imo it’s not a question of whether Platner is sincere, but why, even if he is sincere, he thinks he is the right leader in this place and moment.

For example: I sincerely believe in liberation for LGBTQIA+, black liberation, etc; but, seeing as I don’t fit those categories, I understand it would be inappropriate for me to take up the mantle of leadership for those causes. I’m relegated to a support role, and that’s ok.
