It's a discussion I want to have, with you, and I purposefully kept it out of Coraline's mentions to avoid it being seen as antagonistic. I honestly, earnestly, do not understand, and would like you to explain why this attitude is ok. I'm open to changing my mind.
As a side note, I really hate to be so defensive and needing to put a whole tweet of disclaimers just to be able to HAVE that conversation. I'm not a Nazi, or alt-right, I don't hate minorities, I want to support them, I don't have an agenda, I should be able to SAY these things.
Will get back to you on this, a bit later when I have time.
I'm not sure if you're aware, but while un-@'ing will keep you out of her mentions, it will not keep your messages from showing up to anyone who opens up the original thread to read it, where they're a derailing microaggression.
Regardless of your not meaning it as such, your comment comes across as concern trolling, and uses a lot of phrasing that will be read as dogwhistles like "identity politics", "extreme", and "unfair [to group not at personal safety risk or any disadvantage due to 'unfairness']".
If someone who constantly deals with aggression and threats due to hetero- and cis-normativity sometimes or always feels more comfortable not being around straight people, their mentioning that is not hurting you or reason for you to advise them not to "hurt their cause".
That is very true, and the reason why I removed myself from her mentions. Now there are several things: 1. We NEED to be able to have a conversation about identity politics without it being read as a dogwhistle. Seriously, fuck those guys, I want to reclaim discourse.
No. "Identity politics" is not something we need to discuss at all, because it's a framing invented and used by awful people.
