If people don't want a negative label attached to them like racist or transphobic then why dont they not say a bigoted comment to begin with?

I am so sick of dealing with the type of person that always says "everything is bigoted and racist and racist lost meaning", no you say something bigoted and racist and transphobic everyday and got mad that the people you are disparaging refuses to put up with your discriminatory attitude and behavior and now you the bigot have to announce to the whole world that you are somehow a victim. How snout you show respect first and not say anything transphobic or bigoted and no one would call you a bigot. Learn to keep your mouth shut and respect others and we won't call you any negative label you don't want.

Because, like white supremacists, racists and transphobes have a false idea of what "their rights" are.

Or perhaps it's accurate to say they are unfamiliar with consequences.

Systemic racism and societal heteronormativity has made many people think that racism and heteronormativity are "how things always were". They're right to a degree - and because they're human, they will find change hard.

It's also probably due to the fact that people with these hateful ideals are affected, mentally, by their beliefs. Studies have been done that show white supremacists, racists, and homophobes are literally dumber and less empathetic than the average human.

But really, most people hate accountability and change. They don't want to make life better for others, they have a false "zero sum game" approach to life. They think if a BIPOC queer has a good life, it's at the cost of their enjoyment. It isn't, but they think it is.

I get tired of those people too, because by trying to avoid the labels they're giving those words power.

Call me any of those, I'll just laugh at you for thinking that I give a shit.
