      Helen Pluckrose Retweeted "Anti-Fascism is a position, not an organization"

      There is a very low bar for all of these. None of my respondents gave any sign of being racist or homophobic yet they feared being called it. Some did not believe in gender identity. They are called transphobes. Does this help anything?https://twitter.com/DonaldMcBee/status/928389542578712577 …

      "Anti-Fascism is a position, not an organization" @DonaldMcBee
      So we can't even vilify racists for being racists, transphobes for being transphobic, homophobes saying homophobic shit, yet you are claiming you are the high water mark for free speech? Give me a break.

      Replying to @HPluckrose

      Stop being transphobic, is it really that hard, or do they not like current evidence and research in neurobiology and mental health? Why don't these people actually meet some transgender for once before spouting off about things they know nothing about?

      Nobody has to believe in gender identity. They just have to not harass trans people. And trans people have to not harass them. You can't force people to believe what you want them to even if it true. I wish no-one was religious.

          True, but I can make fun of them for being stupid, I mean, it is a rather stupid belief that isn't supported by current evidence as we understand it at this time.

          Shitty argument. If current evidence goes unquestioned there will be no progress.

          If you're willfully spreading misinformation about them that leads to societal troubles and political policies being made against them, then you're in fact doing them harm. The bar has been raised.pic.twitter.com/PDfUTVFfKS

          If you just made up your own definition of begging the question, sure. She assumed that all you needed to do was to not physically harm a minority community to not do them harm, and I corrected her. Since, ya know, bad stereotypes/policies do in fact do people harm 'n' stuff...

          Yeah, Jeff Sessions cracking down on harmless marijuana to fill up already overstuffed private prisons with even more young black men is doing us WONDERS! And also who NEEDS to fund HBCUs like he promised, pfft. How cocky were we to ask for money.
