So it's a consistent damn thing

that if you try to bring up kids being harrassed and assaulted for not conforming to gender standards that it has to immediately get turned into horrible stories about how straight gender conforming kids get bullied too? And to bitch about how the schools look the other way about bullying rather than about how society is now training 6 yr olds to police other people's gender presentation with violence?

Because I thought I was pretty clear what I was trying to bring up, but everyone on facebook decided I wanted to talk about responses from schools about general bullying. And I've been made of anxiety since like thursday? at least? So I'm unreasonably pissed off at the derail here, maybe.

And it's like, all they saw was the school being half ass about bullying, because that's the part they could relate to their lives, not the part that was a sign of how busted the culture is.

Yep. Because if it's not About Them, it doesn't matter.
