“Clear your throat mother” 😂👏🏽

[@magicraccoons]

The part I think people don't talk about enough is how she said "You don't have to accept us, you just have to take our money." She really gave that low-life one last chance to just let them shop and give them business all while being judged by his scornful little eyes. She just wanted the best for her people and didn't mind being looked down on while handing over her hard earned money. She may be ruthless but deep down there are hints of those moments when she is the nicest person willing to sacrifice for others.

Exactly, but as depicted in season 1… there’s even discrimination within the LGBT community. Gay men who look down on and judge trans people just like straight people do. Sad.

[@mohammedalaskar6822]

Tam C It happens alot. In fact i do believe transphobic and homophobs are gays themselves, never seen a true straight man talking bad about gays and trans people, its always those who live in the closet. They feel insecure and dont want to be caught. Thays why they pretend to hate them so no one doupts them.

Can't wait to start season 2 tomorrow.

And what if outside there is a bouncer?? The men in women clothes will start crying for sexism and bs like that??

[@TheEyeSeesAll]

Why does every main character on this show act like insulting people makes you automatically win a battle no one else is having but them. They just insult people and walk out of a room…over and over again. Do the writers actually think that’s a mic drop? It’s just annoying and childish.

[@TamESQ]

*Sips drink* The Eye “sees all” you say? Mr. Eye, the only thing you’ll see is my ass as it sashays away from you, for you do not have the appeal to ever be a main character. Hell, you don’t have the appeal to be a recurring character, a one-time guest star… and sadly, not even an EXTRA. You’re just merely a fan, who watches me from the very far… and you’ll probably have to sneak in to see me… because you can’t AFFORD a front row seat to this greatness. Now, THAT is a mic drop moment and you can pick it up, but it may be too heavy for you. 🫰🏾

[@slimmboy07]

You negate the fact that the characters are not insulting people and walking off. They are standing up for themselves when someone tries to dictate who they should be or insults them first. What you interpret as childish and annoying, is actually someone havong self respect enough to not accept being talked to any kind of way. It's a matter of you get what you give.
