We’re not small business owners, ffs - we’re independent contractors, and we are routinely robbed by the world’s dumbest dingbats.

whenever a cis person so much as looks at or thinks about a trans person with the slightest hint of malice or mockery they earn five agonizing eternities in hell. a lot of the middle aged liberals on here aren't equipped to comprehend a single eternity, let alone the thousands they've accrued
