    I’ve seen you around enough to trust you don’t mean anything bad, but I want to let you know that people are going to assume you’re transphobic if you say something like that. I find myself unable to explain why, but I can say that it’s important to highlight marginalized groups individually, to help make sure we’re not in a “drop the T” kind of situation.

      It definitely reads a bit like someone responding to black lives matter with “umm actually, ALL lives matter”

      Not saying that’s the intention, just that’s how it’s gonna come off to some people.

        Really? I mean don’t underestimate other people’s ability to analyze and recognize another user’s behavior. There’s no malice behind it, but obviously if a user sees the same username in comments over and over it’ll be a person they recognize and can somewhat have expectations for.
