Okay, warning, this isn’t my usual light hearted fare...
I was visiting my brother and his family at their cottage, and one of his friends comes to visit for the night. Typical dinner, decent conversation. Then over desert, the ladies start chatting at one end of the table and my brother, this guy and I are chatting at the other end.
All of a sudden, a nice conversation turns into a hate fest on the trans community. These two are both “bros”, so my brother goes along and starts demeaning the “full on tranny” he used to work with. These two are going’s on about the “transgender agenda,” how kids aren’t really trans, just their parents are trying to be hip, then this douche starts going on about how “the genderfuid are the biggest freaks of them all.”
This is about where I really seriously contemplated punching this guy out. I’m not a violent person, but frankly if I was out to my family (I’m not, just my wife) but if I was out to them, I think I would have done it.
I was actually a little timid about defending our community based on the nature of the conversation, and the people involved, and risking outing myself.
I’m sitting here wearing my genderfluid pride necklace and I’m not sure if I deserve to wear it right now.
Then this idiot starts defending Harvey Weinstein, saying that he hopes all his accusers get sued into bankruptcy because they must have signed a contract exchanging sex for movie roles.
Am I crazy or did this person deserve to be punched in the face in front of his wife?
