    Whenever I mention that the way things get phrased in left spaces matters, I get yelled at that it doesn’t matter. This is why it matters.

    I’m an adult, so.im not going to let some Internet Dipshit who can’t practice what they preach chase me right, but there’s plenty of vulnerable kids out there, who do have real problems, that are sick of being told those problems don’t matter because of how they look - which is similar to the people WHO ARE ALSO OPPRESSING THEM.

    Stop attacking fellow victims of the system. You are not creating allies

      Yes. The left is horrible at messaging, both in terms of word-choice AND in terms of attitude. I fundamentally agree with left-leaning ideals far more than right-leaning ideals, but holy shit there are people who are just dog-shit at the messaging, and somehow that messaging sticks the hardest.
