"Respect my trans homies, unless you wanna be a was/were" ends on the implication to wonder about. Putting it first might distract them from the second half of the message. Not quite happy with my versuon either, though I'm not sure why. Might need more workshopping still. permalink fedilink source parent [–] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 23 points 1 week ago (1 child) Wow I love that sign.
