Oh no I went on YouTube again
I made this reply to this rude comment (not pictured) and I know replying is bad behavior but like 🙃 like the inter-trans "you didn't mention my trans identity when I thought you should have so that means you hate me" conflict stuff is so bananas to me
Here's the text pasted, sorry, I bet that screenshot is hard to read
This commenter above is definitely engaging in bad faith, so I'm not addressing them. But for everyone else reading along, let's do some positive-engagement affirmations!"I understand that if a trans person does not shout out my trans group in a way that I expect, that does not mean they hate me or are out to get me."
"I understand that finding LGBTQIA history is difficult, and I understand that people in ancient times did not have identities that cleanly map onto our modern day identity categories."
"Because of this, I understand that well-meaning and well-informed people may come to different conclusions about the identities of historical figures."
"I understand that small trans creators are doing their best with limited resources, and I will not demand perfect content of them."
"I will reserve my 'screw you, you're out to get me and you suck' energy for people in power who are actually out to get me, as there are many powerful people right now who are out to get me."
Thanks, everyone!
