I just want to hug you so hard right now. I feel the same way and I advocate and "mommy" these people, these ignorant, selfish, intolerant people that think it's acceptable to trigger and upset others because they don't buy into the "politically correct bullshit".
I get laughed at, mocked, condemned for speaking up, speaking out, and somehow I am in the wrong for defending those that ate too afraid to. It angers me, makes me disheartened and sad for humanity as a whole. It scares me, terrorizes my dreams thinking that my children will be living in a society full of bigots, bullies, hatemongers and just generally horrible people.
It's ridiculous that I should worry that my children might be bullied, might be made to feel worthless and overwhelmed by sadness because someone just cannot keep their fucking thoughts to themselves and wants to hurt someone just because they can. I don't know how to make a change in the world, but I want to try. If even one person will agree with me and stop hating and bullying, I made a difference.
Just know that your friends are listening, they care. They will stand by you and they will try to help make a change too. Even if it was just you, even of no one said it, I'm sure you made someone think, made them realize this is not ok.
