  You can choose the impact of the statement, I know it’s intent. As would any reasonable person.

    Leaving things borderline unambiguous like this is how transphobes speak. If you’re not, I don’t recommend mirroring them.

      You’re ignoring context and nuance as a way to be offended. You’re the one that needs to get over yourself lmfao.

        The context being? A. The person is behaving in an abhorrent way B. The person is identifying as trans C. A & B

        Which is it?

        Funny when a person acts badly, some people always have to bring up additional labels.

        They’re bad, and gay. They’re bad, and a Jew. They’re bad, and a muslim. Etc.

        You are just showing your own bigotry. Lmfao.

  And I wouldn’t recommend defending Chris chan who is a horrid person who uses their labels to attack others and to hide from repercussions.

  It makes you look like a biggot.

    If you think identifying transphobia is to defend Chris, you’re the problem.

      Please explain why or how this identifying of transphobia is not directly an attempt to defend Chris, IN THIS CONTEXT, to someone who is autistic. Some people aren’t hardwired for policing language or having their language policed, and I think that you are using your best methods you know, but tone of a written message often comes across in whatever way is most convenient to a given reader, which is what I think might be some source of the problem. Could you format your statement that went along the lines of “don’t mirror transphobic language if you don’t want to appear transphobic” in a way that uses the words “should” and “if” in the same sentence? I find that such a structure often addresses matters of internal opinion without presenting an imposing presence to the conversation.

    Nobody is defending Chris from what I’ve seen.

    They’re merely pointing out that including “trans” in the list of negative traits about Chris makes OP appear transphobic.

      Hmmm, you’re presenting as autisphobic, this is problematic.

      You just couldn’t type that out, could you? Too afraid of autism. Sad.

        Well, I guess I deserve that one. :-)

        I focused on trying to calmly explain the problem of lumping negative traits together with other traits, and failed to list all of them. I guess I thought it would be apparent for the readers, but that’s on me.
