1 month agoFor some of us, please understand, the urgency to destroy X as a platform by denying it users is an imperative, because its owner is using his platform to make our lives measurably more dangerous with his hatred.
Using the platform is empowering Elon Musk to eliminate trans people from the world. For me, that’s not an airy-fairy thing, that’s my life and the lives of my loved ones.
So please, you might also have some understanding that for some of us, it’s not an intellectual exercise, it’s an existential threat.

And I’m saying, it’s nice that you have the freedom to approach it as an intellectual exercise. I, on the other hand, will use every tool at my disposal, including contempt if that’s what it takes, to induce people to leave that fascist site, because it’s a direct threat to me. There are literally people on that site who make money off identifying trans people for MAGA chuds to violently target.
You do it your way, and I’ll do it my way. And don’t expect much sympathy for a kinder gentler approach to people who are enabling an incipient genocide. If they don’t want to hear that they’re doing that, they know how to block and mute. But please don’t lecture me about how I need to be nice to people enabling my elimination.
