Sexism: invented in 1965

Transphobia : invented in 1989
Fun countermeasure: "Try not to 41% yourself."
Serious countermeasure: "Your genes mark you for what you are. All that surgery and all you've managed to do is make a cheap mockery of what you're trying to mimic. By the way, it's called trans-odium."

Serious countermeasure: "Xenodium. Nothing wrong with hating exploitative economic invaders."
Hate Speech: invented in the late 1980's
Fun countermeasure: "Whining about hate speech? That's gotta be a new world record on 'shortest debate loss', loser."
Serious countermeasure: "Yes, it's true - I hate your kind's insidious behavior... but you didn't call me a liar."
We're literally getting silenced and having our speech taken from us because of words invented within the last 150 years or so . They should be all thrown away.
Make fun of it. Mockery is one of the greatest tools against tyrants.
