        I’ll have you know it’s perfectly unnatural when I invert my corporeal form to assimilate my terrified victims into the eldritch void where my soul used to be.

        But in all seriousness, agreed. It’s not possible for something that’s part of nature to be unnatural. All behaviors are natural. Some behaviors pose a threat to the individual or society at large, and that’s the only case where any action should be considered, but only as a harm reduction strategy rather than punitive. An individual’s sexuality, gender identity, etc., definitely don’t qualify as dangerous.

        It’s why they got demoted from family to simply relatives

        Family is the relationship, relatives are blood

        Family doesn’t treat me like they did

        Finally getting away and being able to be me was bliss.

        It was like stepping into the dawn and feeling the sun hit your face after a long cold night. The shivers that go through your body as the cold leaves your body.

        The shaking breaths as the fresh air hits your lungs.

        And the sadness for others still stuck in the darkness. Those afraid that the new day will be as dark as the old night. Those who are trapped still unable to breathe the air of freedom.

        And for them I still dip into the shadows, so that I may show them the light. For without someone showing me the light I would have never gone through the pain to step out for myself.

    Yeah, becoming unacceptable is a good way to open yourself up to violence, abuse and corruption of the legal system itself just to get rid of you. Becoming unacceptable opens yourself up to getting killed for no good reason. The people around you have the power to collectively decide you need to go, and to remove you, at any time and for any reason, and they will subvert their own laws to do it… remember the lockdowns if you don’t believe me.

    I don’t care if it’s hypocritical of me to say. It’s the truth. People are no-good monsters to be feared specifically for that reason.

        And I remember when left-wing assholes showed their true colors when they forced their families to stay isolated from each other, destroying everyone’s mental health, causing developmental delays in children, causing suicide, murder and domestic violence rates to skyrocket; completely fucking ignoring and dismissing the ADA and HIPAA; imprisoning people in their houses for years on end; cheering when people who opposed them died of covid; blatant mass censorship of their cruelty; massive police crackdowns where entire populations who protested were beaten down and the left cheered for the exact same cops and evil cop behavior they claim to hate; how the stupid fucking Australian government used the lockdowns as an excuse to empty out entire towns of Aborigine peoples to throw them in literal concentration camps out by Darwin while the left claims to care about racism; the complete lack of respect for human rights; and in general showing that the left is nothing but a bunch of emotional hypocrites just as the right frames them to be.

        I remember the lockdowns well.

        And dumbass people on the left think they can pretend none of it ever happened, but you can’t. The lockdowns’ effects are everywhere: the inflation spike we’ve all seen, the trillions of dollars corporations stole that would never have been possible without the lockdowns – trillions corporations are using to buy up all the houses and land imposing a new feudalism on the American people and denying them their right to home ownership, the deaths of despair that are still high and still happening, how schoolkids lost on average a third of a school year of learning and how kids born during covid are struggling to catch up.

        And most importantly, how the dumb fuck left enabled the rise of the fucking alt-right into mainstream politics, justifying the right by supporting and defending something so insane, and now when you see Nazis marching down your streets and they laugh at, make fun of and dismiss you when you call them out on it. Who would take seriously your moral claims after you’ve done something so monstrous?

        Honestly. You’re fucking horrific monsters. And you wonder why dumb fuck centrists call you out for being just as bad as the right. 🤦

        Thanks for proving my point, though. Only if humanity really was mostly monstrous would your only refutation be about the lockdowns – and you defending monstrous behavior – instead of addressing my main claims in any real meaningful way.

        You know you did wrong and you just don’t want to feel bad about it.

        Perhaps. I have seen it happen literally way too may times myself to really be able to treat it as anything but. I take your point though.
