From a fellow trans person: I know you mean well, but shame/ridicule is the least effective agent of change. This kind of attitude I hear not just from you but other leftist queer friends just straight up leaves a bad taste in people’s mouths and does nothing to convince folks of your cause, no matter how good your intentions are. To quote a Tshirt I once saw: Kindness is more punk rock than a middle finger.
Collective care and justice should be rooted in compassion, not denigration and superiority complexes.
TIL needing to mask for health reasons is a superiority complex.
I’m not going to address any of the rest of your comment except to say, stop tone policing a shitpost. The point was to vent about a genuine frustration, not to convince anyone.
we are of the same mind on this. frankly, i don’t care in the slightest about the feelings of people who won’t put any effort into protecting the lives of others.
I’m more on the “bullying bad, shaming with explanation of how to fix your behavior good” train myself, at least when the goal isn’t just to make shitheads be quiet.
i get you, my issue is that we’re beyond the event horizon, you know? these people have had the explanations. they don’t care, and their not caring kills innocent people. as far as i’m concerned, it’s open season on shitheads.

Wow. Everything you said before this swayed me but this is such an awesome statement that I had to say thanks for expanding my vernacular.
Sir/Ma’am, This Is A Wendy’s.
I love you.
