    My wife’s name is Karen. We have multiracial friends, gay and trans friends, and we don’t demand to speak to the manager. But she has to put up with the name she received at birth being used as a lazy slang term for horribleness - which to me is one of the most hypocritical behaviors a trans person or ally can engage in. But that’s just like, my opinion, man.

    edit: Just checking back… yep, predictable burst of douchvotes. There are over 1.5 million people named Karen in the US alone, and you haven’t met most of them, but go ahead and defend demonizing their names to object to bad behavior - how fucking enlightened!
