@EdgecrusherNTB@kyogres @Autistic_Lia empathy we’re born with isn’t the be-all end-all of anything, and everyone deserves basic human respect. But this argument is flawed 2/2
@EdgecrusherNTB@kyogres @Autistic_Lia But this isn’t true because you can practice empathy?

now she’ll do a media tour about how she wasn’t responsible for the brutal murder of a 16 year old, and how actually SHE is the victim of mean emails from transgender eighth graders, all the while that child is dead and their family has an empty seat at the dinner table. evil
