I hate ‘purity tests’ within environmental activism. I think many feel they can’t live this pious hair-shirt existence, so think why bother at all?

We need everyone on board. We need to be welcoming, encouraging and supportive to all.

There is so much work to be done, we can’t be quibbling over lipstick.

We all share this planet.

Mate . . . trans people don't actually need cis people to explain that their rhetoric is too extreme. If you want a loaf of bread, you have to demand a bakery, because if you ask for a loaf, you'll get maybe one slice.

We want self ID and informed consent, so we ask for "Hrt over the counter and for free."

Its really not necessary to assume we're uninformed.

The OP is talking about something like what's described in 'The Tyranny Structrelessness' but you're discussing an ally telling the impacted group to ask for less. These are quite different scenarios.

I'm sorry you had a bad experience, but your intervention was not an example of being a good ally. Sometimes you've got to just be be quiet while the kids are demanding an unrealistic, better world.

So they're all blocked because all they did was curse and accuse me of enjoying their tit shots. I'm a nurse. Don't care about naked bodies.

I did ask them if their "shoot first and ask questions later" was working for them, but I guess it's so much fun to insult people that they didn't consider

what possible environmentalist motivation could have they had for treating her that way? or was it just sexism?
