I would be curious to see an example of an official saying the second phrase. I find it hard to believe that advice would be given by anybody worth listening to. It's fine to list real things but that feels like embellishment.

The message is not "pedophiles are human beings too"

The message is "let's not turn this thread into talking about how much you all hate trans people and how disgusting they are"

Again, if you need clarification, I'm very reachable

If you'd like to know anything about me, about who I really am as a person, I welcome you to reach out and speak to me one on one

If you'd rather keep misinterpreting or mischaracterizing things I've said or done, I welcome you to keep doing that. It's the trend around here, lots of fun.

I reflected long and hard on the wording I chose for my post. Did you read it?

To be clear, no, you are wrong. I have zero percent support for this person, I am disgusted by it all, and I was absolutely, unequivocally, not playing devil's advocate at all.

I am against transphobia, the end. I would also speak up similarly if someone picked out a black criminal and called them all slurs, or an Asian person, or if they tried to imply all disabled people were revolting freaks because a guy in a wheelchair committed a crime, or some other similar thing.

The summary of my post, to condense it down, would be "It is not right or fair to call all trans people revolting freaks when one of them commits a crime." Do you agree with that? Or disagree? That was the essence of my post. This is what I see on Twitter quite a bit, and it disgusts me. This shit is just the same as hating blacks or hating women or hating gays, it's just the most modern version of it.

If it's difficult for you to imagine these two conditions existing at once, "Being against a pedophile/child groomer" and "Being against transphobia" then that is your problem and not mine. But to clarify, you have made the wrong conclusion here. I'm just letting you know.

I'll add that funhaver is probably on the right track - if my post was attached to some random username, the reactions would not be the same. So I will take responsibility for making the mistake of posting on TFTV.

not sure if you're trolling or just actually don't understand but i'm here to help you out

if you just need your internet points, go off i guess

Chief..

Everyone involved in this situation is a human being. We can fully and completely condemn and decry the words and actions of these people without sinking to the level of calling them fuckin weird crazy freaks, or implying they're subhuman or whatever you're going for. We haven't thrown out basic human decency yet. You can give your take or opinion without tossing your own prejudices and hatred on this shitpile. There's a way to ask why people are defending her, without denigrating or dehumanizing her.

When a trans person does terrible or illegal things, like in this case, it's not an invitation for every young man to get online and declare that all of them are disgusting freaks. That's not the case. That ain't it. I've seen too much of that in the past year in my online travels, to be really frank.

As angry and shocked as we all were, and as weird and challenging of a time as this was for us all to process, no level-headed person came out saying she's an animal or a circus freak. You are failing to really understand the situation and how or why this all happened if that's your takeaway, imho. Maybe this matters to you, maybe not. Just my take on the reason for your downvotes.

I read this article, and find it surprisingly good. Agreed, pretty much, with it all, did lots of nodding. I had literally almost forgotten that the Democratic party never has a plan for how to win, and the present is no different.

He makes an interesting point near the end, saying that it is at least conceivable to think that.. after being impeached and exonerated, he could WIN AGAIN in 2020, and potentially even be impeached a second time.

I would add a bookend to that, though. If a President can be impeached, and then re-elected, I think it's officially time to burn the whole system down and rebuild it from scratch, because I don't think that's how it's supposed to work. (And we already know much of the system is broken - so this isn't like news, but more of a reminder.)

Gonna also read the twin article arguing from the other side. Thanks again.

I was young and some of you weren't even around yet, but let's keep some context when it comes to Clinton, and for that matter Johnson as well, compared to this shit

You're just not understanding this

"They TRIED to do it with the alfa thing" (deal with it in private) which is the same thing they did with Nursey (deal with it in private). Obviously dealing with it in private failed (though they TRIED), obviously you're not satisfied with what happened, obviously it was dealt with stupidly, obviously you're unhappy, and imo Tino is really bad at posting so that's why this shit escalates into an argument, but this is a reading comprehension thing. You misunderstood what he wrote. What he wrote is correct, you took it and twisted it into something. Go back and read the posts if you want.

i've got a gold one signed by showstopper for some reason

This is incorrect, millennial covers, broadly, births between about 1980 and 2000ish. Or, 1981 to 1996 according to Wikipedia. Only the very oldest millennials approach 40, today.

I'm glad they removed favorites of 20 years to make room for.. *checks notes* Penguin with an ice cube head
