Since there are some folks on this site who for reasons unknown cannot take some dark humor well and in the process jump to conclusions and start in with the fingerpointing, I'm reposting the image below. Sarcastic/cruel/and or dark humor is hardly exclusive to conservatives, and if fairness is the aim here I'd venture to say that both progressives and conservatives are equally venomous when it comes to political views, and personally speaking I've no qualms in cracking jokes about or laughing at both political extremes, because both extremes have a tendency to push absurd concepts.

By the way, the image below was not meant to take a jab directly at the trans community, but rather the gender fluid business (including heterosexuals) as a whole. Anyone with even a shred of common sense in their brains could realize that anyone claiming to identify as invisible for their gender now is an absurd claim to make that could not be backed-up with evidence, and no one who makes such claims (which would be easy to debunk) should be taken seriously by the rest of us. If anything, the meme below took a rather clever route to countering some absurd gender identity claims, pointing out what should be the obvious, and had nothing to do with countering transphobia.

To those of you out there who enjoy pointing the finger at others over such topics, I have a question for you, do you even know the definition of the word "phobic"? The dictionary definition of phobic is having an intolerance or a strong dislike towards someone or something, in short. That said, just because someone disagrees with or criticizes or questions the motives of another individual does not automatically mean the person offering up the criticisms hates or is intolerant, it could just be an honest conclusion based on a realistic understanding of things. For example... if someone offers up a sharp criticism of former President Trump, would it be fair to automatically conclude that individual is Trumpphobic? Maybe they really are, then again maybe not and only offering up what they believe is an honest observation, and the point is you shouldn't be quick to label another as phobic based on what your emotions may dictate to you at the moment.

Another example. I was recently debating a guy who identifies as "pro life" when it comes to the abortion debate, and after I asked him some questions in which the answers he gave contradicted his supposed pro life stance, he became angry with me and accused me of being "christophobic". So, am I really phobic of the sorts for simply pointing out the reality of the situation to him, or was it merely an honest observation that he just didn't like or agree with? The latter for sure, but try telling that to someone who suffers an emotional meltdown over the slightest provocation, people like that cannot be reasoned with. Such incidents are easily observable from both political extremes, and not exclusive to one or the other. Can't say I take the pro life movement seriously, not because I'm phobic of their cause or that all too many of them tend to act in an emotionally retarded manner, I simply have yet to come across any solid evidence in which for me to take their claims seriously. Same is true with the gender identity craze, some of us don't buy into all that nonsense, and question certain claims made by said movement not because we're phobic but rather because we realize there's a potential conflict of interest between wishful human thinking and reality, and we have reason to believe reality itself is being sidestepped in favor of personal agendas.

Bottom line is, this crap where some are quick to label another as (trans) phobic based simply upon disagreeing with the opposing point of view needs to stop, it's of a childish albeit spoiled mentality and it's doing nothing to advance our society. The ironic part there is, most of those crying phobic are some of the most venomous and hateful individuals out there, and literally enjoy dehumanizing anyone else who does not share in their own political or social views.

To those out there who act like that towards others, to those who are easily offended by another's opinions and dark humor, take this advice... and lighten the fuck up. Life's too short for us to be quibbling over such ridiculous concepts. Next time you're tempted to waste your energy on complaining about what another individual posts/shares, use that energy on something more constructive and beneficial, and maybe even go looking for others in your vicinity who are in need of help or could use someone to talk to. That proverbial fight fire with fire mode of thinking is doing nothing to advance society, and only proves the individual doing the complaining is in reality no more morally superior than those they are complaining about.

Just an independent skeptic's take on the matter, and I'm tired of being silent when confronted with such blatant hypocrisy.
