      Pronouns, what?

      My homie in Cthulhu, I guarantee you that trans folks are among the most ready to stand up for a group of people who’ve had their basic humanity denied by a vicious regime eager for a scapegoat.

      What the hell is this steaming pile of whataboutism and why is it getting upvoted? Why are you bringing up pronouns?

      Which of problem do you think the average person has a better chance of fixing from behind a keyboard, anyway? There is no fuckin hypocrisy in calling out someone for being a jerk on social media but not stopping a literal genocide in another country.

      Why are you leaving a comment on lemmy instead of negotiating a peace deal yourself?

      This your first time?

      The US has their own equivalent camps on their southern border…

      In this case, you can’t blame the leadership, the people who elect them don’t care either.

      You’re complaining in the internet about people complaining on the internet. What are YOU doing to correct the Palestine situation? What "minor"issues are YOU completely ignoring because someone else has it worse? Did you stop arguing with people at work? Did you stop getting mad at people while driving/commuting? Have you stopped voting for better local ordinances because there’s a genocide half a world away? Have you stopped enjoying your daily life and dedicated it to getting new world leaders?

        Well, I guess, then, You are complaining in the internet about people complaining in the internet about people complaining in the internet… You are the same thing you point out, and the cycle keeps going…

          I’m not the one that complained that people were complaining on the internet instead of fixing the world.

      Is letting people misgender me going to do anything other than normalize transphobia? What do you want me to do, respond to misgendering with a spiel about Palestine? This isn’t a hypothetical, I’m trans. Tell me how you think is the correct way for me to respond to someone misgendering me and how it affects Palestine.

      Did you even know that a record breaking amount of anti-LGBT legislation was proposed in the US in 2023?
