One of the things that bother me is that if the public ever realize the problems with this movement, I doubt they’ll ever admit that their behavior was wrong. They’ll just say, “I couldn’t have known!! I was just trying to be a good person and support oppressed people!” They’ll never acknowledge that they participated in silencing women who tried to speak up, they won’t acknowledge that they jumped on a bandwagon about a topic they actually knew nothing about. They won’t acknowledged that they engaged in slurs and slander towards women. They won’t acknowledge that they participated in harmful groupthink and bullying.

I was just trying to be a good person and support oppressed people!”

I had one guy said I was hateful for picking on the most vulnerable group in the world for suggesting we should maybe wait for a scientific basis for medically transitioning kids who almost certainly wouldn't be trans as adults.

Ah.. Reddit.
