- franczesko 5y agoI'd be cautious about referring to what is acceptable to the "majority" and claiming that the concept receives a broad support, as in reality it seems that it's quite the opposite.
- lwhi 5y agoI suppose it depends whether you're making the comment in a community where the majority are cis gendered men or not. And furthermore, if you weren't expecting the majority to disagree you've just certified the comment as disingenuous anyway.
- franczesko 5y agoI was expecting a discussion about the merit of my comment and not an immediate downvote just because someone might not like opinion.
