wooooow my classmates were little pieces of shit today & i’m like. fucking livid.

first, one of the two normie cishet girls i go to lunch with managed to clock the trans guy in the new class & then told the other about it, & i was just like. sitting there in the car trying to figure out what the fuck & why the fuck this needed to be happening. (he’s a dude i vaguely know bc he works at the tattoo shop & i follow him on instagram.) & the girl that was just learning this information (same as the “i’ve never met a jew” girl) goes, “wait, so he’s female?” & i was just instantly like “NO he is male” “but he used to be female?” “NOPE HE’S MALE” like really awkwardly Struggling to figure out what to do but sure as shit not wanting to let them Do That. eventually i just said he was assigned female at birth bc i did not want to have this whole conversation unprepared sitting here in this car with two 21-year-olds. for what it’s worth the reason it came up is bc the girl telling the story had misgendered him out of his earshot & was feeling really bad about it, so like. she vaguely tried i guess, but also failed at the same time lol.

THEN in our fucking radiology class idk what she was talking about or to whomst but this one girl suddenly says loud enough for everyone in the room to hear “[REDACTED] IS THE GAY GUY” about the dude in the new class who is trying to become my friend. & the woman in front of her was like “what?? he is?? i don’t know who that is” so like she’s clearly very intrigued by this ~gossip (i mean he’s fucking married, we’re not in high school) even though she has no fucking clue who the guy even is. now all she knows about him is that he’s The Gay Guy & it’s just like. maybe he’s fine with it but he didn’t go up in front of the class & announce it, maybe that’s his fucking decision, maybe it’s none of your goddamn business. the girl who said it has a gf (she’s pan & says she “hates the word lesbian,” to which i replied, “oh? i don’t.”) & should fucking know better, like just because it’s 2018 doesn’t mean everybody has to be out to everybody or that you have permission to go around outing people. i just had to sit there for the rest of the class seething with fucking rage bc idk it just made me SO MAD. i considered talking to her about it but she wouldn’t have listened & i’m tired of everyone thinking i’m the Class Bitch but like. it was just fucking rude????

& i never mentioned it but one of the first year students was also saying some real serophobic shit the other day & i shut her down but probably not too effectively. she was talking about someone she knows who works in a care home & she was like, “they’re not supposed to disclose to the nurses when a patient has hiv, so sometimes they work without gloves but they could be touching some who has aids!” & after quelling my impulse to punch her in the face i was like, “wow, that’s really dangerous, people with hiv are immuno-compromised so the nurses could be spreading disease to their patients,” but it probably didn’t get through.

why are people gross!!!! schools are failing these dumbass babies!!! i feel so helpless bc i am not equipped to be giving these impromptu after-school specials & nobody listens anyway bc they think i’m just an asshole know-it-all when i’m actually an asshole know-more-than-you!!!!

hey public service announcement, i'm not a fan of conor sobercommunist for a variety of reasons but you all need to evaluate how you speak about a poz gay man and HIV in general! he has never said that he didn't disclose to his ex, that story was spread by terfs, and even if he had: non-disclosure is not automatically rape, there are real safety concerns for HIV+ people that may cause them to not disclose, and please keep in mind most transmissions happen from people who do not know they're positive & that stigma prevents people from seeking out tests and treatment. anyway, you can object to a lot of the stuff he's posted on here without painting him as a rapist by virtue of being HIV+ or calling him a "rabid dog", "plague rat" etc. like are you listening to yourselves? gross

i’m doing a paper on the reagan administration and the AIDS crisis and let me tell you there is a pain i can’t describe that i feel as i watch videos of the reagan administration/the media reacting to AIDS on youtube and find myself reporting every other comment for hate speech. on every fucking video... just 2 months ago, a year ago, last week someone responded to the video decrying the filthy homosexuals for causing this and insisting that they deserved it, that the world would have been better off without the lot of them, complete with slurs and laughter
