Being looked at unfavorably by history doesn' t necessarily mean that you are wrong.

Yes, I worry that humans will choose the wrong "right side of history", but I don' t think I am wrong in the positions and opinions I have on this specific matter.

As for changing my mind, I have joined the defunct debate sub specifically because I wanted someone to give me a reason to forget my TERFy thoughts. It never happened and I can assure you that it wasn' t for lack of trying (on my part).

I will change my mind when a good argument will succeed. But I am not going to change my position while still believing in the things I believe in just because it' s hard to be criticized. There' s nothing wrong in not wanting to use certain words to describe a category of people and at the same time wanting them to have their spaces, labels, protections and so on.

Same! I was desperately hoping for someone to explain how this isn't just a load of old-fashioned misogyny. After months and months of receiving nothing but that, I realised I can't keep fooling myself, much like how I couldn't stop fooling myself that men are all just misguided and a little confused, but not misogynistic.
