Oh, come on—we know this "objectively progressive" workplace is definitely the place for that, but only if you subscribe to a specific set of progressive beliefs. The people who keep quiet are keeping their heads down because they want to keep the peace, and their jobs.
And how, pray tell, did the tranny coworker find out that she's a "vehement transphobe," and voted for Trump? Because apparently that is not something she talks about, or acts upon, at work. I mean, she's still there, working at that "objectively progressive" workplace, and getting along well with co-workers.
So there's a good chance the tattletale troon is outright lying, and other queer people at work only know she's a TERF and a Trump voter because the troon told them so, as a means of sabotaging her.
Or maybe he social media-stalked her, found something that didn't accord perfectly with genderwoo, and has blown it up into her being a TERF and a Trump voter.
Or, shit, maybe everything the troon said is true—but he didn't find out about it directly from her, at work, because in a hyperprogressive company like that, she'd either be out of a job, or she wouldn't be friendly and joking with anybody.
Your coworker is, apparently, a functional, emotionally mature adult, who understands how to get along with others. Unlike you.
And if she hadn't talked to you, and you hadn't had a chance to like her, you'd be snivelling about how she gave you the cold shoulder for being trans.
"Personally, I prefer to try to be nice to everyone—"
AND SO DOES SHE. And apparently, she does a really good job of it, because she's said and done nothing whatsoever to set you off. You only see her as the enemy because somebody else told you to.
You know who you should be mad at? The shit-disturbing tranny who gossiped to you about a female co-worker (likely out of envy), and thus disrupted a perfectly pleasant and workable relationship between co-workers. Why would he do that? That is toxic behavior. And you have no idea what she actually thinks, only this troon's word for it.
You don't know a goddamned thing, because you haven't asked her what she thinks, and heard it from her directly. Somebody in your cult has told you what to believe about her, and you assume it's true. For all you know, it's a lie, but you won't even try to find out.
I wouldn't want your friendship either, if you're this weak-minded, and such a crybaby.
I'm an old cat lady who lives in an extremely blue area, and one thing about liberals/progressives in a place like this is that they assume you are one of them unless you inform them, by whatever means, that you're not. If they like you, and see you acting in a kind and benevolent fashion toward approved targets (such as animals), you automatically must be one of them. They never stop to consider that you might not be.
So they're always shocked to the core when a person they like, who they see as good and moral and thus one of them, turns out to be a TERF, or a Trump voter, or anti-masking/lockdown/jab. This pooner's reaction to hearing that her friendly co-worker, who she liked, is a "transphobe" and Trump voter, and her roiling mess of mixed emotions about it? This is what afflicts every lefty when confronted with the fact that someone they really like, and who has been nothing but decent, holds the "wrong" beliefs.
So as long as I don't slip up and tell them what I really think, lefties will continue to assume I'm one of them. They'll even mentally skim over a minor faux pas now and again, with no problem—until they know the truth, and then they'll be like this girl and say, "Oh wow, there were so many red flags!"
They don't know what to do with good people who turn out not to be part of their tribe, except decide that they're really just bad people, despite all prior evidence to the contrary. And they'll perform all kinds of insane mental gymnastics, and engage in crazy denial of their previous feelings in order to do it.
Anyway, as for the troon who claims to have been assaulted by some crazy rando at a bus stop, there was an assault in the area he was in on April 14, according to the Halifax crime map,. Also, in the Halifax subreddit he got a lot of sympathetic responses, including somebody who drove past the scene after it had happened and saw the cops and an ambulance. So he's not lying (at least not about anything but being a woman).
