I knew it would happen, but I'm still sad.

Seriously, I hate Reddit. It doesn't matter how nice and kind and accepting people are. What matters is that they dissent from the party line. It was so upsetting when our small GCDebatesQT sub was banned for "hate speech," just like SuperStraight was. We even had two trans women moderators and a community full of trans and non-trans people who were friends and liked and respected each other, even when we disagreed. But none of that was enough for Reddit. The admins there just want to silence unapproved speech.

i was a member of that sub. We got into some really good debates there, and for the most part everyone was respectful (though I don't think we changed each other's minds much.

You cannot change the mind of someone who is already so far deep in denial. They need to be willing to question their own identities first. The main reason debate matters is for neutral onlooker "normies" who stumble upon the space.

You're talking about people who have internalized mental illness as part of their "identity" - and no, actually referring to the "neurodivergent" crowd, not even the obvious trans activists.

And that mental illness has its very roots in their lack of identity to begin with.

Your screen name gave me the best laugh of the day! So hard to laugh when half the world has gone insane and they're the ones making the laws.
