sigh

They're MUSLIMS. Practitioners of a religion that still kills people for being homosexuals, you fucking ignorant muppets. If you could stop fetishizing them for an hour or so as poor, oppressed victims of "muh Western hegemony/Jewish warcrimes" and actually pay attention to what they do and say, you'd figure out really quickly that there's a bunch of things that Islam doesn't mesh with. Like the perception of Iran as this beacon of trans enlightenment, and not understanding that these transitions are in lieu of death sentences for the crime of homosexuality.

So of course they're not going to attend events that celebrate homosexuality, or genderwoo bullshit in general, because it's something that is utterly against the tenets of their religion. And, unlike the Christians who've been mobbed into submission for the most part until only the actual "no fucks to give" types remain to express their disagreement, Muslims will not bend on this.

The people that say this shit haven’t spent time around Muslims enough to hear the shit that gets said when the guards come down.

I have taught in schools with majority Muslim student populations and significant numbers of Muslim staff and the spiciness of the opinions I’ve heard on the issues of LGBT, race, religion, disability, abortion, women’s rights all from female staff - never worked with any male Muslim staff - would make an edge lord shitposter on 4chan blush.

And the parents can be even worse in what they say and how they act. I’ve witnessed a parent walking up to the stage during a “graduation-type” ceremony and roughly pull their daughter off the stage because she was singing and dancing with her classmates.

I look like I should be Muslim, so I often got included in little furtive conversations that, if I were so inclined, I could have got people fired because what they were saying is so unbelievably racist/sexist/homophobic.

I had to discipline some 8/9 year old Muslim girls who had taken to using the term “Christian sluts” to describe girls they didn’t like. They explained that that’s what their mothers called non-Muslim women.
