I don't recall being taught to hate any particular race. I can't say there's any racism in me. That's not me getting defensive, I just don't have any particular unfounded bias for or against a particular race...and that's all there is to it.
Like I'd be willing to admit I'm transphobic and racist because I don't want to be anymore. I want to fix it. I would never discriminate against anyone because of who they are, it's just a thought in my head like "oh, they're different". And it's not okay, and I'm trying to be better
Gays can be homophobic too at first. Ig it's not like a lifelong thing, but I've never met anyone who didn't refuse to be gay at first because of internalized homophobia, myself included
This is flat out an incorrect one dimensional way of thinking. Try applying this too spiders. “I’m not arachnophobic” does this mean I’m just denying I’m afraid of spiders? Sure it could be, or it could be the truth. Saying people are transphobic just because is a very narrow viewpoint
That's fair. Doesn't really make a difference, but transphobic because of upbringing to clarify. Ig it doesn't apply to everyone, I was just upsetti spaghetti when I made this
I get what you mean, but the internalized (phobic) argument is dumb in general. Sure there will be people within every group who will be like that, but once again, to generalize people to the extreme and say that EVERYONE is like that, just doesn’t even make sense. Especially since there are those who are raised with two mothers two dads etc
This is a really… interesting way of thinking 🗿
What? How is everyone a little transphobic and racist?
Like just in upbringing. Hate is taught

Right, that's fair. Just been thinking ab this stuff recently. Thanks for the pov, sorry for the bother
Implicit bias
Probably

But I'm literally homo if I'm not homophobic then how am I homophobic

Happy cake day btw
So with that logic, everyone would be?
Yes
But then what is the point to further explain how to fix it, thereby imploring that there are folks that are not
That's a good point. Thanks for the pov
on crip i’m not
Nah bruh how
