Trans woman going to reply.
Imagine how it feels to be yelled at while in line to pee at a washroom.
Four hings here.
You are not owed politeness. (See 2). I dont know what you said that got removed, so I'm only judging on this comment. But talking to people who are criminalized for trying to pee in certain states, were done trying to be polite.
No one is converting anyone. Were here demanding basic rights and protections that are given to everyone else. You don't like trans people, fine, we dont want to hang with people like that either.
No one in history has gotten said rights politely. Politics dont care about the oppressed until they're forced to be heard.
If your allyship is so flimsy that someone being rude makes you question it, you were never an ally in the first place
From me to you, I face that every day as a trans woman. If you dont like it, get fucked I guess? Thats what I keep getting told....
I get mad when I'm told I should be more polite in the face of a Genocide upcoming
Well, there are people ready to listen. I see you, but not everyone is mean. I hope it gets better for you.
I can’t even access my original comment but it wasn’t mean or judgmental. The problem with society right now is that we can’t have polite discourse.
Thanks for your perspective!
Fuck your poliete discourse. Disrespectfully.

Were in the face of a genocide agaosnt my trans siblings south of the border here.
Were past civilaized discussions.
Trans women are being raped in men's prisons.
Why should I be polite to people who dont want to understand my oppression?
When it's time that me, a Canadian trans woman, feels the need to own a gun for protection. Why should I be polite to anyone?
Thank you for your perspective. Please stop being mean, it doesn’t help.
I understand where you’re coming from.
You are not owed politeness.
Because an example I'm looking at, is a German telling a Jew to be more polite in 1939.
Politeness has never gotten anything, so no, I won't stop.
Ok, thanks!
