You all may laugh at me for my post claiming that transgenders/nonbinary/etc are just the 2010s equivalent of hippies. Then you scoff at my misunderstanding of history when I use the phrase “hippie counterculture of the 1960s”. without even taking time to point out the historical ignorance, so that you can remain smug and intellectually superior while you laugh at me. You would rather let ignorance persist so you can sit back and laugh at it, rather than fight the ignorance, which is very boring compared to laughing at it. Well, jokes on you, I have no ego to be harmed. Nothing matters.

I wrote that post because my parents dislike LGBT and I dont want them to scoff at me the same way they scoff at nonbinary kids

Since the OP begins with the word ‘I’, it’s pretty hard to believe they don’t have an ego.

Just sayin’!

That is a shame.  
My ego is massive enough to bend light, which makes me look much heavier to others than I see myself.
