Well..I get insistence. There are things that matter so much to me, for example... that being wrong about some fact won't alter that fact. At that point, though, it would seem to serve the purpose that a person can accept being wrong about a thing and still maintain that sense of importance regarding another thing.
Just to use a concrete example..... Dave chappelles trans friend story is pretty great. The guy is sitting on a mark twain award, we can give him credit as a satirist, as a humorist. My favorite part is, on a surface reading, perhaps the most hateful. The line "boundaries bitch, I'm transphobic" is brilliant. Its uncomfortable in the same way that tom sawyer or the war prayer would have been to audiences of their own time. Its probably true that, beset on all sides by opposition...some friendly fire comes out of the trans camp. Nothing that huggy so insistently got wrong needs be right for that to be true. That one person can end a rough story with the comment "I knew your father, and he was a hell of a woman"...or casually mention that it takes one human person to recognize another human persons experience is bubbling right there at the surface of outrage. Are there times when the lgbtq community and other communities which might otherwise be aligned and have similar experiences are at cross purpose? Probably. Even if that isn't down to klansmen bankrolling the movement.
@Huggy Bear
Trying to help..but, by all means, take a shot and prove me right. : shrugs : I think that you're an idiot in so many ways...but even by your own previous comments, you and I see the field of play with regards to race in similar ways. For all of the bullshit in this thread about shadow cabals, the forces at work pitting you against everyone else barely see the point of hiding their intentions..and yet here you are, as you are, espousing what you do. I don't think that anyone in this thread needs to consider the motivations of the people who bankroll their favorite flavor of propaganda more than you.
You're being had, picking fights where you could find friends.
