For those who haven’t heard yet: a radio show booked an Australian “Gender Critical” :up-yours-woke-moralists: man to argue against trans rights. But people checked his Twitter likes and they were half GC and half… trans porn. : YEARS worth of it. So he cancelled his appearance and deleted his account 😂 :thonk-trans:

    Granted not my family… but I would have fun bringing up every time he talks about gay people something like “you seem to think about gayness a lot, have you ever thought about that?”

    I have family members with subtly racist/bigoted views that they don’t see as such. I am getting less and less motivated to bite my tongue at family gatherings when they say something trashy. One night my dad showed his ass by defending the English Monarchy and Christopher Columbus because the atrocities they did were in the past when they were considered “normal” and you can’t criticize them for that. :brainworms: Because you know, morality has only existed for a couple hundred years now.

      I remember when a pedo apologist said that one of his ancestors hundreds of years ago married his wife when he was in his 30s and his wife was 14, and that if I called that pedophilia, then I’m calling that ancestor of his a pedophile.
