  • CarniMoss@lemmings.worldtoLGBTQ+@beehaw.org•Really beginner question: How is the trans community a threat to anyone?

    I’m sorry you went through that and I think it’s interesting that you talked about a girl with a fluid sexuality. I think people get scared that it’s like conversion therapy or just predatory behavior but since you went through those harmful experiences, you know what it looks like. So when someone says hey this trans person is a threat despite them having done nothing, you understand that isn’t true.

    I hope you’re doing better now and taking care of yourself. It’s always sad to hear as someone who used to babysit. The kids I watched could barely beat Mario on the Wii so I had to carry them through the whole stage.

    Actually now that I think about it, I think the kids knew before me because they’d ask me if I was a boy and all I could say at the time was I didn’t care what they called me. So transphobia is probably a learned thing where people project their fears onto us.

    I worked at a pizza chain and there was a hurricane. Thankfully we only got heavy rain but I was a delivery driver and almost every other place was closed. I opened with someone and we stayed for like 10 hours straight. By the time we had to leave, we were dead tired and there would be only 2 people left working and they had dozens of orders left and they had to do delivery, cook, AND ANSWER CUSTOMERS. No, the job didn’t pay enough.
