    In the same way that being trans is not a choice but comes with the human experience of being that person and living in that body, being of a certain age is also just not a choice. Getting randomly bitchslapped for it as I skim through comments is unpleasant, which was clearly your intent.

    I’d expect someone who knows what it is to be othered as a matter of rote to also refrain from using othering terms, rather than selfishly offloading the same exact casually offensive shit unnecessarily onto those they in turn consider to be easy targets.

    Guess I expected wrong.

      Writing a guilt trip to compare “ok boomer” to the vitriol and hate that trans people experience is some big boomer energy.

        shitting on someone else just for being unlike you and having different standards for yourself

        Isn’t that exactly what you yourself are doing?

        And aren’t you lying about it now, as you insist on trying to imply that “boomer” – your term – is not an explicit age-related insult?
