Dear Parker Molloy: will you please apologize for being the kind of asshole guy who used to threaten me and beat me up in high school?
It's obvious from Parker's homophobic, woman-hating writing that she's maintained the same heterosexual male entitlement that she had before transition, when she was living as a -- wait for it! -- gender-conforming heterosexual man. In fact, she's even admitted it herself!
Parker saw so much of herself in Against Me!'s misogynisitic, homophobic song Drinking with the Jocks that she went on rapgenious and provided the following annotation:
In high school, I remember trying to blend in. After some intense bullying throughout my first few years of school, I decided to create a persona I could hide behind. Laugh at the jokes the football players made at he expense of other students, do whatever I needed to do in order to fit in.
My life became so, so fake. The worst thing that could have happened to me at that point in my life would have been for someone to see me for who I really was.
Hmm, sucks to be me I guess, because I didn't have that option. So I just got harassed, threatened, mocked, and beaten up by other students. My teachers and school adminstrators usually defended the bullies, except in some cases where they joined in!
It's cool, Parker, you don't need to apologize to the me's of your high school who you bullied in a cowardly attempt to hide your "true self". I mean, that was a long time ago. Though, I have to wonder how "true" this self was, if it was so easy to hide?
But, could you at least cut it out with the homophobic bullying you keep doing now? Pretty please? As a favor to the me's of your high school who you bullied?
