Don't be silly. The concept of being trans is a relatively new thing, by historical timelines. Fuck me, older black grandparents lived "Whites only" signs. I've seen them.
F@g bashing was a legit sport when I was a teen. Jump dudes coming out of gay bars? Boys will be boys! And no one objected. What are you, a f@g?
Two steps forwards, one step back. Rinse and repeat.
And we ALL have to fight. Men had to fight to the death for labor rights, now they got a holiday, though we've forgotten what it was about.
Fighting might mean your personal extinction. Pick a fucking side, pick up a rifle, be there when you're needed and train. I train.
That pic of me is not a fucking uniform. It's not a "cool guy" pose. (But you gotta admit, it's a great pic!) It's actually ME, working to learn clothing and weather and arms and tool belts and ammo and whatever fucking works in the field. I strap on my AR and pistol, run and jump and sweat and shoot while shaking like a fucking leaf. It takes hard work and sweat. If anyone is on the fence about getting armed and trained, best time to plant a tree is now.
Gonna let the red hats have a monopoly on violence? Nah. Not me. As for me and my house, we serve John Browning (Gun nerd joke, apologies. TWO WORLD WARS!)
I should note; Had hell finding a pic of "liberal armed protestors". Pic I found, meh, those guys aren't looking too "practical", let alone "tactical". Didn't used to be hard to find such pics. Huh. Make of that what you will.
Final note if one wants to get strapped: PRACTICE IN ALL CONDITIONS. The slightest discomfort gets magnified 10x over a very short period of time when the going gets rough.
(Sorry OP, just venting.)
The historical record for what we would now call transgender people goes back over 4,000 to Ancient Babylon. And that's just the written historical record.
Democracy was also an old concept. But democracy didn't get popularized until very recently.
Ah fuck, I knew someone would be around to pick on that.
Trans rights in Western culture is a new thing we gotta fight for. Fuck me, gay rights is a relatively new thing we still gotta fight for. Didn't read my post? Were you not around when gay marriage was a sticking point? Like, 15-years ago? I know goddamned well the concept has existed since we were monkeys.
Your comment is a perfect example of why conservatives hate holier-than-thou liberals. Pick up a rifle or STFU.
Maybe edit the wording in the post to clarify that instead of writing this response.
