saying something this edgy does not absolve you of bigotry

      To an observer, I would be indistinguishable from cis het, but finding oneself can be a fuck, so let’s call me a work in progress trending towards “not strongly identifying with or performing” my AGAB or another gender. Parent to plural children.

      If they grow up to become bigots, it is my obligation to work to change that fact. The best chance I have to enact such change is to remain a part of their lives as much as they’ll allow. Above all else, however, I have an obligation to look out for their well-being. It may break my heart to be around them, but I brought them into this world, and so long as I’m around they will have a roof and a meal should they require it.

      For this analogy to work, you’d have to replace “became a massive bigot towards LGBTQ+ people” with “dated a straight person,” or are you claiming that those two things are equivalent?

          You’re the one who brought up LGBTQ+ as a point of comparison to begin with, so I guess by your own standards, either you don’t know enough to be speaking in this conversation, or you’re just arguing in bad faith.

          Which is about what I’d expect from a day-old account that wants to socially and economically punish POC for dating white people. Funny enough, that’s also what white supremacists want. Not “what white supremacists want but with the races reversed,” but literally, exactly what white supremacists want.
