Jesus FUCKING Christ. My parents came over. After an hour, my dad announces HE LOST HIS SENSE OF TASTE THREE FUCKING DAYS AGO. AND I HAVE UNVACCINATED KIDS IN THE HOUSE. Because he only watches FOX PROPAGANDA, he forgot that’s a symptom.

I confronted him about forgetting that was a symptom because he only watches pro-COVID propaganda. He lamely replied “there are democrats who haven’t gotten vaccinated!” And mi mom added “we think CNN is propaganda!” 🙄 Fox News is a cancer on the nation.

Every recorded civilization has had cis people. They aren’t oddities. To be a good ally, don’t say these things to cis people: - what’s it like not thinking about gender all the time? - so, you haven’t had “the surgery”? - how did you know you weren’t trans?
