Love it but I prefer “You best respect my trans homies, before I change your pronouns into was and were”
I know those ain’t pronouns but they can’t read so fuck it
A slight rewrite can fix that
“ unless you wish to identify as was/were, you’d best respect my trans homies”
-furiously scribbles notes-
See, this is why protest signs need to be crowd-sourced.
How about
“Respect trans people or you’ll identify as was/were.”
I think it hits better if you put the demand first to set up the context and the “or else” second to deliver the punch. “Respect my trans homies, unless you wanna be a was/were” ends on the implication to wonder about. Putting it first might distract them from the second half of the message.
Not quite happy with my versuon either, though I’m not sure why. Might need more workshopping still.
Wow I love that sign.
I wonder if I could get that as a bumper sticker.
You can get literally anything as a bumper sticker.
