    Ooo I wanna try

    I support Trans people but this coffee shop this Trans lady in town opened, her coffee is sour. Will someone please teach her to make coffee so supporting her doesn’t taste bad?

    How was that? Also why does my autocarrot capitalize Trans? Is it like Black when referring to identifiers? The Chicago manual of style didn’t prepare me for this

      Sure, but you’ve also unveiled an implicit bias there.

      It’s like saying the person was black. You didn’t need to, it has no bearing on the story. It shows that something about that particular characteristic had an effect on the situation for you, even subconsciously.

      It’s not the hugest deal, it might not even be negative. I catch myself doing it sometimes, we all have stuff that was built into us that we don’t know is there.

      Fresh light roast coffee is sour and it’s supposed to be and I love it. If you don’t like sour coffee get darker roasts or shittier coffee. Just saying. Get a great blonde roast shot of espresso pulled for yourseld sometime, life changing.
