Since discovering I'm trans I've shaken myself out of this hardcore "rational" mindset that I feel is poisoning the internet.

It's the moderate point of view that the marginalized needs to remain "civil" and shouldn't get overly emotional or say anything hyperbolic.

Every statement needs to be followed with multiple asterisks responding to every possible angle of your statement. All until everything boils down to tepid "bad things are bad" statements, or writing things off as "case by case".

It's this hyperdrive to remain unbiased to the point that taking any stance reveals your biased and you lose.

Our ability to sit around and debate all day like greek philosophers is a recent luxury that's drying up. We need to commit to action, and action requires strong emotional stances by the marginalized.
