    Well, Donald Trump is a piece of shit. And people routinely say things like “White men ruin the world!”. So, if its OK to say that, why wouldnt it be ok to say something about Jenner in the same vein? Why is it ok to make general statements about some, but not others? Perception, maybe? After all, “men” are supposedly in control of everything, right? So saying “fucking men!!!” is fine. Its “punching up”. Yet, inside the ranks of men are a lot of people who have never done anything wrong. Worse, a lot of them are victims. We often talk about “Men” being violent, but we almost never talk about them being the victims of violence at a rate of over 80% globally according to the UNODC. Yet still, its ok to make jokes about male rape, especially in a prison setting.

    So for me, its ok to generalise about men, then its ok to generalise about everyone.

      We shouldn’t stereotype white men. I know a lot of good ones. Some are even trans-masc.

      That doesn’t justify stereotyping other people 🤷

        No, we shouldnt. But we do. And the same people complaining about this, are the biggest offenders of it. Because bigotry, racism, sexism, never went away. It just changed targets, only instead of people knowing that it was bigotry, racism, sexism, its put out there like its some good fight against “the man”.

        Social media is a fucking hell hole of toxic as fuck pretend good guys, just looking for victims for their hate. And until we address that, fuck it. Everyone is fair game. Including the dumb as fuck, just wanted in on the attention of the Kardashians, cant drive worth a fuck ugly ass privileged as fuck, rich asshole.

          See, you went off on her without mentioning once that she’s trans.

          Donald Trump is a spoiled toddler who rapes children. See, no mention of his race or gender identity.

          It’s pretty easy to not stereotype. Complaining that the same folks asking you not to, are the ones online who would, is more of the same.

          Because I am asking you not to, and I don’t do that. I’m also a trans white woman with a teenage son. So, please don’t stereotype either one of us.
