the last time I had to block this many people was when the pro-life crowd came streaming in accusing me of being a brutal baby murderer. Can I just make the pro-life and radical trans people fight each other

I also want to say I feel very grateful to you for engaging kindly, even if it's hard for you and even despite the hurt you feel. I feel a lot of respect for you in that.

I feel fundamentally it's important to initially treat things people say as if it has the best possible meaning it could and let the "offender" prove you wrong. The question could understandably be seen as accusatory, but the best meaning of it wasn't.

If you don't believe in censoring yourself once you've hurt people and you've been told that, I don't know what else to say. Other people won't censor themselves either, and to expect them to read everything you've written after you've hurt them is...hopeful, to say the least.

I think that I'm just about at the limit of what I can say without allowing my emotions through, so I'll wish you the best and truly hope that this becomes a moment of self-reflection rather than knee-jerk defensiveness. Best

I guess what people are reacting to is that suggesting some trans people are transitioning out of fascination rather than necessity & are not 'actually' trans is hurtful coz it's a slippery slope & many transpeople have had their identity disbelieved on just such grounds.
