I'm not trans but I'm a feminine presenting man. Regardless, people can speak on whatever they want to, that doesn't mean they have anything of value to add though.
Tolerating intolerance is a nothing burger of a philosophical/linguistic debate. It literally stems from right wing trolls making jokes about the supposed "tolerant left" and for some stupid fucking reason troglodyte leftists feel the need to engage good faith with the statement, everytime it's brought up I just move on. It doesn't mean anything.
Someones an asshole if they are deliberately calling someone something they don't want to be called with the intention of bullying them. Intent matters more and in the above scenario the intent was clearly established to be adherence to a cultural norm, not to insult the person. It would be silly to go to Spain and be mad at them for not using preferred english pronouns even if it was made clear because like, they're just speaking their language. They don't mean anything by it. Any offence only exists in the mind of the offended.
Yeah we just disagree. I'm not gonna pretend I'm not more authoritarian than some people. I am very much in favour of a strong powerful government over a week one. And I do think that participation isn't universal and should be limited. I'm pretty confident in saying that most people agree on some level. Every democracy today has a minimum voting age, it's common for criminals not to be able to vote, citizenship is a requirement. All of these things can be viewed as authoritarian and elitist but i think that's okay and governments are better off for it.
Watched my first YouTube video in the shower the other day, it was about the afd party in Germany. Very informative I didn't know just how far right wing they were since I don't speak German and don't know a lot about their politics.
What a fucking dumbass, I'm gay and wear dresses all the time
