Each to their own though...

I can’t speak on behalf of non-binary, as I’m not non-binary. But it doesn’t phase me if people want to identify as that, as long as they show a level of understanding that people will sometimes label them incorrectly without ill intent meant.

Just out of interest, what else fails under + ?

First I didn’t say gang .. that’s just you dreaming .. I said tag-team which is what you and Redway are …

I write something and either you or Glen almost immediately makes a negative comment then when I respond suddenly there’s two of you picking a way at me ..

Imagine thinking you’re above criticism

Back to you again ?

Would non binary people be happy to be lumped into trans issue threads?

If you don’t want people disagreeing with you then stop posting comments like the ones you do. No-one’s above disagreements on a forum. That’s not bullying or victimisation. It’s part of what a forum’s for. Bringing out the mental-health-and-victimisation card whenever you get natural disagreement isn’t a good look. Nor is insisting on a tag-team (which me and Glenn aren’t) being different from a gang, and I want to believe it’s not just your shade of neurodivergence making you pedantic and literal there. You need to get a grip and grow up.

You come to S&D to get tag teamed willingly. It's supposed to be very sporty. I just ignore comments that are off-topic and personal. That decision is pretty simple.

[Maru]

Anyway, somewhat off topic, I'd been pondering this hypothesis. Celebrities are often maimed both publicly and viciously through media for everything from bad marriages to choosing the wrong color dress.

What if the allure of ideology is that it can be weaponized very easily entrap the masses reusing their own thinking. After all, isn't this what the elites and celebrities have been put through all for the virtues of "honest discourse". Must be nice to be able to turn the tables for once on the public that are so relentlessness in private (DMs, snail mail, personal comments being made with zero regard). So why would they especially care whether the public thinks what they do is or isn't normal when social media has given them power the to return the favor?

I think trans folk and trans issues in general are often used for bludgeoning one's enemies and that certainly is not right in the grand scheme. However, we've tended towards praise for the longest time towards personality traits that encourage open and honest critique (or just comments) as if that is always a virtue. Except, I think that hasn't made for a good marriage with the internet. Yes, where body language and social barriers are concerned, there's more utility to be discerning. However, online we don't even know how well the other person handles such comments. It doesn't account for if the person is even the intended audience.

The average celebrity has always faced this problem though since they're used to having both their personalities and person-hood being mutilated in the public space, so I think their tendency towards "humanity" for those with unusual backgrounds also facing such undue criticism makes sense.

If I were very resenting towards the public as a media personality, for example, then these kinds of issues are perfect for turning the table. So the more the public complain, the more they're maybe like "YES! I'm making them uncomfortable for a change! Finally!"

No-one’s fighting whatever definition you’re painting for yourself to the most literal micro-detail. I know how your neurodivergence affects you might make you more literal about things but that’s not the point. Opinions are always going to attract counter-opinions, especially when said opinions are questionable and borne from a place of ignorance. You’re not exempt from people disagreeing with you, whether you choose to fixate on it being a tag-team or not. I don’t think you understand how forums (even wrongplanet.com) work. So naturally I don’t think TiBB is the place for you.

If there’s only one thing you take from this, let it be that people are allowed to openly disagree with you. If you want to be left alone on that front, don’t post ignorant or controversial opinions. You’re not exempt from people disagreeing with you and making that disagreement known. And if you do think you’re exempt, why is that? You’re not the only neurodivergent poster on here. It’s just that everyone-else understands the two-way nature of forum-conversation and takes some accountability for what they say. You don’t see Barry pulling the mental-health card whenever someone has an opinion different to his. It’s not your autism that makes you the opposite of that. Just that you are, and you implicitly use that as an excuse. Because why-else can you not handle basic disagreement?

[Zizu]

As I have repeatedly advised I don’t bother myself by reading through never ending walls of text … you just rinse and repeat the normal nonsense about accountability and lucozade …

[Crimson Dynamo]

Mothin the Green Muslim deputy seems to struggle with a few questions from a trans person

He tries to blame the mythical far right and colonialism tho.

But yet you’re still responding and picking out what I say. Who do you think you’re kidding?

You’re not above people disagreeing with you. It’s a forum. You don’t need special treatment. Get that into your head. If you can’t handle the heat, stay out of the kitchen and go and watch football instead.
