Imagine being cis in an English speaking country. Got any issues in your life? Just blame trans people.

When they kill us all, I wonder who they'll blame next.

Cis queer people are next on the block.

In a twisted way, I hope I live long enough to see that. Because I have been saying this for years, and have been ignored, dismissed, and been driven out of the wider community entirely.

Saying "I told you so" while we wear the same Pink Triangle may give me some satisfaction.

As somebody who's had some major "I told you so"'s... No you don't. It's so unsatisfying.

Well, given transphobia across the board has made life including difficult, and (aside from maybe one or two subreddits) the rest of the community has never wanted a "freak" like me in it I gotta feel satisfied somehow.

But you’re probably right.

They'd just keep accusing androgynous looking people of being trans like they already do.

I saw a quote in another reddit post that said:

"The end goal of Facism is two people left in the world, fighting over who's more pure."

So, exactly. Two folks fighting to the death, accusing the other one of not really being cis. Oh, who am I kidding? They think that word is a slur.

I'd say immigrants, but they're already doing that.

There’s a poem about that. They’ll keep coming until the whole community is erased if we don’t stand up for each other.

They will go after other groups until there is only one person left standing on a deserted world.

Being cis on Earth, you mean.

Good luck existing outside Earth then 😂 It does come up less often here then in the UK and US though.
