I get it, I get it. I talk like a nonbinary person who has opinions. And that’s not what the patriarchy has conditioned people to expect, so there’s a reaction of fear and uncertainty from people used to living in the patriarchy.

Trans people are capable of transphobia because not every trans person in the world knows everything in the world about trans issues.

Hey, you’re talking about me! Yes, I was repeatedly misgendered by a user who claimed to be apolitical. Yes, I warned the admins that this user was going to be transphobic and they did nothing. Yes, I believe that trans people are capable of transphobia, because not every trans person knows every single thing in the universe about being trans.

Yes.

Either they’re a tankie and start singing the praises of the USSR and PRC and all sorts of totalitarian hellholes, or they start talking about hypothetical economic systems and states which haven’t been shown to be practically achievable

Well allow me to present the third option: communism has been tried in Australia and North America, and it worked. Marx’s ideas of what a communist society would look like were informed by descriptions he read of how the Haudenosaunee people actually organised their society. They did communism for thousands of years and it worked.

That sounds pretty statist. How do you square that with the fact communism is stateless?

I don’t think Monster has become part of transfem culture. IDK maybe I’m just old. Get off my lawn

Reality is god to realists. That’s what they believe in. They worship it, they obey it, they demand others have the same respect for it. It’s theism.

I don’t believe you’re an atheist, because you believe in reality. That’s religious thinking.

Anyway, maybe it wouldn’t hurt so much if you weren’t trying to read my mind without consent. No means no, but you didn’t even ask. No wonder you’re in pain, you tried to delve inside my mind and I kicked you back out.

Yeah, I’m neurodivergent in a lot of different ways, and every one of them reduces the efficacy of neurotypical empathy. That sensation you’re experiencing right now from talking to me is the same way neurotypical people feel when they talk to you. No wonder neurotypicals are so ableist to autistics, talking to us causes them pain. But it’s still not right for them to demand we think like them, and it’s still not right for you to demand I think like you. What we have to learn is how to coexist together.

And any coexistence we reach isn’t going to involve always assuming we can read minds effectively. It’s just an unrealistic standard.

Otherkin do the same things

If you don’t believe in fantasy then your life must be very boring

Don’t forget that believing in a reality beyond the senses is a religion too. All atheists are solipsists.

Being a witch is a green flag. It probably means she’s woke

Psychopathy is a disability, Elon doesn’t have it, and that’s a negative stereotype.
