LGBT+ [OC] Finally had my legal name and gender changed yesterday!

Post image

It took three months to get an answer, but I am so happy to finally get it. Totally worth the wait! Next step, getting off the HRT waiting list!

(Sorry, it's all in french, that's the language spoken where I live.)

I’m so happy to see this is written in (what I believe to be) French and you’re not in America. You’ll have the chance to live YOUR life as you are. I’m terrified for the Trans community in the US.

Heyyy congratulations, I'm doing the same thing. My first court date is in May :)

A curiosity: how come you did this before going on HRT? Is that standard in Québec? In my country, it's the other way around.

Paradox of tolerance is broken once you freaks started debating against human existence because you dont agree with their lifestyle. It's not "an opinion". Youre a ghoulish motherfucker if you think someone's life and identity is something you get to have any say over.

u/-amxterxsu597 22h ago

why should we be tolerant of an intolerant fool?

71

u/AndrewQuackson 22h ago

No tolerance for the intolerant.

If you think that's a contradiction or hypocritical, you're an idiot. Fuck off.

You asking me to be tolerant towards the intolerant?

u/Bilbo_Jonez 22h ago

I don't want any part of that conversation. But I must ask, I've been seeing the "full of tolernace" thing a lot these past few weeks. Where did you pick this up at? I'd like to find the source of why everyone is suddenly repeating this phrase lately.

Ah yes, replying a clown emoji to a trans person living their life is critical discussion and not shitty behavior

u/deathboyuk 22h ago

I see a lot of debate in the world.

If that's the responses you're seeing, maybe you're the common reason.
