all phobias are nonsense based on someone's assumptions and judgements and contradictions are a good sign that their entire hatred is based on an unwillingness to understand what it means. if this kind of behavior was displayed towards a gender like the one binary trans women have, they'd obviously know it's wrong. why don't they extend that logic to "freakier" genders, I'll never know.
Drone Rights
Area for discussion of the gender, disability, and politics of the user DroneRights. Also, compilation of bigotry directed their way from elsewhere in the fediverse.
It's simple: human beings don't like learning. They don't like thinking, and they especially don't like thinking critically. They hate anything different and will find any excuse to fit it into the old ways or to deny its existence.
Trans women campaigned for decades to force people to learn. Drones have only just started. The only way we're getting respect is if we force people to learn about us against their will.
