This is one of the first comments I have seen on lemmy that truly feels like old school reddit. You applied your professional knowledge to that fairly unkind commenter not only to correct them but also to express something many might not know!

Very cool of you keep it up champ :)

ah there’s our miscommunication! i am not arguing anything i just misunderstood at first and offered a possible solution/additional context

but i was wrong so i issued my apologies and asked for clarification :)

you stated there was something that was a problem with the reporting, and i inaccurately surmised that it had to do with trans people experiencing hate. what was it in reality?

i literally don’t know what you are talking about, lol. just asking for clarification because my initial reading was clearly wrong :)

well i am missing your point i guess, sorry. could you rephrase what you are saying ? im quite lost

edit: like what is “the problem” involved here? what are the journalists saying that is misleading?

ty!

absolutely true but Dolly Parton did not have to face transphobic harassment and violence

very very very important distinction

I’m not sure I am perfectly following you—what should the authors have said?

I am definitely mistakenly misreading you here, sorry for the inconvenience!

(significantly edited to reflect my intent; also if any others could help me out, i don’t mean to bug this person and annoy them)

where do you cite this five grade model?

the world health organization is not quite in line with you here (CW, hopefully obvious explicit discussion of mutilation) thanks !

this should hilight to us the outsized effect transphobia has on discourse.

if we were to believe the line that “we’re just concerned about people getting mutilated” we must naturally expect to see that 97% margin of outrage at breast implants, hair implants, weight management surgery etc. for cis folk.

and we don’t. here and there you might hear an evangelical getting upsetti spaghetti avout Ozempic et al but transphobic talking points dominate, in vast disproportion to actual individual cases.

you discovered the importance of multiple non-associated fact checking institutions holding one another accountable :)

genuinely i used to subscribe to the same theory

and then it switched. i think they’re here genuinely. not even sure what happened to change my mind. your mileage may vary? but i get where you are coming from.

i feel like druids, if forced to pick a side, might be on the side favoring protecting nature :)

wait i love this theory and hate it so much it just might be correct

If it causes lasting damages they will and should be prosecuted for exactly what happens. I’m hoping they did their due diligence but hey, if not that was dumb as hell of them and they should pay for it.

Again though, the sentiment remains that people are going to die. That damage is also irreparable and far less redeemable. I support this kind of action.

dude im not trying to be clever i just don’t like people telling me what i believe. do you?

my quarrel is with people who tell me what my real quarrel is thank you very much. edit: that includes status quo liberals telling activists how to fight for a livable future and you telling me who i am upset at.

i have no opinion on the headline or who believes it. please do not tell me what i believe.

yknow what fuck it, i support this. i was a little on the reactionary side back when they were throwing soup,

but after seeing hundreds of comments saying “just do <insert violent felony> if you want something done” and then seeing those same people turn around and say “but safely blocking streets in protest is an affront to my rights, stop being annoying”

…i get it now. it’s cornstarch and will wash off. calling for “optics” is just concern trolling. people are hearing about it. that’s the point. fuck oil. keep up the messaging. people are going to starve and drown and bleed from war caused by climate change. we are gonna survive a few people yeeting nonpermanent shit at public art.

yes, exactly what i am referencing :)
