Man, I don't know what's up lately, but I keep running across transphobic bullshit, both in multifandom and nonfandom spaces. Bloody hell. Get outta' here with that!

(Not my DW flist, to be clear - you're all lovely. Of course, if someone I was subscribed to did post that, then said person wouldn't still be on my flist...)

Anyway, it really pisses me off, getting that shit in front of my eyeballs during what's supposed to be my leisure time. It makes me want to, you know, clip back my engagement with literally everything even more. But that also pisses me off, because like, I shouldn't have to do that.

Honestly, I don't know if it's actually a higher volume than the usual, or if I'm just seeing more of it because I've been reading more things that relate to LGBT stuff in this month than I typically would. Either way, it sucks, this sucks, everything sucks.

I wish people would just... not be Like That. Argh. orz

Sorry you've been running into it; I've been feeling like there's more of it everywhere recently, too. I think part of it might be that trans visibility is higher than ever, which is nice on its own, and shitty people are ticked off about that, but it still sucks either way :\

You might be on to something there. That could very well be a part of it.

(Still! Sigh. :( )

Oof, that's rough and I'm so sorry. D: *hugs* I feel like I've been seeing more of it off and on, too, and I hate it.

On the one hand, kind of glad it's not just me noticing this, but on the other, I don't want anyone else seeing that either.

Ugh. I'm sorry you've been running into that.

Have you read Care Of by Ivan yet? It's something of an antidote.

I haven't read it yet! Going on the to-read list, though. :D

Ughhh I'm sorry you're running into that! So frustrating, people just need to...not. *offers hugs*

[yuuago]

"People just need to... not" is a good way to put it, ahaha. orz
