What If I Told You That Being Triggered Isn’t A Get Out Of Jail Free Card And You’re Still Responsible

lmaoooooo so a video popped up on my TikTok of a story time of some guy trying to buy his wife tampons and some woman going up to him thinking he was a trans man saying, “see? you’ll always be a woman!”

and he turned to the woman like “I’m buying tampons for my wife because I’m a good fucking husband. do you think if they were for me, I’d look this lost about where the brand is she wants?” he shut her up so fast lmfao. and she walked away looking pale and teary because transphobic people always have to play the victim.

(but also this is what I mean when I say transphobia can affect anyone and being transphobic literally takes over your mind. you cannot think critically at all about anything to do with gender or sex and anyone diverting from the image you have of how things are in your black and white world view is automatically The Enemy)

Me: *hates myself*

Aphrodite: *kicks down door, grabs me by my shirt collar, pulls me in real close and whispers* Stop that.

me, gently pulling my consciousness back into my body: please keep your arms and legs inside the ride at all times

This is the most Kurt thing I have ever seen

Shout out to decadence and degeneracy
