This is so disgusting??? Look at this reach!!! Imagine thinking marginalized people fighting for respect is the same as DONALD TRUMP AND WHITE SUPREMACY??! Imagine thinking this is "dogma" or "coercion" to ask to be treated as human beings and not thought experiments?!
INTOLERANT CLIMATE?!?! intolerant of what?!?! your racism and transphobia?! Are you people out of your goddamn minds?! Also you can write whatever you want, and we can tell you it sucks. You're not exempt from the people you're writing about telling you that you suck?!
There is no rule that you can write whatever you want and then everyone has to like it?!?!? You write something transphobic and you get a reaction and then you get to stand by it, you fucking cowards. You don't write a whole letter like STOP BEING MEAN ABOUT MY RACISM
https://harpers.org/a-letter-on-justice-and-open-debate/ ARE YOU PEOPLE INSANE?! You write something no one likes, you face consequences!!! You're not being censored? You can write your dumb thoughts and then readers can say this is dumb? Do you want to write things everyone praises and be exempt from criticism?
Baby if ya'll think these are unspoken or censored ideas or that these aren't what-ifs and topics the people you're writing about have faced for their entire lives, I've got about 10000 years of history to show you
THEY ARE NOT SILENCED OR WISHED AWAY. They are around us all the time, you just have the privilege of being like perhaps I'm the first writer ever to think of this. JESUS CHRIST. This is so much pseudo-intellectualism just to say you hate POC and trans people. Just say that.
dId YoU eVeN rEaD tHe LeTtEr? Mama, I read it and it is garbage and everyone on it should be mortified. You can write whatever you want, and the audience gets to decide if they like it or not. If you're being fired or facing consequences maybe the problem is.... you.
