Look, I’m not a fucking broker or a hustler, okay? I don’t care that you keep running around telling me or others to go waste our time and money to put into markets that can be incredibly unpredictable. It is all about luck, chance and risk. Things most wouldn’t want to put themselves on the line over even if they were down next to nothing. They’d rather buy lottery tickets.

    It’s the next step of the civil rights movements, which certain demographics of people are fighting tooth and nail to prevent (and undo past progress). If it were possible to simply say “All people get equal rights”, and leave it at that, we’d all be better off. We’ve had some big hullabaloos in the past about “do the blacks count as people?” and “do women count as people?” then “do the gays count as people?” and now “do the trans count as people?”. Once everyone gets over hating trans people, the haters will move on to another minority to persecute and we’ll have posts online about “Why do I have to hear about (label) all the time? Can’t we just leave them be?”

        Are you missing the part about trans people fighting for equal rights? It’s not about being liked it’s about being allowed to exist.

          I’m not disallowing them. I’m just not interested in hearing about it so much. Why does it gotta come up when I’m gaming or doing my flow arts? Why do I hear about it dramatically more than worse problems affecting way more people? I’m not trying to invalidate their problems. I just think that their collective voice(which includes non trans people) is really loud and I’m not bothered about it.
