Mildly Interesting

Fear often leads to violence. I assume you've heard of the fight or flight response? Some people avoid, others confront. Both are based on fear.

There are all these Christian fundamentalists who have been told all their lives they'll go to hell if they're not one hundred percent completely straight all the time, and God sees them and knows what they're thinking. Assuming there's a biological element to homosexuality, a large portion of these people are not completely straight from nature's side. Assuming people are often excited by taboos, they might secretly be more bi-curious (or whatever the word is) than the average population.

For these people, every single step towards gay and trans rights is making it a little bit harder to live in complete denial. They cannot simply ignore it, because they're obsessed with it. One improper thought and they'll burn in hell.

Of course this crowd is terrified of trans people.

You probably think that "sunrise" means the sun is literally moving upward too, don't you?

You:

There's no such thing as transphobia.

Also you:
* proves there's such thing as transphobia. *

You're a special one aren't you?

As bad as this take is, I actually do think transphobic is too light of a term for these assholes. Transphobic can imply to some people that its not their fault for being disgusting in some way. We don't call racist nazis 'racephobic', 'blackphobic', or 'jewphobic'. We need a harsher term to label them is what I'm getting at. I will just refer to them as bigots for now.

You know what there is? Hatred. And people that reject other people for who they are need to get out more and realize we are all just people.

Did you crawl out from under that rock just to comment before going right back??

Well shit, I'm going to demand a refund for the waterproofing spray I just bought!

It says "hydrophobic" but by god I used it and my tent still ain't afraid of no water!!!!1111
