    I’m sorry you had to expose yourself to that again but I don’t find that very triggering. First guy is religious so can’t you just discredit his opinion because he’s a nutjob?

      what are you disagreeing with here exactly? it’s transphobic and i left a respectful comment stating that as a warning for others and a request for better labeling going forward. do i need to justify my reaction to request that hatred be labeled? i don’t appreciate being told i should just brush it off

      i left the comment saying such because i think that hateful content should be marked as such, so that people can make informed decisions about if and when they interact with it. any given person may be able to handle such content on a good day or prefer to avoid it on another day. do you disagree that people should be given that choice?

      like, i could talk about my individual reaction, but it’s not really relevant to my making the post. i think that labeling content is fundamentally inclusive for everyone, because it’s not just trans people who might be triggered by it. maybe a cis guy didn’t feel like reading about how his fellow men are transphobic at that point in time, especially because he knows how bad society is and being reminded of it fucking sucks for him, too

      this is not a controversial take, i genuinely don’t understand why you’re meeting it with such dismissiveness. this community literally has a rule against bigotry, i don’t think asking it to be labeled is such a big deal
