'If they listen to me talking, hopefully they think "well, that's just some person, they seem a decent person".'

BUT THAT’S JUST IT EDWARD!! I already thought you seemed like a decent person when you were a comedian. I had zero issue with your cross dressing. I thought your jokes about transvestite shock troopers were bloody hilarious! I had no problem with you at all! But that’s not what’s happening at large. What I’m seeing is truly disgusting, detestable, slimy, grotesque weirdos doing everything in their power to convince me that they are disgusting, detestable, slimy, grotesque weirdos. Gay rights gained acceptance because we realized that gay people are just regular ass people who it’s usually easy to support (with the exception of the increasing worrisome behavior at pride parades, but even there, I believe those are a gross minority). But because people suffering from gender dysphoria are blessedly rare, they get drowned out by the fat, ugly, gross losers who are so whacked out huffing on digital copium and act like disgusting blobs of rotting excrement, or selfish clowns demanding praise and adoration for being the man who wins a race against women, and throws a manly fucking tantrum when us normal people respond with disgust.

I will not ignore the fact that men and women are not interchangeable no matter what a loud smelly gaggle of chronically online losers shrieks at me. I will never cheer on a man competing in sport against women. I will never respect a person like that. I will never consider a trans identified man for a relationship just because he insists he’s really a hot woman and not a man in a dress. I will not pretend a man can give birth because a woman who wants to be extra special claims she is a man.

Demanding we all play along with a ridiculous fantasy and having the audacity to get angry when we don’t accept their feelings instead of the cold hard reality we can see with our own fucking eyes, is not something “a decent person” expects. That’s something a lunatic would demand. And I don’t take lunatics’ opinions and demands seriously.

So no, Eddie. Trans issues are becoming less popular, not more popular. With every Lia Thomas and Rachel McKinnon… with every slobbering sweat drenched tweet threatening real women with rape, death, and violence by a fat, greasy, porn sick man in an anime dress… with every demand that we substitute reality for the fantasies of losers I would avoid in the grocery store, we get further and further away from acceptance.

And meanwhile, a lot of good LGBT people pay the price for the behavior of the oily adipose heavy social rejects, who barged fatly into their community and crybullied and emotionally abused their way to hogging the mic, making everything exponentially worse for absolutely everybody.
