Mods, can we please have some moderation? We're being brigaded.

Ah yeah, I can see how you'd misinterpret what I said. No argument there then. With that being said, I think we can agree that not saying something doesn't mean you implicitly agree with it, right? Like, if I said "wow the Holocaust and the Rwandan genocide were really awful", and you replied with "yeah, I really feel bad for the Jewish people", then I wouldn't instantly assume you're okay with the Rwandan genocide.

You're more scared of murder, I'm more scared of sexual violence. I think we can probably come to a happy medium and wish neither of those on anybody. Fair enough?

And yeah... Unfortunately the trans women who insist on TERFs being killed for their beliefs are like... Well, I guess an apt comparison would be that they're the TERFs of the trans community, just like you guys are the TERFs of the feminist community. A vocal minority that makes the rest of our respective groups look bad. And just like most feminists have no issue with trans women, most trans women have no issue with feminists. I'm not going to say that you guys aren't somewhat despicable, but you certainly don't deserve to have violence thrown at you just because you're throwing hate at other people. An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind.

All I really want is for you folks to accept me as a woman. It's not gonna happen today, but hopefully you can look back and say you're glad that you outgrew those views.

With that, this woman is going to get her beauty sleep. I've got a long day of work tomorrow and I've already stayed up a bit too late. If you reply to this comment, I'll be sure to reply tomorrow. :) Have a good night/day.
