I was dating a girl once and things were pretty good. She was at my place and random songs played from my playlist. She was outside with the dogs and when she walked in, transgender dysphoria blues by against me! Was playing, which happens to be one of my favourite bands/songs. She looked at it and had an odd reaction. I kinda shrugged it off. Some time later we were at a concert and she came over to me, pretty excited. I asked her what’s up and she pointed at some guy and was like: do you think that guy is a girl?? He looks like a girl. She had some diabolical excitement in her voice. I asked her why that matters and why she would care. She said because she just wants to make fun of them.
I was never in my life so disappointed in a person and my own ability to judge a character. We had a huge fight there and she told me that she can’t believe i would freak out because of “some tranny”.
I tried to explain to her that i spend most of my adult life going to concerts like this, where people can just be themselves without some random assholes judging them. We broke up and i never saw her again. It kinda shook my world, that “normal” people are just like this. People i “like” it’s so shit and no one deserves that.
Fuckin love how Laura Jane Grace belts even better after transitioning, it’s wild. Tbh I do get a weird twinge when the F slur drops, but it also kinda goes hard. It just feels like an archaic word to hear nowadays. Makes for a pretty good temp check of a song though
People really are weird sometimes … I’ve had similar experiences where people come out with some random racism or bigotry, and it’s like “WTF, that was in them all along?!”

Woah I really expected it turn out she was trans and not a bigot, bullet dodged.

Yeah it’s so weird that normal people can be evil. I’ve dated a lot of people, even inside the trans community, who turned out to be just awful.

“Okay, so I’m not racist, but… [the most racist and out of nowhere opinion that no one asked for].”
Lmao l immediately started imagining someone on Xbox Live. But that was back in the day and now they’re just in the grocery store and shit.
