Red flag

Read the comments section of any YouTube video dealing with any controversial cultural topic, and you will see it liberally peppered with toxicity. Imagine going out of your way to say something nasty about someone you have never met but feel it is your duty to pronounce yourself on their existence. That a certain faction of society is insecure, nasty and brain-dead is beyond question.

A fellow transgender person I had been following for a while, took her channel down largely because she had been traumatized by the onslaught of hate she had received. She is back now and continuing her transition with the full support of her family (including her wife). We have never met but she comes off as sweet and almost innocent for her age.

You need rawhide skin to live openly these days which is why I preach to work on the internals much more than on rejoicing on what you wear. I have fashioned a dependable nasty streak which people don't want to test because my fatigue with the perennially stupid of this world finally obliged me to.

No one has a right to attack anyone without justification but of course putting yourself out there on social media is like an invitation red flag to the bull and count on it when I say we will never ever run out of idiots.
