    If you left out calling them a dingbat your point is exactly the same.

      Transphobic shit bags are seeking out stories about Nex and seeing what they can get away with because they know it’s a really good opportunity for them to grind salt into some peoples’ wounds

        Once again. Calling people names didn’t reinforce your point. It usually does the opposite. Your anger doesn’t make your point more poignant.

          Your politeness doesn’t make you more right.

            I’m not saying anything other that calling people names doesn’t accomplish anything. I have zero contempt for anyone holding anyone back from who they are. I am literally not on any side and simply pointing out that calling people names does not seem mature and puts people off. If you can’t handle that feedback that is your problem.
