We've been through this song and dance before, and know what we're doing. Read further through this post and you'll find a link I posted to a 3 year old thread detailing same/similar circumstances.

I agree with you on principle, you can't change what you can't control, but here we can control, and we don't need to accept others' slights

AND you can't fix stupid, but you CAN ban it!

You can also fix stupid, but they have to want to change. If it's someone drive-by-downvoting trans stuff, chances are they don't want to change.

I would imagine that stupid can't be fixed, because they'd be too stupid to be fixed. Those that can be fixed, wouldn't be stupid, but, instead, lost or confused. That's my take, anyway. Maybe I'm wrong.

Ehh everyone's capable of learning to some degree or another, it's not hard to be a decent person if you want to be vivian-shrug

That's true. If they want to change, and are willing to put in the work, they would be able to change. You have a nice view on the world, it seems, and I dig it.
