    So, you know that infamous Swedish study that everyone always cites out of context? Someone on Facebook posted an article citing that study about how being trans is bad, so I replied with the actual study. This was probably stupid, but I'm fed up with the ignorant conservative bullshit that people actually manage to believe.

    Oh joy, that stuff again. You have my sympathy having to deal with it.

    You make me thankful I only really get people squicking out about trans people on Facebook now. Did I really just type that?

    That's what I do and works every time!

    I can feel you, though. I used to like arguing with bigots before being a minority became too big of a real life issue for me.
