    If you read all of the words I said its clear im not saying that gender is binary anyways.

    It’s pretty clear

    It was not clear… not to me and others too it seems. I quoted your removed comment because I was so confused. But I think we’ve already gone over that misunderstanding. Your modlog is public, and is usually what this community looks at, but I get the feeling it has reopened that wound, for that I am sorry. I have said things wrong as well and take the L from them, and learn from them. We are not perfect. Your explanations here were much better, thank you for explaining. I try not to be intentionally hurtful, but even I fail at that.

      It’s a weird thing but I think a lot of it has to do with the tone of voice you read it in, in your head… If I said those exact same words outloud it wouldn’t be an issue
      I’ve had it a lot where I say something plainly in a text but if there’s any disagreement, people think I’m fighting with them.
      So much is lost without facial expressions and intonation… and that’s something I could do much better with, especially when talking about things people feel very personal about.
      And especially if they’ve been feeling threatened over it by large swaths of society.
