CW: Doomer Rant About TransphobiaUnless someone explicitly confirms that they are not transphobic via the means of something like a genuinely supportive statement, a genuinely supportive action, or association with a group that outright condemns transphobia to a strict degree, I assume they are transphobic by default. This serves as a safety mechanism.

This includes trans people themselves, and it even extends to non-binary trans people.

Unfortunately, this mentality is extremely depressing and makes me feel that the world is fervently against me, but it's not exactly wrong to assume that the world is fervently against me.

I never operate under the assumption that any stranger I meet, trans or cis, binary or non-binary, will truly respect me and be content with who I am, and that's how bad transphobia has gotten.

I also live in Florida, so...

Similar boat, but not exactly the same; given I assume anti-Blackness out of every unmelanated person I meet until given reason to believe otherwise-- so I can at least empathize with the angle. The only solace I have to offer is the fervent belief that even if slow, and even if greased in the blood of reaction, the arc of history will still eventually bend toward justice. All living things grow toward the light except for nihilists and fungi after all; and fungi at least serve a use in the circle of life.

I gave white people the benefit of the doubt after becoming class conscious and learning about the classism imposed on them rather than racism, but with that being said, after seeing so many white people not only cheer on literal armband SS skull wearing Nazis in the name of “democracy” and a “bulwark” to protect domestic minority rights, but demanding I also support it, I now go in the assumption that every white person is at best blissfully ignorant, or at worst active Nazis, no matter how many yard signs they have proclaiming progressive values.

For example, I’ve discussed genocide, particularly the real Palestinian one and fictional ones in media, with some white coworkers are very liberal and supposedly anti fascist. They simply do not understand my position on using violence to combat violence and moving to a peaceful future. Perhaps it’s because they’ve lived in a country that’s always on the giving end of violence while ignoring their own suffering. Some of them have ‘defeatedly’ declared they’ll still purchase treats that benefit Israel while acknowledging the genocide… in front of Muslim and Arab colleagues. Like… what the hell man lol. And one of said white coworkers had the balls to suggest I rename a document that I temporarily, jokingly, and privately named “The [Project Name] Bible” because “[Muslim coworkers’ names] might be offended.”

Dgmw, I like fungi, without them we'd have NO efficient decompositors save like... Throwing dead shit into humid locations and letting it break down by itself; but you can't deny their dank creepiness and their seeming disregard for the sun.
