LRT: Why do people choose the harder route of being a bigoted piece of shit?

Respecting someone’s name/identity/pronouns/life should not be THIS fucking hard
“B-But it’s within my rights to criticise the lives of others that don’t effect me personally!! :(“

Yeah it’s also your right to shut the fuck up
The proposed revisions are actually worse than that - they would PROTECT the right for people to say bigoted shit

Someone could refuse to use my pronouns and name and it would be *legally protected* and not considered discrimination
SOMEONE COULD PRESSURE A TRANS PERSON TO DETRANSITION AND IT WOULD NOT BE CONSIDERED HATEFUL CONDUCT - what the actual FUCK is this shit
If your initial thought is ‘this doesn’t effect me’, it will. Eroding the rights and protections of marginalised groups tightens the noose around conformity.
Seriously cannot fucking believe we are still talking about basic human rights in this goddamn century
All of this shit terrifies me, but most of all I’m just tired

Sisyphus got it easy with that boulder
