The issue in the comic is this: a nonbinary person exists. Random bystander: “are you a man or woman?” NB: I’m neither. Bystander then proceeds to ask what genitalia they have, not taking “nonbinary” as a valid answer. Yes the enby in the comic was snarky about it. I wouldn’t do that if someone was genuinely asking, but the comic suggests the bystander was being judgemental or otherwise a jerk about it. In which case yeah, I’m gonna be mean right back.
Except this is a manufactured situation? And none of the"ifs" stand up to a single question about sources. Spiting actual racists/nazis is encouraged, but manufacturing hate because they never received any real one, just to create a conflict to be mad about is vain and attention seeking as fuck.
These people exist. I’ve met them, my friends have met them, and I personally have been abused by them. This is not a strawman argument, it’s a snarky comic aimed at real people who have hurt people like me. I don’t see why attacking those people is “arrogant and attention seeking.” Were not pretending to be victims, we’re attacking people who have hurt us through humor and snarky remarks… a perfectly reasonable response I’d say. I also apologize for assuming you’re one of those people, I was quick to jump to that conclusion when it looked like you were defending such actions…
Do you believe the person in the comic is justified in asking about the other individual’s genitalia? The comic is aimed at such people. If you think that’s weird and wrong, you’re not the target of this comic. But I don’t think it’s arrogant at all to be mean to such people who think we should be discriminated against based on our genitalia.
The comic puts those words in the bubbles. It’s self serving. It’s like that lady who put a fake target on her head and called it what happens to feminists irl.
You seem to have completeley missed the fact that there are real life people who are against trans people, you seem to be one of them which kind of makes me wonder how you missed this fact
Are you saying nobody actually does such things to us? It’s all a strawman, nobody actually asks what’s “in our pants”? Because I have most certainly encountered such people personally, and many of my friends have been harassed by them.
Of course not. I’m saying to minimise fake situations and bring attention to real ones. You do understand how this comic makes you look right? No one is stupid enough to think an actual terf provided the lines for the bubbles. This was all written by a trans person in an attempt to get a reaction.
Of course I don’t think it was written by an actual terf. But very similar things are often said by them, and I think there is a place for using satire like this. Satirical comics have been used in countless other political issues for hundreds of years (just look at the comics similar to this against King George). Why is it any different or any more “arrogant” in our case?
Because you can simply exist, there’s no fucking need to shout it.

Lol. Lmao. Thanks for proving that your type’s only contribution to society is being pompous assholes. And I do mean you specifically.
My type? I am a cis man
