A guy on this one discord server that I used to hang out on posted this one week ago with something like "damn fuck the UK government for that". I really lost my shit right there but I kept it low because well... I would be labeled as te*f or some shit. Then the conversation took a turn and they talked about puberty blockers and that children by 16 know what they already wanna be and that only small portion actually detransition. This was where I left the server. I thought these people existed only on the shithole that Twitter is, and they actually were around me?! I am so embarrassed of my generation, we're going to get laughed at hard by the next one

Stay hydrated

If it bothers you, say something. If you're leaving the server anyway, why does it matter if they think you're a transphobe or not? I and most lesbian/women like me have been getting continuously kicked out of lesbian and feminist spaces for the past few years for speaking up for ourselves. Some women go back under new accounts to keep spreading their message.

You call yourself an ally, you say you're embarrassed ("of [your] generation"). Well if I were you, I would be too. You saw something you disagree with, ran away without saying anything, then you came here to complain to us about it. You won't even speak up in a discord server while you're on your way out. Not for yourself, definitely not for us.

How are you an ally, exactly? Are you here to help us or are we your shoulder to cry on? What are we supposed to be getting out of this "alliance"? We have so many "allies" who stand around complaining while doing absolutely nothing.
