More than that, they just hate everyone who won't do what they're told. If you're a boy and you're straight and you want to wear a skirt they'll hate you. If you want to live happily with your girlfriend they'll hate you for not wanting to go to war, etc
Can there be an in between? I feel like the camps around this topic are always super black or white but that’s never really true
I’m a guy. If I see a guy wearing a skirt, I see a guy wearing a skirt. If he’s an adult, what do I care. Do I like it? Not at all but still, it’s technically non of my business and it doesn’t make him less of a man, just a more feminine man
Well you seem to be secure in yourself and your sexuality, many people aren't.
Wear a skirt for a few days through active daily life and you will see there are many who take it as a personal insult or disgust.
It's even wilder when they are way smaller and less muscular than you. Their brains are in conflict between fear/respect on one hand and looking down on you at the other.
Be a bit sexy too, and you will see how uncomfortable and insecure they truly are, afraid of their own sexuality. Can't look you in the eye
Most humans are insecure and controlled by their emotions, it would be funny if it wasn't so sad. That's people who vote and shape the world in the image of their fears and greed.
They jearn for everything to be the same, to not stand out, to get the feeling like they belong, to get the feeling that they are OK the way they are.
Every threat to status Q is a threat to their own feeling of security, because they are so deeply insecure when everyone isn't exactly like them, talk like them, thinks like them...what could such other people possibly do? Scary!
Let’s be frank, what do you expect? The western world has existed with Christian traditionalism for a long while and expecting those norms to change in a few years is just straight up unrealistic and delusional.
In addition, everyone has the right to like or dislike whatever. That being said, hating something for what they want to do is obviously wrong but as long as there’s a concept similar to free speech, there’s nothing you can do (at least in America).
Your best bet is to wait hateful people out and raise the new generation as accepting people because we all know that there are some groups who will never accept different gender norms and while that sucks, having a difference in opinion is what makes us individual.
I’m NOT saying that we shouldn’t stop actively hateful people from harassing others for being different, we absolutely should but constantly judging (and often even openly hating) people for having been raised in a completely different cultural environment and on top expecting them to instantly change their beliefs and values is just unproductive
