      It is really, really not my goal to antagonize the trans community, or leftist trans people, or Twitter furries. It's not in my interest, I don't think it's right, and I want to avoid it as much as possible.

      But I'm routinely placed in this dilemma where I have some disagreement with part of these communities (about Jesse Singal, engaging rightists, whatever the next inevitable thing is). And I need to learn how to handle it without antagonizing my critics.

      The obvious thing to say is I just need to listen. Okay, I agree. I'm still the lucky one, the one with the platform, the one with the privilege to do this for a living. So the onus is on me to consider criticism fairly.

      The real question is: what to I do if I listen and I still don't agree? I can't always agree because my critics don't agree themselves. I'm looking for a way to demonstrate that I can take these criticisms seriously even if I don't ultimately agree with them.

      One idea is to have public conversations with leftist critics. So I'm opening myself up to that. Are there any leftist trans people you want me to talk to? Stream with? Have a public conversation? Let me know, I'll do it.

          hi! i'm a leftist transwoman i have a podcast about games/new media with a lot of leftist discussion if you're interested in talking on it. it's a good venue for a more relaxed chat about stuff: https://archive.org/details/@ellaguro …https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/beyond-the-filter/id1171736759 …

          i'd like less "public conversations" which you seem... oddly overfocused on, and more just admitting when you see a leftist critique as legitimate

          the way you earn good faith with leftist critics without agreeing with everything presented to you is admitting, in places, where they are right if you can't think of a *single* instance of that, then, well, you're never getting anywhere

          I dunno if this is a weird thing to say as a 700 follower account but we can DM and I we can see if it fits if you want. I'm mad you seem to not want to engage the left on their terms but I guess I can do it in yours once.

          Yeah, seems like these days "listen to what we have to say" means "do what we say" instead of opening themselves to other points of view.

          People talk about these mythical "Other points of view", but somehow they all seem to involve some measure of dehumanisation. Funny that...
