PSA about offensive language to the individual by buffskeith01

I have noticed that a lot of people in the trans community (This is not a bashing journal) are offended by certain terms that I will not say on here. Now I know where you are coming from but one journal stood out to me. It was going on the right track and I was rooting for them but then when they commented on someones different views they said this phrase. "I'd appreciate it if you unfollowed me. I've got no more time for gay men telling me to be quiet because they know trans people who let you degender them". the paragraph that they said before was amazingly well written. But then they said that. I found that more offensive than what they thought. (my opinion not yours) The thing im trying to get across is that when making a journal about this subject, do not use any words that others would find offensive. Even if your using it as a term. People will find it that way. I say again, This is not to bash. Its merely to educate the community on what to do and not do so you do not sound conceded when discussing said matters to the public.

    Sounds like they had issues.
    When I rant about things, i try to be positive about it, but targeting a group (despite the intentions), can result in butt-hurt people.
    This is the kind of thing tumblr just loves to cause, and this person who posted that had no qualms for saying that sentence (because there was going to be backlash)

    WOW, Talk about having serious issues gosh. I hope they're prepared for the possible backlash that comment may get them.
