True, thanks for laying that out - that’s what I meant by the circumstances of their meeting. It’s a unique situation where there’s not really any sort of onus on Dil to tell Fergus, and it makes sense to assume Fergus knows what the deal is. That’s also why I mentioned that, when other scenes utilize this trope, it…

Encouraging gay/trans panic and depicting gay/trans panic are not the same thing. There are men out there who definitely would be shocked and disgusted to learn that they were hooking up with someone of the same biological sex, regardless of gender, the same way some men get disgusted by ‘gay stuff’ or being seen…

Nahh, this is absolute bullshit though.

He’s also an upstanding, morel citizen, who tries hard not to truffle anyone’s feathers.

One question I have about this show (only seen clips): Why did they call it Avenue 5? I get maybe not wanting to give it a traditional sci-fi name, but given the premise it seems weird for them to choose a title that explicitly makes it sound like they’re all on earth.

Nah, we’re good. I absolutely expected disagreement when I went into this, and even though it seems like we’ve hit bedrock on the self-ID thing, that’s fine. I appreciate the back-and-forth. You’re alright.

I’ve been ‘rambling’ in order to address YOUR points, buddy. Every single time I’ve written something it’s been in order to address a point that you’ve made and in order to construct an argument, and you’ve slimed away from each and every point that I’ve made in order to attack your straw-man version of what I…

If you were bothered by my incivility then that’s on you for coming in hot, and if I’ve misinterpreted your point then that would be because of the complete lack of focus in your replies.

Anyway I was satirizing softsack’s position

Hey - ungreyed and starred.

the latter is about 90% personal indulgence, 10% effect.

Yep! That sounds about right.

This has been dealt with in other posts, though probably not to your liking. Scroll down.

No need to thank me, I have only respect for you and you’ve been chill with your disagreements.

Once again... in your world everyone is either pro-trans, or fascist, and there is absolutely nothing else.

It would be even better if those baying hordes of incels weren’t tolerated by our side in the first place, because all they ever do is make shit worse.

Once again, did people think that Martin Luther King was white, pretending to be black? Were all those civil rights campaigners looking to be recognized as black people, when society was saying: ‘No but you’re all white, actually?’ Then it’s not the same thing! Trans people are already equal citizens as their AAB…

First of all, as I mentioned below, I’m pan and genderqueer. So don’t come at me with that ‘taken seriously by the LGBTQ+ community’ shit. Rowling’s problem is not with non-binary people, it is EXPLICITLY with trans women. This demand that I deal with every single topic in one go or else I’m a bigot is excruciating.

You didn’t suggest a way to do better, you suggested that people fighting for their rights were responsible for the hate that someone had for them.

Thanks for the hugs and I send them right back.
