316. Yes, I find the wording
in the OP and some of the posts (arguing each side) offensive. That's not an excuse to accuse everybody trying to talk, learn, FORM an opinion on the subject of being a STUPID BIGOT. People don't know how to frame it, or what to think about Rachel's professed identity. Some try to give her the benefit of the doubt, some don't. Fine.
People are using Caitlyn's story as a frame of reference because people are finally truly believing these women. That's great! Now Rachel comes along and they want to support her, too, without TRULY understanding the plight of either woman, but wanting to make an effort to understand. I understand that some people on the right are trying to say: see, this is as stupid as the Jenner thing... and that's ridiculous and hateful. I understand that some on the left are saying: why can't we support people who identify as a different gender and a different race? And I understand that some people take issue with that and think, COME ON, that doesn't even make any sense. But, I don't think viscous attacks are helping them understand why. Everyone is tolerant and accepting to those they find easy to tolerate and accept. A little snark is one thing, but the all out character assassinations of fellow liberals are way over the top, imo. |
