    Sure. Doesn’t mean I have to fly your flag. I don’t ask you to fly mine. Can we both respect that?

      “I know this post is specifically about how trans people existence has ZERO impact on my life…so how can I still make it about myself? In a way that makes ME be the victim too?”

      That’s what you wrote. Almost a skill how the whole point flew over your head

      Nobody is asking you to fly someone’s flag. Trans people just want the freedom of not being refused jobs and generally not be verbally assaulted and then denied at any institution they visit. These people can barely live, because assholes in power actively go out of their way to fuck them over.

      Oh what’s that? You look, sound and act like a man, but upon closer inspection your ID says F? Guess you’re just not a good fit for this society, sorry, better luck next time!

      I’m sick of people making this about some culture war. It’s about freedom of expression. A core principle of the constitution and the human rights charter! A violation of such core principles, will eventually came to bite you too, once trans people, but also immigrants and other minorities are gone and the rich need a new scapegoat. Next will come thought crime, once we all look the same, like in the old days.

      I don’t see where anyone asked you to fly theirs, either?

        Go check out what happened to the warmington mayor when he refused. His town doesn’t even have a flag pole!
