Thinking about a conversation I was having with an acquaintance years ago. He was a friend of a friend and we were talking about food. I forget the exact phrasing but I brought up loving avocados. He said “what’s that?” I was a bit surprised and explained. He responded “OH thats crazy I thought that was one of those made up words”. The statement was like a flashbang I had to contemplate for a few minutes. PERSONAL STORIES ONLY, DO NOT INCLUDE A STATEMENT FROM A CELEBRITY OR POLITICIAN.

    My aunt was offended that I said I have heard her spread hateful misinformation about transgender people. She sent me some unhinged messages that I spread hate and I support Disney even though it’s run by pedophiles and that transgender people are shooting up schools. And she doesn’t understand why I think she spreads hateful disinformation about transgender people. She has also, in past conversations, repeated other insane myths about transgender people lopping off six-year-old’s penises.

    This woman just has no awareness of what comes put of her own mouth. I believe there is a disconnect in her brain. She simultaneously preaches acceptance and inclusive while also somehow believing every bit of hateful misinformation you have ever heard about queer people. Just repeats whatever she’s told while accusing everyone else of being sheep.

        She’s nuts. She preaches about how we all need to tune out all the hate and negativity in the world, seemingly unaware that she’s contributing to it with constantly repeating hateful misinformation
