Look, I’m not a fucking broker or a hustler, okay? I don’t care that you keep running around telling me or others to go waste our time and money to put into markets that can be incredibly unpredictable. It is all about luck, chance and risk. Things most wouldn’t want to put themselves on the line over even if they were down next to nothing. They’d rather buy lottery tickets.

    Trans stuff. Before you get the torches and pitchforks, I have no problem with them. I believe they deserve equality, and I don’t believe in spreading hate their way. I’m not Trans, so I don’t have a horse in this race, nor do I desire one. It doesn’t appeal to me, it doesn’t interest me in the slightest. I have my own concerns (keeping my house, paying my bills, keeping my family safe) and they have theirs, I guess is what I’m saying. If I see a Trans person get mistreated, I’ll stick up for them, just like I’d do for anyone, but I’m not interested in it. They are no different from me, we are all people. I think constantly bringing it up to people all the time is more of a disservice.

      I think the silent majority feels like this.

      “Eh, not my cup of tea, but you do you”

      I think constantly bringing it up to people all the time is more of a disservice.

      The trans community is tiny, I’m an almost 50 year old trans woman transitioned over 20 years ago. The reason we have the rights we do is because it’s “brought up all the time”. When I transitioned, it was rarely brought up, this was because most people were scared of the social and economic consequences of doing so. This is all changing because we talk about it rather than be quiet and let people keep us down. I’d imagine even you might have more negative views of trans people if the only exposure you had was from talk shows promoting us as freaks, this is how it was before.

      Other than that, your attitude is fine, not everyone needs to be interested.

        You are more than welcome to think I “might have more negative views of Trans people”. You’re wrong, but it is what it is.
