so I had a conversation with my grandmother a few days ago and she kept repetedly using the wrong pronouns no matter how many times I corrected her and maybe I overreacted a bit but I lost my shit and just went OFF
I said something along the lines of "Oh my god, you're always talking about how I'm being "Disrespectful" when you don't even have the basic decency -no, it's not even that much trouble- to use my correct pronouns. Stop talking about respect like you've ever felt a thing in your life. I get forgetting every once in a while, but I've reminded you at least ten times in this one conversation!"
It was definitely an overreaction but I mean, was I wrong? What is so wrong with people that they can't even except that people are who they are. It's the same thing with homophobia! It doesn't affect you at all! Why bitch about it???
Seriously, why is it so difficult to grasp that:
NO ONE ASKED FOR YOUR OPINION
PEOPLE ARE FUCKING PEOPLE AND SHOULD BE TREATED AS SUCH
IT TAKES LESS EFFORT TO GO ON ABOUT YOUR DAY THAN TO TARGET SOMEONE FOR WANTING TO BE THEMSELVES
Honestly, it takes nothing of you to just leave people the fuck alone and let them go about their business. You don't have to interact with anyone you don't want to and all of that hate takes more of a toll on the person doing it than the person recieving it.
And I've seen all kinds of gender critical & homophobic people promoting and praising killing people and hurting them for things they can't control like gender and sexuality. Who the fuck hurt you? Why do you exude so much hate? Heal yourself and reflect because this isn't healthy and only you can redeem yourself. End the cycle.
