Listen I got things to do and we’re not gonna see eye to eye. Good luck to ya
We're not going to see eye to eye because you won't consider my perspective. You've already decided that you're right and that I'm wrong before the conversation even starts. You're not open to the idea that maybe you aren't right about this. I'd ask you to consider that. Just open yourself to that one thing, that one possibility that maybe you're wrong about this. Consider that maybe you haven't thought of every possible challenge to your view of gender. I am absolutely willing to consider your perspective, and I feel I more than have throughout this conversation. Afford me the same dignity and treat my ideas as legitimate points worth considering. If you're definitely right and I'm definitely wrong, then considering my arguments shouldn't matter, right? Because if I'm wrong anyway, then my arguments shouldn't change that.
I don't think you're really a bad person. You said some shock value troll comments at the start of all this but then actually spent like 2 hours of your time talking with me. The good thing to do, the morally right thing to do, when faced with information that challenges our worldview, is to consider whether we are right or not.
Oh I’m gonna watch that video when I have some free time. Always try to consider and educate myself on the other side ya know
I think it's great that youre willing to engage with content that challenges you. I think that you should think about some of the stuff you said today. What if I was a kid, what if children read your comments. What you said was very damaging and made others feel unsafe. Not just like an insult but actually like the threat of insitutional violence against people for who they are. That's really serious. You shouldn't want to make people afraid that they will be harmed because of who they are.
