    I dressed up as Marilyn Monroe one Halloween as a teen. The costume had the most ridiculous padding on the butt and chest, it was clearly a silly costume and not any sort of statement. The amount of vitriol I faced was eye opening for me. I’m honestly glad I did it because it showed me how people treat those that make them feel uncomfortable. I thought, “if this is how they treat me on Halloween I can’t imagine what other people go through every day” and this was well before trans people were made the boogeyman of the week.

    Guess I deserve to die now? Eat a fuckin dick, Bob.

      Yeah, I avoided coming out for years because I didn’t think I could handle cishet people looking at me and laughing, or their insults. It’s still difficult.

    Idk the authenticity of that but “he dressed up at a party once so the state should be able to murder him” is a pretty pathological take

    Great, the right found a photo of Alex dressed in drag. The right is absolutely irredeemable. There is no way to convince these people to abandon their hateful ways. The fascists will eventually lose power, but they will never change. There is no statute of limitations on murder, and when the right loses control, all involved with this madness must be charged with the conspiracy. Let them fill the prisons they built.

    Remember, everyone has the right to bear arms and protect themselves, except those people.

      The right is made out of hate. That’s how they got there and it’s also what keeps them there.

      To suggest otherwise is to disrespect their position! Do we blame villains for villainy? No! We fight them.
