Nah.http://www.transequality.org/know-…

You say that I am a reactionary simpleton. You think I'm a bigot. I just think you're wrong.

I'm at a loss at how to respond to this. I have read quite a bit on privilege. Had to. I'm amazed that you would say that someone who OD'd on Oxy in Shithole, Kentucky is somehow privileged. A trans person in America is more privileged than a guy in China by the logic of privilege. Higher standard of living,…

You wouldn't blaming yourself. Why would you blame yourself? I'm talking about locus of control. Having an external locus doesn't make you a victim. It makes you think you're a victim.

A) the bathroom law passed. If they try to repeal it, fight them.

Christ. Google cognitive behavioral therapy. Or continue to preach the Holy Gospel of Learned Helplessness. It has served the perpetually furious and endlessly censorious modern adult children so very well.

Ugh. You mean the 40 million white folk under the poverty line or the 70 white folk overdosing on Oxy every single day? Yeah. They know their place, all right.

I don't like shitty jokes. Who the hell likes shitty jokes? I don't want people to practice learned helplessness. Fuck me, right?

You want to teach people learned helplessness? Have at it.

Why are you arguing that it's a joke? Did the author indicate that in any way? Why persist? It doesn't matter if it's just anger. I only care because people continue to disingenuously say it's a joke.

No, they really can't. It's an illusion. I learned it through study and a decade of therapy. Other people can appear to hurt your feelings, but you can challenge the painful thoughts that lead to painful feelings. It's up to you. Or you can try to censor the world. You will fail.

Well, I agree with all that. I just know so many people who repeat this stat and I think it's harmful. I believed in it for years and was endlessly outraged. I see no point in others doing the same.

Yes, yes, I must tell racist jokes because I think people shouldnt make a huge fucking deal about this. I'm racist. You got me.

You seriously want me to believe that was a joke? I don't. It's not. It's just an angry statement. Why deny it?

Par for the course.

Well, the answer is to not give other people control over your inner life. I'm sorry, but if you let people delegitmize your existence with a joke, you're screwed.

Jesus Christ. You think white men are never the butt of the joke and always comfortable and we should be super vigilant in protecting certain people from humor? You are calling for protected classes and censorship. Grow up.

Then I'm sorry, it's in them. They shouldn't have believed whoever told them that words are violence and that other people control their emotions. You cannot censor the world. You must learn to have an internal locus of control. Google it.

Wait, I thought about it. Are you claiming the violent hyperbole above was meant as a joke? There isn't a whiff of irony or anything. It's just an angry rant. Goddamn, can no one be intellectually honest?

I didn't get your joke. Humor is subjective. I guess I'm stupid. Or humor is subjective.
