ARG

Today I witnessed the rare trans variety of the “But I have black friends” defense.  I am, for my internship, required to keep a work journal. It’s supposed to be things I’ve learned, but since it’s me, also features brief psychological profiles of my coworkers and any reactions to social interactions. This is part of what I wrote today.

Arg. So one of my coworkers may be some sort of werewanker. Friendly and helpful and we have similar fandoms and then BLAM transphobic slurs and wondering “why they get so angry.”

 

( ranting and some quoted slurs )

Just because you’re friends with someone who you are (supposedly) allowed to call a slur doesn’t mean you’re enlightened or you can use those words to others.
