Pearls Before Swine Quotes

“When I die, there will be people who will misgender me out of spite, hatred and anger because they hate what I am and what I represent. There are those who will dead-name me (if they ever knew my old name), because they feel it will undo any of the things I have done to become the person I am today, or to try to hurt me in some way, since they haven't the courage to do these things to my face while I live. It won't. I will be dead and gone – victorious and free – and the people who cared, who loved me, and called me 'friend', will remember me as they did – and those who hated, opposed and feared me, will make it obvious that I meant less than nothing to them – which says, as far as I'm concerned, far more about them than it does of me”

“Some children are threatened with loss of privileges such as money, cell phones, cars or even eviction from home if they do not ‘toe-the-line’ and ‘act straight’. I don't think parents who do such things consider for a moment the kind of irreparable emotional damage they are doing to their children – or that they’re thinking beyond their own feelings about the situation – which will not change or go away simply because of their denial of it.”

“The coining of a new (somewhat short-lived) term, ‘homophiliac’, used by homophobes as an alternative to ‘homophobic’, is no more than an exercise in facetiousness. The principle employed, is to try to present something morally reprehensible (homophobia) as something ordinary or innocuous – in the same way that racists avoid using words like ‘racist’ to describe themselves, in favor of wrapping their hatred in terms like ‘white pride’ in order to make the same thing seem less reprehensible than itself”

“If all people were to be judged by ‘right and wrong’, nobody would be wholly right or wholly wrong - for have not all people ‘sinned and fallen from the glory of God’? It seems more than a little unfair (and unhinged) that some folks with at least as much ‘sin’ themselves as any gay or trans person, like to jump up and down and point fingers at what other people are up to in their own lives.”

“While many people define being a man or a woman as being dependent on reproductive capacity, it is worth noting (should such a superficial argument present itself) that there are many males and females who are born male or female and cannot reproduce either – and yet they are not considered ‘not male’ or ‘not female’? This is a hypocritical standard that is only applied to judge transgender people.”
