trans/queerphobia is not limited solely to the actual murder of people it also includes but is not limited to:
- casual cissexism (ie. “girls are so strong dealing with their periods!”)
- denial of privilege (ie. “yeah gay people might have it hard but i have it hard too and im straight!!”)
- trivialization of oppression (ie. “not all cis people are like that!! theres a few assholes out there, but most people are accepting!”)
- passive by-standing (ie. not actively oppressing trans/queer people but also not DOING ANYTHING when they are being oppressed)
- refocusing attention onto the privileged party (ie. “yeah you may get called a [t slur] but you called me a cishet which is bullying!!”)
- weaponizing support (ie. “now that you were mean to me i dont know if i want to support queer people anymore”)
- invalidation of anger (ie. “just because youre oppressed doesnt mean you can just bully people!”)
- simplifying oppression (ie. “lets all just be nice to each other!”)
- erasure of identities (ie. “just stop labeling yourself and you wont get oppressed!”
what if bigfoot is just someone’s fursona and they were just out hanging around in their fursuit and someone caught them on tape and now they’re too embarassed to come out about it
