what really gets on my last fucking nerve is when someone doesn’t respect the time others have.

If we set a meeting at 12, then we meet at 12. Being late 5 or 10 min is fine (or if something unexpected,eg. had an important call for 30 min), but if you KNEW you’d get to the meeting point at 12:30, THEN SAY IT BEFOREHAND. What is this entitlement that assumes that your friends have nothing better to do than wait for you? A lot of things can be done in 30 minutes, dude. I fucking hate it when ppl are like haha yeah appointment at 12, leaving home at 12:10. Fuck off with that shit.

Or like, you know your friend is waiting for you, but you insist on catching up with a person you met on the street for 15 minutes rather than set a better time for that meeting – like, dude, give at least a fucking warning. Don’t just assume that your friend will wait there especially if SHE HAS A TRAIN SHE NEEDS TO CATCH (yes that’s v specific, guess why).

Or when people msg you like “HEY WE HAVEN’T MET IN A LONG TIME I’ll be available tomorrow or the day after from 1 until 2 – wait, what do you MEAN you can’t meet me?” Like, here’s a fun fact: a lot of people have commitments. SCHEDULED commitments. You wanna hang out? Tell me a week in advance so I know I haven’t scheduled meetings with supervisors or if I have deadlines, I know to take that in account.

The other day a friend of sorts who lives in a neighbouring city called me and was like “hey i’m going to stay overnight at ur place and then the day after we can meet at my place” and like, no regard for how busy I am atm. And then much offense, such surprise when I say no.

Like, you’re not entitled to someone else’s time. You’re not entitled to MY time, especially when I have so many other things I need to do, with deadlines and commitments and what not. And even if I had the extra time, you not caring about being late for 30 minutes just tells me you don’t respect me enough to put the effort into not making me wait for long.

I have my issues, obv, and lack of respect from people who have thought of me as either too dumb or annoying has made me eventually become sensitive about this issue. If I feel like you don’t give me the common courtesy you give other people, I don’t see how a friendship could survive. And how you treat my time is an indicator of that.

Hey do y’all fucks remember two years ago when just before the election all these “don’t vote both parties are bad” or “vote independent!” Posts were going around and then Trump won and now two weeks before midterms there’s all these “don’t bother voting, revolution is the only way!” And “your vote isn’t gonna matter and is an ineffective way to protest” posts are going around? Yeah knock that shit right the fuck off, don’t fall for it and get your ass to the polls, we are not doing this again.

I know it’s not hard to point out reactionaries hypocrisy when it comes to like safe spaces or hug boxes or whatever but genuinely how much of an echo chamber do you have to exist in for you to think this is a reasonable thing to say

fuck every democrat who says the issue of trans rights is a “distraction.” fuck every single liberal who say that the threat of stripping every trans person of legal recognition is a red herring or a losing issue and if we focus on it too long we’ll throw the election. we’re talking about human rights, access to medical care, sex education, discrimination, citizenship, and a whole lot else, for millions of people.

trans people aren’t a “distraction.” we’re human beings. the fact that so many liberals turn their backs on trans people is fucking despicable.

Okay…but this, right here? This is exactly what the Republican party wants. Young voters turning against the Democratic party and either not voting at all, or voting in favor of some third party candidate that has literally zero chance of pulling in enough votes to win. They want division among the ranks. They want to split our vote. 

In political terms, calling something a ‘distraction’ means it’s a distraction tactic, not that the issue itself isn’t important. The Republican party has a very longstanding history of dropping hints of major policy changes right before big elections in the hopes of getting the “hot-headed liberals” all fired up about it so we start bickering among ourselves. They deliberately drop issues that they know are hot-button topics because these are the topics that have the potential to be the most divisive. 

They’re awful but they’re not dumb. They know trans rights is an issue that could potentially split the democratic vote. It’s an issue that’s very heavily weighted toward the younger side of the party, which again, was a deliberate move on their part. If they can convinced you that the “big bad Democrats don’t care about you little trans and nonbinary kids so why bother,” then they’ve effectively won the election in a walk because the democrats went in divided–again.

Look, the democratic party isn’t perfect. Not by a long shot. But it’s literally the only party that has a snowball’s chance in hell at overtaking the republican majority right now. If we as trans and nonbinary individuals ever want our identities respected and protected, it’s the only party that’s going to be able to get us there, because it’s the party going in the direction we need to go. If you want to vote in favor of our rights, then vote Democrat. No number of videos with pennies is going to change the fact that right now, in this political climate, third party candidates are not going to have enough power to effect the changes we want. 

Warning against something being a distraction doesn’t mean “don’t look at it or worry about it,” it means, “hey, I know this is majorly upsetting, and absolutely something needs to be done, but don’t let it divide us.” It’s literally because the issue is so important that democrats are warning against it as a distraction tactic–if we want to prevent that kind of change from happening under republican rule, we have to keep our heads and not let them keep us from voting as a unified party. 

Please don’t let the political rhetoric make you think that the democratic party isn’t going to be fighting for us and our rights. That’s kind of exactly what the Republican party wants you to think. It’s a division tactic. Don’t fall for it.

The Republican party has a very longstanding history of dropping hints of major policy changes right before big elections in the hopes of getting the “hot-headed liberals” all fired up about it so we start bickering among ourselves.
