    There have been a weird number of these increasingly convoluted posts, I think mostly in this community, where they’re like, “if _____ is ______, because ____ are _____ when ____s _____, you’re transphobic/ableist/etc.”

    And it just feels like people are trying too hard to find something to deepen the problem of bigotry. The problem is already big. And it’s already kinda nuanced/vague because it involves other people and their history and intentions. That in itself already makes these issues kinda hard to pin down because they are amorphous. But these kind of posts and the others over the past few days definitely make it seem like people are just trying to find new ways to make problems more specific to their personal beliefs.

    It just strikes me as a little disingenuous or odd.

      All you have to do if you don’t like or understand something is move on. You didn’t need to come here and invalidate someones identity.

      Edit:

      This just screams that you are being disingenuous yourself is what I mean.

        lol…um…how? Is this like a “you smelt it you dealt it” rule or something? There has been a sudden uptick in increasingly convoluted memes being posted. And I…pointed that out. That means I’m being disingenuous how, exactly? I’m being disingenuous about…people being disingenuous? What.
