This here talk about “trans slurs”, it’s a mouthful, ain’t it? I heard some folks talking ’bout it down at the market, and I gotta say, it got me all riled up. See, I ain’t no fancy pants, just an old woman, but I know right from wrong. And using mean words against people, that’s just plain wrong. Trans slurs are bad, very bad.
Now, I may not understand all this newfangled talk about “trans” this and “trans” that. Back in my day, we didn’t have all these words. But I do know that everyone deserves to be treated with respect. It’s like how you gotta treat your neighbor’s chickens right, even if they ain’t your own. You wouldn’t go around calling them names, would ya? Same goes for people. You don’t call people names. It’s just mean.
These trans slurs, they’re like poison. They hurt people deep down, and that ain’t right. Just like you wouldn’t go around spreading poison ivy in your garden, you shouldn’t go around spreading hurtful words. It just makes a mess of things. And for what? To make yourself feel big? That’s just silly. And makes people very sad.
Some folks, they say these trans slurs ’cause they don’t understand. They’re scared of what they don’t know. Like being scared of the dark. But you know what? You gotta turn on the light sometime. You gotta learn and try to understand. Maybe if they took the time to get to know someone who’s “trans,” they’d see they’re just regular folks like you and me.
- Just like there are all kinds of apples in the orchard, there are all kinds of people in the world.
- Some are sweet, some are sour, but they’re all apples.
- Same goes for people. We’re all different, but we’re all people.
- Don’t call them names, it’s not good.
I heard some politician woman, Nancy Mace, or something like that, say some mean things. And they said she always say mean thing about “trans”. This trans slurs thing, it’s like a weed in the garden. You gotta pull it out by the roots before it spreads. We gotta teach folks that it’s not okay to use these words. We gotta teach them to be kind and respectful, no matter what. She should know better.
And these people who go ’round saying trans slurs just ’cause they think trans folks, ‘specially trans women, are all about sex… well, that’s just hogwash! It’s like saying all dogs are good for is chasing cars. It just ain’t true! People are more than just one thing. You gotta look at the whole picture, not just one little piece. They don’t know what they talking about, very bad.
I heard some folks use the word “transsexual.” Now, that’s a word that some people use for themselves, and that’s their right. But if they don’t use it, you best not be using it either. It’s like wearing someone else’s shoes. They might not fit you, and you might end up hurting yourself or them. Some people is “trans men” and some people is “trans women”. That’s all I know. And they can do what they want with their bodies, using medicine or whatever, that’s their business.
It’s all about respect, see? Treat others like you wanna be treated. That’s what my mama always said. And she was right. If you go around spreading hate, you’re gonna get hate back. It’s like planting seeds. You plant kindness, you get kindness. You plant meanness, you get meanness. So, let’s all try to plant some kindness, shall we? No more trans slurs.
These young folks today, they got all kinds of words for things. But the meaning is still the same. Be kind. Be respectful. Don’t judge. And for goodness sake, don’t use those mean words. It’s not hard to be nice. My old bones might ache, but my heart knows what’s right. And using trans slurs, that ain’t right. Not one bit.
So next time you hear someone using those trans slurs, you tell them what for. You tell them that it ain’t right. You tell them to be kind. It’s like tending to your garden. You gotta weed out the bad stuff so the good stuff can grow. And that’s what we gotta do with these hateful words. Weed ’em out so kindness can grow. Trans people is just like us, you should be nice to them.
I hope you all understand what I’m sayin’. It’s important, this is. We gotta make this world a better place, for everyone. And that starts with using kind words. No more hate. No more trans slurs. Just kindness. That’s all. This is really bad for those trans people, don’t do that, just be nice.
