Some Things Just Need To Be Said
5 years ago
I know I'm not exactly popular and very few people have heard of me or notice that I exist, but I do want to make some things damn clear.
If you're a Trump supporter or anything of the sort, unfollow me. I don't fucking want you associating with me. I don't have time for your tired rhetoric that people such as you have been regurgitating for well over a damned century. You aren't rebels. You only care about individualism when it comes to you and people like you. God forbid someone should make the choice to be vegan, be a religion other than Christian, just not drink a beer because they don't like beer, voice active opposition to political power structures, love who they want, express their gender identity, celebrate their own culture if they aren't of Euro-American descent, express their maleness or femininity in ways that aren't in line with what you think men and women should be, make choices on what they want to do with their own bodies, just not be harassed at work or out in public (You know that thing that the last time I checked counted for basic human decency), and numerous other things. You just want to regulate everything but big business. By the way, free speech is not freedom from criticism of that speech. You are free to say whatever bigoted, inane, unoriginal, and frankly at this point boring bullshit you want, but I'm also free to call you an asshole for it. These things ain't mutually exclusive.
Also can I ask you people why it's only an "agenda" when people on the left say "Hey maybe treat people with proper kindness and equity" but not when you want to more-a-less make Christianity the state religion or try to make it legal to fully discriminate against LGBTQIA+ people and people of color? I do have an agenda, but at least I admit it instead hiding behind empty slogans and falsehoods. If you argue for anything at all, you have an agenda. It just so happens that mine is predicated on making a better world for everyone not a select few.
You assholes talk about censorship, yet you're the ones issuing all the threats of violence, shooting people, ramming cars into peaceful protesters and demanding legislation that would make it illegal to criticize the country, it's government, discuss LGBTQIA+ identities and issues, express religious sentiments that don't align with your twisted parody of Christianity, and generally being a menace to people who just want to live their lives in peace. Who's trying to silence who here? Don't give me that free speech bullshit when you so clearly don't actually give a fuck.
By the way, prayer in school isn't illegal. What's illegal is for the school to mandate it, to say that students have to do it in a certain way, or for teachers to demand it. The kids are free to pray to whatever Divinities they please as long as it's of their own volition and not something demanded by the school itself.
While I'm at it, I'll admit wearing face masks isn't generally comfortable and I don't like it, I'd rather be safe if I'm going to be in really close proximity to people in a relatively cramped public space with a bunch of people I don't know. I can always take it off later when I'm at home or out walking in a less crowded public space, over at a friends place who doesn't give a damn, or something like that. I don't wear the mask for myself anyway. I do it for the people I know who are actually at risk, who actually are immune compromised. There is no satanic illuminati conspiracy. It's funny how y'all say companies should be able to put down whatever rules they want when it comes to discriminating against people, but they minute they say "Hmmmm....I think we should possibly take measures to ensure someones actual health and safety" you flip the fuck out. It's all fun and games until they do something you don't like. This didn't need to be some kind of political issue, but you've gone done made it one for no fucking reason. Yeesh...And you say us lefties like making stuff political.
But mostly... I'm just tired of dealing with you. I can debate you all you want, present you with facts and figures, insult you or whatever...If you're hellbent on ignoring reality or just being an asshole, well, there's not much I can do about it. I just want to be left in peace. Honestly, it's all I've ever wanted, but you keep insisting on making my life and numerous other peoples lives more complicated/stressful than they need to be.

If you don't like any of this, then you can pucker up and kiss my race traitor, anarcho-syndicalist, pagan, femboy, environmentalist, non-drinking, feminist, LGBTQIA+ ally, damn near complete pacifist, anti-death penalty, pansy ass and lick my anus while your at it. Peace... I'm just done with you.
Everybody else...Thanks for sticking around despite what disagreements we may have. I hope you're doing well.

This is extremely well written. And made me cry a little.
I am a transgender, genderqueer, ace gay teacher. Most families I work with would be moved by this journal as well.
For all new families, I make it very clear what my pronouns are and how helpful my husband is at our school events. If they have an issue with me or the other Queer teachers at my school, then we're better off without them enrolling. (Btw, they say it's all about "the kids" but the kids genuinely don't give a shit lol, I tell them my name and pronouns and they just use them. Not hard.)
