    TERFs are fucked up. Not an excuse, but as an explanation, they likely think that trans women are reaping the benefits and aesthetics of womanhood without having to suffer through growing up as a girl. They completely dismiss the struggles that trans people grow up with and the fact that trans women also face misogyny.

    They are miserable people because misery is how they define their gender identity.

    Every day I wake up and am reminded of the fact biggotry exists, something shorts out in my brain… Like, I just can’t comprehend how anyone - much less a large group of organized people like the GOP - can possibly care so much about people’s choices that could have zero impact on them.

    They must just want to be angry. They want to play victims while they punish others, ironically creating actual victims. These types of people are so fucking sick and depraved, whether they acknowledge it, or not.

    Maybe if they had real problems, they’d develop a minutiae of empathy.

    Until then, these same people call all of us normal people mentally unstable… Because we care, and we are willing to fight their sociopathy with integrity and honesty.

      One of the reasons the GOP is so invested in bigotry, is because it’s useful to their goals. They need a boogeyman. Not only does it act as a distraction as they steal from their base, it also acts as a justification for why they need so much power: to protect you from the boogeyman. They choose minorities because those groups have less power to fight back.

      Capitalism.

      The person is complaining about transgender people existing, while ignoring that someone has a cake that is several orders of magnitude bigger than theirs.

        I think it is about patriarchy, rather than capitalism - the man has the most, the woman has significantly less, and trans woman has the least.

        This represents the respective privileges and power each group has in a patriarchal and transphobic society.

        Under capitalism the power differences are between the owning class and the working class, which isn’t really highlighted in the comic.

          Yeah, I thought it was about capitalism as well, probably because of how the English language likes to use cake as a metaphor for money, until I noticed the colors of the cakes and the gender presentations of the characters.
