Meanwhile… 072
Meanwhile… 072
This came about after I made a comment on another artist’s social media page. It was in response to a comment thread about a barrage of messages they’d received from someone who was rallying against gender identity and the right of people to choose the gender that suits them.
Anyways, after there was a comment that the bigoted and overly religious messages were an absolute word-salad of misguided notions, the artist wondered if they’d made any more salad to message them with. My response was “salad dressing if it's a girl-salad, salad pants if a boy, because Bible”.
And so… this. Salad Pants, in lieu of Salad Dressing.
This comic’s intended to highlight just how nonsensical and intrusive the argument is of those who’d deny others their own right to embrace and identity and gender that feels best for them.
It’s none of their fucking business, because it doesn’t hurt anybody. Their bigotry does, however, hurt many.
If you can’t support the right of others to be who they want to be - happily and freely - you need to question why you’d deny them such a simple courtesy and show of respect. Especially if that person you’d grind down with hate is your own child.
If designating your child’s gender or their name against what they’d prefer is essential to them having your approval, then you should really let them be who they want and just buy a fucking boat so you can gender-name it to your heart’s content.
Long rant short… Pronouns matter. Choice of gender matters. Get used to it.
Please.
