“Living your truth” is just a woke way of saying “alternative facts.” Change my mind.

I’m really glad you posted this though because this is the thing LGB people can’t be silent on. It is such epic TQ+ craziness that everyone sees through. It is fundamentally unfair to half the population and has the potential to set the clock back on our lives by a decade or more.

I saw someone say exactly that on Twitter and can't agree more. I'm not going to say there isn't such a thing as "my truth" only "the truth", because there are incidents where two or more sides are telling their honest version of how they perceived an event, without those versions lining up fully.

This is not one of those incidents, I don't care if "your truth" is that you feel you should get to compete against women, because THE truth is that you were born a male, went through puberty as a male & even competed as a male. The first fact alone should disqualify you from ever competing in women's sports. And there's all the more damage being caused here, when charities which used to heavily focus on gay rights champion this shit. Because to the layman there's no difference between the LGB & TQ+, especially when it's being peddled by organisations like HRC or Stonewall

Perhaps a useful way to think about those times when two or more accounts of the same experience honestly and genuinely don't align is by recognizing that my perception of the truth may be different from yours, and that neither my perception nor yours need be definitive.

I always said it similar to the person above me. There's your story my story and somewhere in between Is the truth.
