You may find benefit in discussing it with other non binary people.
I’ve been thinking about it and honestly it would make me feel too much like a liar. And I don’t think I would be able to bring myself to do it, even if I decided right now that it’s what I’m going to do. I actually feel kinda shitty even for just asking that question, it feels wrong for multiple reasons. So I’m sorry for laying that question on you.
You’ve given me a lot to rethink here though. I definitely need to do a bit of homework regarding alt right tactics, in order to know the enemy better. I’m bad at homework and following directions and tend to just wing it but this is important and if I’m going to be involving myself in these conflicts, I’d better be armed appropriately.
Thank you very much for this awesome conversation. I’ve honestly been looking forward to your replies because you seem to get exactly what I’m talking about and your solutions make 100% sense to me. I hope to see you around here often, people like you make me feel a little less like running away from this place. Hope you have a great morning / day / night / whatever the time is where you are.
Glad to help. And I definitely see a lot of who I once was in your replies and so I’ve been giving myself time and mulling over things before replying because it does matter.
I think one of the biggest things I can say here is that we are always going to argue from two rhetorical disadvantages: 1) and this is honestly probably the smaller of the two, but people are generally more willing to listen to people similar to themselves unless they’ve been trained to take other groups as authoritative, and 2) we believe in things, which unfortunately is a huge disadvantage as we are bound to our beliefs, whereas they can adapt their position to whatever they think is advantageous at the moment and claim that you just misunderstood or they’re trolling.
They’re trying to tilt you and they’re better at it. But being dismissed tilts them.
