    This shirt is tough. I think the trans flag colors are dope. I don’t get how Republicans are obsessed with making their lives harder despite not even coming in contact with trans people often and their population numbers. I saw a video of a lady asking a GOP rep what trans athletes in his district have won anything? He couldn’t name one. Just pure hate and bigotry driving these people.

      Because it is largely a manufactured problem. And not having it actually in your life makes it so much better for manufacturing purposes. You can dial up to 11 all the fears of unknown, misconceptions and what not that drive people politically where you want them, while you have no real world to push back on your nonsense.

      Yes the people that get duped do bear a bit of the burden due to not doing proper research on their own. But the vast majority of the burden is on the people that push this through. And unfortunately they are pretty damn good at their jobs.

      Us old folks can’t do anything about being cringe most of the time, but we can be supportive and protective of our kids. I think you’d agree that that’s the bigger win here, so good job fellow parent.

        Having principles you stuck to that are helpful to the world is never cringe, it’s a display of feeling of inferiority when someone critiques you for having a virtue. They feel that their comfortable bed of lies is threatened when someone shows that it’s not societaly acceptable to be a dick, while they lived their lives accepting that they may sometimes be allowed certain priviledges if they conform to the “norm”. I hope one day we get the world to the place where virtues are rightly celebrated instead of being called cringe.

        The secret is to embrace having an impaired give a shit. Be excellent to your people, and be excellent to strangers. Stop being excellent when they reneg on the dues for our common social contract, but don’t let them stop you.

        I’m sorry but you can’t be both cringe and named NielsBohron :p

        More seriously you (and your OP) sound like the kind of parent a lot of us wished we had c:

      It is cringe because we are old and they are young but it’s wholesome! I love it!

      I fully support trans and queer people.

      But I think any t-shirts with this kind of language is cringe as fuck. It just makes me think of maga morons and their stupid gun slogans.

      It’s like a billboard for “I’m a douche, steer clear”

      Anyway, just my two cents people can do as they please.

    The guy who held that sign that ended up on the internet ought to get a cut of these sales. It’s a great fucking slogan.

    This will now be my automatic vebal or written reply from now on. Perhaps time to have a t-shirt printed for the next Pride event.
