@elonmusk Dude, you have fired literally thousands upon thousands of people who are angry at you. Stop blaming just the news outlets your disapproval. Good job on Twitter man, but get your head out of your ass.
@davidmweissman The GOP has become exactly what they've always accused the left of. They both rule with fear. The only difference is that one uses it primarily as a motivation for action, and the other uses it as a stalling tactic to squeeze out their last dollar.
@DonaldJTrumpJr Those companies ALL went through rigorous approval processes before they went to the market, and they were fought tooth and nail every step of the way. Gun companies do whatever they want and piss all over every regulation. Truly respectful of the whole nation, right? @POTUS
@JimSterling This highlights the problem with the term TERF to begin with. It assumes that anyone you label it with is a Feminist, which gives too much credit to many of the targets. A lot of transphobes are just misogynist assholes who look down on all women, cis and trans alike.
@PanicGamer@JimSterling You fail to understand that it is a only mental ailment without transition. Living your whole life hating who you are without knowing why, then you find out one day and everything finally makes sense. Gender Transition is a mental health remedy.
@AnakhaSilver Meaning what angle they're coming from, not a literal origin. What their thought process is like. Don't engage with an "enemy" without data. They believe what they believe because of their Book. That's their source of fear. Calm that fear, then talk.
@AnakhaSilver If you can't understand where they're coming from, try. If you're wrong, try again until you're actually communicating instead of waging war with each other.
@AnakhaSilver@JimSterling@Sclenk1 Because if you don't show that you're human you're already dead to them. Look, your family may legitimately feel like you basically killed yourself and disappeared one day. You probably even told them that you're never coming back. You're still the same person. Show that.
@ConradZimmerman@JimSterling@Sclenk1 That's on them. Let them live with that. They always go low. Seriously. Give a fake ass apology to them for breaking all their rules, and tell them that you're sorry for not respecting them. They'll feel all high and mighty. Then tell them the good in your life. Stay positive.
@JimSterling@Sclenk1 Again, empathy doesn't mean you agree with them. It means harnessing the energy being pointed at you in a constructive way and demonstrating that you understand where they are coming from to teach them something. Throw some transphobic language at me and I'll show you what I mean
@JimSterling@Sclenk1 Not trying to scare you, but you're giving them exactly what they want when you say that. They don't want to view you as human. Showing zero empathy only makes it easier for them to view you as less than. We both know that is far from true.
@AnakhaSilver Also, going around and screaming at people and telling them they're wrong in their beliefs is not educating. Trying to convince people to join you is not educating. Both are evangelicalism. Denial of differences is the leading cause of conflict, remember that.
