minus-squareAce T'Ken@lemmy.calinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·8 months agoYour definition isn’t accurate and doesn’t make sense in context. They don’t see being Trans as an inherent part of the person. By your definition, wanting to eliminate illiteracy would involve genocide against illiterate people; it’s one hell of a jump. Remember, you can’t properly fight your enemy if you don’t understand them.

minus-squareAce T'Ken@lemmy.calinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·edit-28 months agoWhat? This reads as nonsense to me, apologies. I didn’t comment on religion, and the illiteracy aspect was completely irrelevant to what I stated. It was purely an example. I think you misread what I said quite severely.

minus-squareAce T'Ken@lemmy.calinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·8 months agoIt does indeed seem like that’s the case. It seems to happen extremely frequently on Lemmy.
