In a professional setting grammatical errors like “me and you” are not corrected but definitely taken note of.

I think you've gotten a bit swept up into the wedge issue of it all, given your reference to "you and your ilk" as though we've any idea who the other is.


Ah so you can make inferences based on me saying "you and your ilk" but I can make none based on things you've said?

Are you generally supportive of trans rights? Because that is the assumption I made about you, was I wrong?

And I am 100% sure many people take note of his grammatical errors and hold less respect for him as a leader.

The expression "you and your ilk" has a certain connotation.

It is reflective of one's position, the expressions we use. Not simply assumptions, but the judgments we make.

Did you miss the part where I asked what the connotation was?

Seems weird to dodge that question and answer the second

If I replaced it with "you and people who are generally supportive of trans rights" would you be able to respond to the meat of the post or would you just find some other insignificant detail to focus on?
