look at this portrait of Pinkie Pie as an environmentalist Lawyer which has been signed by her voice actor.

It's yours if you turn a blind eye to my corruption of the system.

I think that the reason Pip, Rpg, and I are upset is that transphobia is being assumed in place of mere ignorance. It is the responsibility of activists to bear the burden of communicating their grievances to the uninformed; while it is not fair that the ones who already understand should have to do so, human interaction is not rooted in fairness. People cannot spontaneously generate knowledge.

However, this gulf in understanding has, I feel, been used to justify self-righteousness and hostility instead. When those of us who don't understand say "Hey, you're being unnecessarily hostile," we're met with further hostility, which in turn creates feelings of self-righteousness on the part of the ignorant, which in turn creates the total shitfuck we have now.

To clarify: the mistreatment and misunderstanding of transsexuals is something completely justified in feeling angry about. But turning that anger upon unrealized allies is self-defeating activism.


Edit: Aaaaand you all made up while I was spending all that time thinking up a single post. I need to find a way to fix my Asperger's.

There's a huge difference between the uninformed admitting mere ignorance and engaging in a constructive conversation to educate themselves, and the uninformed pretending to be sufficiently informed to pass judgment upon the legitimacy of said grievances.
