I was there, I saw the thread. @TheDude, did you? It was pretty strongly in favour. Do we really need to keep waiting around to see if an instance administrated by a guy who wants to declare "cis" a slur is going to turn out okay?

You having those friends doesn't mean you're not sheltered if you live in a place where it's not happening as much.

You mentioned the southern states so you know what's going on it just isn't in your face or affecting you, hence "sheltered".

Well I've heard a lot worse from other continents, but call me sheltered if you want, miss my pont, that's fine. No I don't have a non-binary kid in the states, that sounds rough, I'm sorry.

All I'm saying is maybe on place like this with clearly more diverse viewpoints (a good thing) I'm mindful on how the "other side" might read those words and take the problem less seriously as a result.

I hope your kid is doing well and that you both stay safe.
