(P.S. funny you mention gay. I'm gay too, and proud of that, too.)

That's another thing I'd like to see changed, people announcing their sexuality to everyone. I love fags though, they're great. There's a whole LGB section here, s/LGBDropTheT, maybe some other subs that don't hit s/all. And there's u/usehername, he loves cock and he's a good dude.

disavowing racism

The word racism is used to silence people. It probably will surprise you half the women I've been with have been black. I know I just did the thing I said people s I've lived with black people. There's certainly some good ones, but their overall situation is nothing to aspire to and that shouldn't be something people aren't allowed to say.

There's a few white nationalists here, and their group gets called racist constantly in the media, but nobody is harping on Japs for doing the same.

    Why should I be stopped from talking about my sexuality? That's a kind of speech law

    I don't think you should be stopped, merely the return of a social convention.

    Regarding racism

    I used to think that way. The 90s color blind ideal is how I was raised. However, it is flawed. As an example consider the stereotypical spooky dark alley way. If you are true to your ideals you'll be as likely to use the alley as not whether there is a white woman there, or a large black man. Obviously that is a foolish thing to do. So logically your system is flawed. And when you start with a bad foundation, building on it compounds the errors.

    as several others have done in this very thread

    If you want a really comprehensive answer you'd probably find racist, ask s/DebateAltRight. These guys aren't the hillbilly gun totin' beer swillin' dumbass rednecks portrayed in the media. They're some smart guys over there, a lot of former liberals. Actually that's pretty common on Saidit, but those guys particularly care about race.

    The short version is it's kind of telling between the black crime statistics, and how black people when left to their own devices not only don't accomplish anything, they tend to destroy what the white folk built up. But the guys in that sub do a compelling write up.

    You could ask "Are you using the word racism here as a silencer?

    Racism is a negative word. You are attributing people's beliefs here to racism, an unfounded hatred based on ignorance, but that's not what this is. Nobody wants to be called a racist, and saying certain beliefs are racist has the effect of quelling the discussion.

      Hi maybe start by educating yourself:

      This is from MIT who is on the opposite political side of me, but their 10-15 mins of explaining the basic concepts of fairness will do you good. You might actually learn that color blindness is racism and that color blindness causes harm. Yes, it sounds ridiculous to you, because you're uneducated in this matter and it is unintuitive. I was like you a few years ago before educating myself on the topic.

        as I'd burn the candle at both ends as their agenda seem to be the wholesale invalidation of trans people

        You say that like it's a bad thing. I'm really glad you're here btw. Saidit can really broaden your horizons. Unless you're one of sock's alts. We try to teach Socks but he doesn't learn. Still fun to talk to tho. I think so anyways. Typical reddit sensibilities aren't that appreciated here.

        trans people are just men motivated by patriarchal motives is a load of heartless disingenuous dishonest ideological codswallop

        There's two types of trannies, the kids who get tricked into it, a sociogenic disease, and often these kids are really LGB, and AGP, autogynephilia, the kinksters. I mean how stupid and useless of a thing is it to sit around and question your gender.

        If we could really switch genders that'd be one thing. One of my favorite books is Steel Beach by John Varley where people live on the moon, ride dinosaurs, and can actually change genders. I'd be all for it in that case, but that's not what we have. Gender reassignment surgery is mutilation. Girls cut off their titties, guys their cocks. It's insanity. And it doesn't fucking fix them! Go check out r/detrans on Reddit. A lot of these kids are autistic, not trans. Or look at some s/neovaginaldisasters to see what passes for a cunt for these guys.

        There is no polarized forum that can contain such an opinion. So that won't work.

        Sounds like pretty Standard Reddit Ideology, tbh.

        I find that disgusting tbh
