They weren’t meant to be offensive- in fact, that was my nice way of putting things. But sure, whatever you feel. You know, I’m not sure if /you/ are capable of seeing the irony in what you’re saying, but I hope you know the rest of campus can. You’re talking about not adding fuel to fires, not provoking people, but, uh, that’s just about all you and your brothers do? Funnily enough, not so much Beau but, I digress. My point being, your brother, the same brother you’re so hot-to-trot to defend and tell everyone to back off of, was on this very dash just last night stoking fires and provoking people. If he doesn’t have to stop, why should we? What was said was disgusting, and people are allowed to be offended. I find the education portion of your outcry interesting as well, considering this is something all of us have been learning about since, I don’t know, birth? Since being trans is so normalized in our society, shouldn’t education have happened long ago? Just asking questions here, bud. Furthermore, no one is taking up pitchforks and yelling “burn the beast”. Take a chill pill. Seems to me you’re both real good at hiding behind that last name of yours. If you can’t take it, don’t dish it. Simple as that. And meanwhile, while you’re out here defending him…I still don’t see remorse. I still don’t see an apology. All I see is you, trailing behind, working to clean up a mess that never should have been made in the first place. Hate to break it to you, but I /think/ this one might be a little out of your control. Give your family a chance to address things, huh? I could make some stellar commentary on that but, as I said, I always do the smart thing so, we’ll keep that out of it.

I meant that in general, as a whole. Directed primarily at Sebastian but, given some of the utter bullshit I’ve seen the majority of you coming up with to splatter on the dash, and in your messages, I’ll go ahead and expand my target audience to include all of you. Oh, and wasn’t that just a beautiful speech? I’m sure that’ll move someone, somewhere. That person ain’t me, though. Go ahead. Don’t give a shit what people think of you. Newsflash Smythe- no one cares. You aren’t special. There’s a million more “rebels” out there, all screaming the same rhetoric, all fighting for the same cause. Once again, what you’re misunderstanding here is that whats good for the goose is good for the gander. You and yours don’t get a free pass to act and speak however you’d like, then have the gall to tell people not to react and do the same. You’re in the hole you created. Deal with it.

My god.  All right, I’m going to say this again. I never said you couldn’t have an opinion or be offended. Because hey, I literally said that in my opening paragraph of the last message I sent you.  I’m not defending what Sebastian said, I’m simply not putting the emotional labour on Aaron to correct what was offensive and explain why it was wrong. Trans and gender-diverse people shouldn’t have to be the people who god damn educate people of the world.   And intent is important, you dick. You can say something transphobic without the intent of it being such a thing.  You’re right, the mess should have never been made in the first place but now that it has, giving someone  a chance to fix their mistakes and learn to be better is something you should, you know, hey, give someone a chance to do.  Not that I have to explain it to you but an  apology is happening because hey, you know, that’s how those things work. 

Whatever. I don’t have time for this high and mighty BS .  I’m not defending what my brother said, or how he made Aaron feel. 

I’m just not making him feel piled on by. 

Again, you dick. You can react, you can feel offended and outraged. Do whatever the hell you want.  

I always do the smart thing, thanks for your concern though. I don’t cause drama, but I sure as hell will comment if I see some wrong ass shit going down. You claim it’s being handled but…I don’t know. That’s a hard thing to trust, my friend, especially since there have been so many…We’ll say ‘questionable’ antics coming from a family so known for being so well put together. For now, I’ll go ahead and exercise my right to speak my mind. A word to the wise, pal- if you want people to speak and think better of you and your family, maybe you should act better. It’s a tough lesson to learn, but one that is obviously needed here.

…Well that’s just an offensive use those air quotes. You can have an opinion, I’m just saying don’t add more fuel to the fire.  And it’s being handled  in a way that involves more education,rather then straight out villainizing. What my brother said was wrong and terrible but explaining why and trying to help him be better is better than getting the pitchforks out, yelling at him that he’s some sort of monster straight up. Whatever your apparently opinion of my family is, I’m just asking that you give a chance for us to address such things  and not make this situation any more tense. 

As for thinking better of me. 

I’m a gender-fluid artist who submits for Dominants and submissives. I think I’m well past caring about what people might think of me. I know my values and my intentions, and that what matters. I’m long past caring what you might think of me.
