Trans people aren't even "a people," they're a poor fashion choice. We don't give special rights to cosplayers.

We don't give special rights to cosplayers.

If we did, furfags and WoD LARPers would already be way ahead in line anyway.

Furries? You must be insane. They are groomers at like 100x the rate hons are, and it's mostly a cover for zoophilia. Actually I think that's the whole problem with them. They insist that everything they do is 100% family friendly when it's clearly not. They deny that it's about sex, when that's all they ever do with it. They deny that zoophilia could be a problem, when it's literally about sexual fantasies with animals. Other fetish cultures mind their business, but furries think just because theirs has cartoony characters that they should be able to target kids with it and act like it's all innocent. The furry definition of "safe for work" usually includes actual porn.

I know some people will retort "b-but not all furries", but the ones who aren't like that aren't even furries, they were just groomed into it by furry propaganda. Furries are a community, and that community is built on those perversions, though most will never admit it even though it's blatantly obvious. Some will go as far as to say that everyone who watches cartoons or plays video games is a furry in order to "prove" it's not about sex. But there's clearly more to the story than just "cute/cool animals". Luckily I don't think anyone buys their laughable excuses.

Nice essay, but completely off the point, which was that if we're going to hand out special considerations to idiots in cringe-worthy costumes, there are those who've been waiting (in vain) a lot longer than the troons of [CURRENT YEAR].

None of the other "protected classes" are identities you can choose (and for that matter, choose on a fucking whim whenever you feel like it).

In fact "transgender" is not really even an identity -- it's a (terrible) remedy for gender dysphoria. Someone identifying as trans is essentially identifying as a treatment.

It would be like if you have clinical depression and identify as Prozac.

I accept you as a Prozac. Your assigned pronouns are now Rx and Insurance Denied.
