This seems to be a repeating pattern everywhere around Europe.

Conservatives fuck up the economy and society in general, leftists get elected and try to fix things but face resistance from conservatives, conservatives blame leftists for everything they fucked up themselves, even more extreme conservatives get voted in because people are morons and conveniently forget who it was who was responsible for the problems that conservatives claim are all the left’s fault. Rinse and repeat.

Yeah I’m in my 40’s, nonbinary but AMAB, but I didn’t really understand it until relatively recently. I’ve always known I didn’t fit into the male “mould”, but nobody knew what the fuck “nonbinary” was in the 80’s (let alone here in Finland, which is still really conservative compared to the saner Nordics) so naturally I just got beat up for being “gay” even though I was never attracted to boys or men. I even dressed in gender-conforming ways but I was never a “real” man for many boys and men, which naturally meant that they had to correct me with violence.

The conservative pieces of shit who insist that all these “new genders” and sexual orientations are just a recent invention and in the good old days men were men and women were women are the same ones who were beating us up and even killing us just a few decades ago (not that they’ve stopped doing that…)

I didn’t just suddenly decide to become an enby; I’ve always been one, but I didn’t even have the words for any of this until this stuff became more mainstream. And then they have the gall to act like this is all a choice, like I’d fucking choose to be something that means bigots will literally want to murder me for it. When I thought I was a man they insisted I wasn’t a real man, and after I went “yeah you’re right, I’m not a man” they insist I’m a man. Can’t fucking win with them, can we?

It’s wild that modern day American conservatives are suddenly really OK with their Dear Leader buddying up to North Korea, and also downright fans of Russia.

Not surprising at all, but still.
