"What's the point of this?"
I genuinely believe that most people who hold harmful beliefs do so out of a misguided desire to be good. For those people, having their cognitive biases challenged in a safe space can be the vital opportunity needed to allow self-examination. I want to provide that space.
If you're here it may be because you strongly disagree with something I've said. I don't think that makes you a bad person. I want to provide the opportunity to talk honestly about our views and hopefully we'll both learn something from it.
As an older, queer, feminist activist, I'm very concerned with the rapid rise of radical feminism (also called TERF) views among young people. To me, it's very obvious that radfeminism in all forms is harmful and should be spoken against strongly.

I'm an adult activist with degrees in ethics, US law, and logic.
Stances I am likely to engage on:
Good Faith Identifications are not only valid, but their acceptance is vital to progressivism (i.e. support of bi lesbians)
"Anti-ship" and queer exclusionism rhetoric has strong ties to radical feminism (better known as TERFS).
We must either accept all types of trans/nb folks, or we accept none of them (e.x. xenogenders, neopronouns, multigender folks, etc)

Conversations may end immediately if there is:
An ad hominem attack (name calling)Threats or self-harm baitingIf the conversation breaks down such that it feels like "talking to a brick wall" (once again, this can go both ways. If you feel like you can't get anything out of our discussion, by all means step away)
Your Privacy:
If you send a DM, your identity will be kept a secret. Nothing you say will be attributed to you publicly or privately.
