I just realised I must have forgotten to unfriend Lys, after I saw him sharing a picture with the hastag #FreeTommy.
you guys know me, I'm probably too forgiving of people who ought to know better
I finally unfriended him after an episode on FB where someone was talking about transphobia and he went out of his way to "trigger" my trans friend. And then when she got upset he mocked her about it.
and I had a bigass private conversation with him, really spent 2 hours trying to talk to him about why intentionally being a dick to trans people is not part of the Good Signal he thinks he's supporting.
Cause I mean that's the weird thing... that a lot of these provacatory troll types really do think they're helping the world in some way -- I can really relate to that due to the time I spent being a dick to people in the name of Eris, so I feel like I have a responsibility to help ease people out of that space.
In the end, he apologized for hurting my friend's feelings, but said that he would probably do it again if given the opportunity.
sigh---goodbye asshole, I wish I could say it was fun knowing you.
