I'm gay. You should believe me when I tell you that plenty of people still believe it is wrong and it does impact me in very big ways. Times that by 10 for transpeople. Do not attempt to speak for these groups when you have no idea of what their experiences are.
- philwelch 8y agoYou're assuming that I'm straight. Interesting. Also false.
- lenticular 8y agoSorry, my mistake. However, you are repeating the claims of crypto-homophobes that deny that anti-LGBT discrimination is still a very big problem. It is still a horrible scourge, and minimizing it is morally wrong. You may not experience too many issues due to what I imagine is a higher-middle class tech industry social status, probably in a coastal city, but others aren't so lucky. I stand by my criticism.
- philwelch 8y agoThen discuss how and why it's a big problem instead of making existence claims. That's my only point.
- lenticular 8y agoAre you seriously asking me for evidence of my claim that homophobia is a big problem? Do you need similar evidence of racism being a big problem?
- philwelch 8y agoNo, because you've demonstrated neither the capacity nor the inclination for good-faith discussion. I'm simply clarifying my original point, since I seem to have expressed it poorly in the first place.
