This is incredible. Massive appreciation for Larry and people like him who are open to new perspectives and admit when they were wrong.
But also, that’s not nearly enough. As difficult as it is to admit when you’ve been wrong, it’s the bare minimum of human behavior we should expect of people. Larry needs to rethink every political position he’s ever held, every politician he’s ever supported, and wonder if he wasn’t a bigot the whole time. He needs to recognize that the bigots he voted for still passed the bigotry into law. Consider how confident he was in his own ignorance when he was planning to speak at the forum in support of bigotry.
Applauding this is like applauding the first time a toddler poops in the potty. Sure, it’s cause for celebration, but only because he’s never done it before. He’s an adult, and he’s been shitting all over the house his entire life. Hooray for progress, but also oh my god.
Exactly. If most people did any research into trans healthcare beyond just parroting the incorrect points they’ve heard in passing there would be a lot less bigotry being normalized.
It’s not other peoples’ job to educate you, if you’re going to take a strong stance on something at least listen to the research that experts have already laid out for you before you do.
