then why don't you block me and be done with it?Because I am not an all-or-nothing type of person. Discourse, even if heated, is valuable. Not just to you or me, but to witnesses and outsiders.
I really do not appreciate your framing and your apparent unwillingness to engage in genuine discourse. You call marginalized and mentally ill people names, which pains to see me, because you are apparently able to do that and sleep well at night.
The only one currently throwing a tantrum is yourself. I could now be extremely cynical and say "you're just another cisgender person on Mastodon that expects transgender individuals to accept the way you behave unconditionally, or to exclude themselves from all discourse unconditionally"
However, that would be fucking ridiculous, no? Think about that.
