100% agree. I feel like a cantankerous old bint, but the emotional fragility and narcissism of millennials and below just drives me up the wall. Like, I'm glad not to be living in the days of the Mongol horde, European religious wars or Jim Crow, and I'm pretty happy that social norms have changed sufficiently that being racist or sexist is generally less socially acceptable, but don't treat hurt feelings like they're actual, life-or-death, existential threats to you. There's just absolutely no emotional resilience there half the time, at all. I'm a firm believer in being emotionally intelligent and self-aware - but that's
not what this is, it's just extending the solipsistic pubescent thought process well into adulthood, and I can't attribute all of it to the obvious rampant autism among trannies. It's a pattern in the generation as a whole.
Even the constant refrain of different iterations of "I'm offended!" - as if that is automatically supposed to stop whoever is speaking in their tracks, aghast at the thought that they may have wounded your precious ego. So fucking what? Go be offended somewhere, then. Maybe I'm offended that you're offended by me, is this what we call a Histrionic Mexican Standoff?? It's all so manipulative, but in an incredibly clumsy, transparent way like a teenager. I like to think I'm a bit of a softie IRL, but the suicide-baiting from the likes of Laurie just makes me think, "do a fucking flip" with a face straighter than a landing strip. It's like whichever personality disorder she has just saps all of the empathy out of you like a vacuum.
Also, JK is hilarious and perfect and I love her. All hail the queen of TERF island
