as tomorrow is Trans Day of Remembrance here's a cool guide on being an ally

I'll be honest, I love everybody in this world. I'm very easy going. I'm very polite. I don't care what you want me to call you. I don't care who you love. For the most part I don't care at all what anyone does.

But I swear to christ. If I have to hear one more God damn time how privileged I am and how I should spend the rest of my fucking life feeling like shit about it I am going to lose my damn mind.

You can have all my support and all my love but I just cannot feel shitty about some spooky system that apparently exists where I get all the things that no one else does. All these rights groups overplay their hand all the damn time about how perfect it is being a cisgender white person. It's not. We all have our problems. Offer me ways to change whatever flaw in the system exists and I will but you keep telling me how I need to check my privilege every second of every fucking day. Where was my privilege when I was so broke I couldn't afford to eat? Where was my privilege when I got jumped by gangs as a kid? Where was my privilege when I couldn't go to college because I didn't qualify?

I've heard too much about this. Much love and all that but if you really think my life is sunshine and roses - let alone so much so that I need to feel guilty about everything in it- you're out of your mind and you can kindly screw off.
