    In the same way that being trans is not a choice but comes with the human experience of being that person and living in that body, being of a certain age is also just not a choice. Getting randomly bitchslapped for it as I skim through comments is unpleasant, which was clearly your intent.

    I’d expect someone who knows what it is to be othered as a matter of rote to also refrain from using othering terms, rather than selfishly offloading the same exact casually offensive shit unnecessarily onto those they in turn consider to be easy targets.

    Guess I expected wrong.

      It’s the shitty behavior, shitting on someone else just for being unlike you and having different standards for yourself, that i was calling out. Don’t even try to make this an ageism thing because we both know you know it isn’t. Nice try scumbag, fuck off.

      Writing a guilt trip to compare “ok boomer” to the vitriol and hate that trans people experience is some big boomer energy.
