sigmaleph: Today, in honour of the death of Pope Francis, I would like to recall his tireless struggle to make my life worse. Both the same-sex marriage and gender identity laws in Argentina passed while he was Archbishop of Buenos Aires, which is to say the most prominent religious figure in the country, and he fiercely opposed them (famously calling the former a plot by the devil to destroy God’s plan). As a transgender lesbian in Argentina, having legally changed my name and gender and being married to my wife, things that have made my life enormously better and would not have been possible if he’d had his way, I can only say this: fuck you, you piece of shit. We won, you lost. The next pope will probably also be a terrible person, because that’s a requirement for the job of head of the Catholic Church. May it fade into irrelevance in my lifetime. every pope is a terrible person because that is a requirement for being the pope
