iridescent-enby asked: Hi! I read your III & IV writings, as well as some of your more recent posts, and I have to say that I greatly appreciate that you were brave enough to say that stuff. You nailed 100% what I've been struggling to articulate about why SJ culture sucks and I find so triggering. I *knew* I couldn't be the only one with those feelings, but I haven't come across anyone who has put it out there so eloquently. There isn't enough nuance and that is a huge problem. Thanks for pointing that out.

I’m glad I could be of any help with that.  I feel like there’s a lot of us out there who see something wrong, but not everyone is willing or able to say anything about it or explain why.  And unfortunately if you aren’t able to explain why, you generally just get ignored or assumed to be anti-SJ.  Those things can happen even if you do explain, but the better you explain, the more like that at least some people will realize you’re communicating in good faith.

Notes:
