Well, keep yelling on Twitter and calling people whatever you like. This supporter of trans rights, gay marriage, justice reform, and believer in the concept of systemic racism, and millions like me, is tuning out the loudest and screwiest voices. And I honestly don't feel bad about tuning them out, because most of them are crazy middle class white people.
