say? People should be allowed to escape from war always. But there are reasons you can just go live or stay anywhere.

It's a human right to go wherever we want, isn't it? Lol

There are no good reasons to be anti-immigrant.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 1 year ago

This one comment is fire, not every single religion and religious person (like me) are intolerant, thank you, dude (or gurl, or whatever)! :D

All forms of prejudicial arguments are wrong. Just don't talk about speciesism though, because most people will lose their shit 10x harder.

So we're segmenting the trans community by binary gender now? What the hell

I'm pretty sure you understood my message. I won't take your cheap bait here.
