Imagine waking up one morning and being considered “harmful”? That your behavior you can’t control or your beliefs that are part of your identity are deemed to be an impediment? Your personality deemed toxic? What do you do? Specific acts can be condemned but a personality? He can’t do anything at all about being what he is. Why is it, then, than others can claim the right to be exactly what they are despite causing discomfort to others? Who has the right to say that “these weird people we like and use their weirdness for good and learn to live with their weirdness but these weirdnesses we won’t learn to live with and turn aside when we accounter them”?
- wpietri 6y agoWhat would I do if people said I was causing harm to others? I would first figure out if that were true. And if I were, I would find some way to stop harming others. That might involved learning new techniques for self control or rethinking my choices on what I identify with. I don't have a right to harm others. If I am, I should change. Why is that hard for some people to figure out?
