you can choose your people and your environment but people never stop being cruel.

i actually think that most people are forced to age out of juvenile bullying but not out of unkindness so they move on to more serious antisocial expressions that are viewed as ”acceptable” such as right-wing politics.

sure, nobody will exclude me for my appearance anymore, but they surely will because of my race or religious beliefs (or lack thereof).

funnily enough my class became super divided in the last election and it was mostly mean people who voted right wing and nice kids or the minorities who voted left wing.

i wish people were more sincere and honest.

also, i wish people would take responsibility for their issues after a certain age.

bullying kids because you get abused at home is unfortunate but understandable. being a grown woman in your 30s and being ”afraid” of trans women because of your experiences and supporting their oppression is NOT understandable.

i got bullied by muslim kids and i dont use that as an excuse to be anti-Palestine.

so no, being racist towards black people or any race for that matter because you got bullied by a member of their group is NOT acceptable.

i think that people operate on such a childish level but in adult bodies.

people never stop being cruel

"cruel" activities are usually something forged by lack of consciousness, ignorance, or a very rooted tradition, someone has to teach them that something is "cruel" to at least make an effort to stop it

most people are forced to age out of juvenile bullying but not out of unkindness

i don't know what kind of environment are you living, but this is not accurate

funnily enough my class...

well...you're probably still young if a school memory feels still so relevant

being a grown woman in your 30s and being ”afraid” of trans women because of your experiences and supporting their oppression is NOT understandable

it is if you're raised in a very psychotic religious home. there's terfs created by looney religious parents, and there's terfs like jk rowling, who probably became like that after getting filthy rich but needing someone to hate rather than capitalist class. a poor rowling would be more leftist and accepting by working and living among trans people, but no the rich rowling who can afford a mansion and being isolated of certain types of interactions
