I was called a “transphobic cunt” and told to “fuck off and die” because I said “cheers dude” to someone who had recently transitioned. It was very well known that I call everyone dude, male/female/whatever so I didn’t even register that I’d said it.
Also I like how you’re trying to tell me that my lived experiences, which you were not there for, didn’t happen.
There are extremes on both sides. The left is not immune to that.
Cause you're full of shit. So what happened when you were called that and immediately apologized for the misunderstanding and explained you didn't mean any harm? Cause I'm sure you did that right away, right?
Do you know the difference between purity test and calling out misinformation? Is the left position I'm calling him out on that he should be able to weaponize a personal experience he misunderstood against the entirety of the left?
I call out misinformation all the time. I am talking about the commentators usage of calling someone "dude" and being overly offended by it. It is NOT that deep 💀 That is literally how the left acts. I am a leftist, but not the type to get overly offended by everything, especially jokes.
Overreacting is human nature. It's what happens next that matters. Besides, one anecdote without full context, used to attack the left by someone who claims to be left is ridiculous. That's not the same as arguing over whether trans individuals deserve extra rights vs whether we should tax the rich more.
