  • You don’t know how a person on the street or anywhere else will respond to ANY interaction. By this logic we just shouldn’t talk to one another.

    We ALL get it. You’re burned out. Take a seat champ. You’re also alone in your thinking here and trying to force others to commit to saying fuck off to any who want to genuinely learn and maybe help our communities.

    The whole “I’m not your Google” shtick has done more to harm marginalized communities and minorities than it’s helped. People who are “ally-curious” often are afraid to expand their knowledge by asking first hand experiences. So they go and Google shit. And then they come to their own conclusions and are subsequently shit on by people in the very community they support because they’re accused of assuming one’s experience.

    I’m trans in a small town of about 7k. I can say with certainty that my openness to have respectful conversations about it when asked has improved things overall. If I had taken the stance presented here, the first, and likely ONLY first hand conversation with a trans person these people would ever have would have been a negative one and therefor painted us ALL negatively.

    Just get back to having open, honest fucking conversations people.

    Fuck. Just… FUCK. This just pisses me off.

    Ok. Deeeeeep breaths.

    The way I’ve argued it is that not all people who work as police are bastards. Some may be good people outside of work. The moment they put on that badge and willfully become part of an oppressive system, they are bastards.

    Yeah. It’s got holes-a-plenty, but it brings people into the conversation without throwing a totally blanket statement.
