What are you talking about?
>"I gave examples".
>"I've literally never been to one. It's all second hand".
Second hand from whom, exactly?
Edit: And imagine saying "The things I've seen" only to backtrack immediately afterward and cry about "cherrypicking". So yes, it is Big Boomer Energy to cry about "cherrypicking" when someone asks you to provide even 1 example after you literally claim to have seen examples. Why not just admit that you're ignorant on what happens at such reading events? It's not like there's a score system in PaRD.
i literally led my post off by admitting i haven't personally been to one, so you want me to say it again?
second hand from a few sources, media stories, podcast hosts, and a few personal friends. do you want them cited in MLA or APA?
another post from the "tolerant left", i literally say your rapist boogeyman is worse but that i'd like to keep an eye on this, but it isn't enough.
no one learns about masturbation from books, so we can get rid of all of them right? no issues from you?

It isn't the left bringing these things into the spotlight. It's Republicans using another minority boogeyman to the forefront and the left fighting back.
"this is actually really helpful for all kids even cis kids" followed up by "this is the right's fault". what?
im more than willing to blame the right for the hyperbolic state we're in on trans issues in america. but i maintain that its made worse by unwillingness to give ANY ground. most of what "the right" wants is indeed unreasonable, but the left should do IMO a bit better job at shouting down some of the batshit stuff from their side. not because it's effectual in reality, but because the absurdity poisons the water for many people who just want to be left alone.
