From a fellow trans person: I know you mean well, but shame/ridicule is the least effective agent of change. This kind of attitude I hear not just from you but other leftist queer friends just straight up leaves a bad taste in people’s mouths and does nothing to convince folks of your cause, no matter how good your intentions are. To quote a Tshirt I once saw: Kindness is more punk rock than a middle finger.
Collective care and justice should be rooted in compassion, not denigration and superiority complexes.
TIL needing to mask for health reasons is a superiority complex.
I’m not going to address any of the rest of your comment except to say, stop tone policing a shitpost. The point was to vent about a genuine frustration, not to convince anyone.

yeah we are pretty pro-bullying people who are doing shitty things over on hexbear, this isn’t going to land
I’m more on the “bullying bad, shaming with explanation of how to fix your behavior good” train myself.
