I’m not talking about me! Im fine. I’m betting that’s true for the people who aren’t “in.” Just because I’m white/male/heterosexual doesn’t mean it’s impossible for me to be rational or empathize

That’s your fault then, not mine. You’re reading something that wasn’t said even vaguely because you’re looking to make a point completely unrelated to mine. It’s only relevant to the point I made if you think that will continue to be the case in the long run
