So I came along to darken your timelines with those last few RTs just to give some context to how those wacky British arch conservatives who keep shouting against all evidence to the contrary that they're "feminists" have decided to spend their morning, mostly just so I can point

out how much better life would be for really just people in general, but also very specifically them specifically if they were to just, you know, stop.

Just... get the hell off the internet. Make a pot of tea. Watch birds outside your window. Read a book. Watch TV. Relax a bit.

These people spend literally every waking minute acting like the sky is falling over literally nothing at all.

Today's big bit of drama is some woman attempting to organize a mob to lynch a gay journalist... well really just on principle if we're honest, but at least allegedly

because her house is filthy and nobody in her family can be bothered to clean it. Screaming bloody murder takes a whole lot of time and energy and makes you feel like garbage, while putting a similar amount of time and energy into cleaning your house makes you feel pretty good.

So that, perhaps, is a thing worth considering.

And earlier this week, the big hullabaloo in those sectors was about another bigot dealing with his whole family publicly disowning him, his wife disowning him, and Twitter temporarily suspending him, all because he is apparently

completely incapable of going a single day without finding a woman to scream at for... really nothing in particular. He could very very easily just stop doing that. Spend his time on literally anything else, and not get into such hot water. Possibly mending those relationships he

has just been burning down left and right by being a hatemonger.

And really, in a more general sense, all of these people spend so much time harassing trans women that I'm not sure any of them ever get any sleep. Which again they could just stop doing to no ill effect whatsoever

Like, I'm not even talking about the time they spend pushing political agendas or writing propaganda here. They really do just waste hours and hours every day seeking out just random trans women of no particular importance to spend all day screaming at. Like imagine if you didn't

like dogs. Twice a week you publish an article in your local newspaper about how nobody should be allowed to own dogs, and OK, that's pushing your cause at least I guess... but then with literally all your spare time you just go outside, walk around your neighborhood looking for

dogs out in your neighbors yard, and shout "I hate you" at them. Not even at the neighbors. At the dogs themselves. How the hell is this a productive use of your time? And shouldn't you be trying to minimize your exposure to dogs if you're really that against them? You could just

stay inside and pet your cat, and never even see a dog all day.

Although honestly, the political agenda stuff is also a big waste of their time and energy. Like, from where I sit, it's a pretty big deal, because I'm one of the trans women whose basic civil liberties they're out

trying to repeal, sure, but what's actually on the line for any of them? They have plenty of completely off the wall propaganda lines about how we're going to like steal all the world's children and bake them into a pie or whatever, but like... they workshop those. They're for an

uninformed audience. It's theater. They know none of it is true.

Beyond the whole shouting at local neighborhood dogs thing they do, I'm fairly certain most of these people have never even run into a trans person in their day to day lives. Not knowingly anyway.

We don't really

have any nefarious agenda that needs thwarting.

Any time one of these bigots manages to force me to abandon my plans for the day and deal with their attacks, the plans they're interrupting are like... making myself a nice dinner. Or spending a couple hours playing Risk of Rain 2

I have friends who often have to abandon their nefarious plans to practice guitar for a bit, or watch a movie. I mean, even if we look at what presumably would be their ultimate nightmare scenario of a trans woman attaining some sort of political office... we have Danica Roem as

an example of how that plays out, and her big sinister plan after taking power was to uh... adjust her state budget to get some much needed road repairs taken care of and alleviate some traffic problems.

The horror. The sheer horror.

And like, if I didn't have to deal with all

these constant hate-spewing bigots, it's entirely possible I might ultimately... convert some classic monsters from D&D to wacky space D&D. Maybe work on some software to make it easier to play such games over the internet.

And I mean, I guess really the fact that nothing would

actually change noticeably anywhere in the world were these bigots to just, you know, STOP, is kinda why they feel they can't. Kind of a sunk cost fallacy thing. If you're spending 16 hours a day every day doing what you insist is stopping The Evil Trans Agenda, and you were to

ever take even a single day off, nothing would happen, which would then prove that you've just been wasting your time, and you'd have to face the fact that you've wasted, in some cases, like the last 40 years or so of your life tilting at windmills. But if you can keep it up you

can keep people from making that observation and convince yourself you're making a difference.

Of course, you're not. I know you're not. Deep down, you know your not. I really doubt there's anyone out there who really thinks you are. So... really, I'd strongly consider the whole

stopping thing. Even if you've wasted over half your life shouting until you're blue in the face at innocent people minding their own business and you have one foot in the grave, you can still mange a few spiritually fulfilling things before you die. Or at least maybe experience

what life is like when you aren't completely apoplectic from the rage you've whipped yourself into because you can't find a better way to spend your time. Not being hugely upset at all times is honestly pretty great.

Also I'm mainly addressing all this at a hypothetical audience

of massive bigots who almost definitely aren't going to see it what with how I have every single one of them blocked and like 50 of their alts each, but this applies to quite a lot of other people too.

Like my friend Arthur who I quoted a bunch in establishing this context. He

spend a whole lot of time tonight getting exasperated about some random British hatemonger having a temper tantrum, which seems like a pretty stressful way to spend the wee hours of the morning to me.

I spent about the same chunk of time playing a video game with a good friend.

Streamed it for a bunch of people to watch. Everyone seemed to have a pretty good time. Arthur could have joined in on that instead, and nothing would be lost beyond a bunch of people missing out on staring and thinking "wow this woman really needs to get a life" and I guess me

writing this thread.

Also I hope me using that as an example doesn't come across all passive aggressive or anything because again he's a friend. He's cool. I like the things he does. Just saying, life is too short to waste large swaths of it being mad about inconsequential crap.
