What I want to know is who thought it was a good idea to give the kid who ate rocks at recess for attention an international platform. Hmm?

Is this a meme I don't know?

Zuck is extraordinarily intelligent. You don't get into Harvard as a non legacy eating rocks.

Nor did anyone give it to him. He took it by cheating the partners that made Facebook grow in it's early years.

For example I have ADHD, autism and BPD.

I thought it's widely-agreed that gender dysphoria is a mental illness. The debate lies in how to treat it—try to realign the body with the mind or the mind with the body.

Okay 🤷‍♂️

EDIT They can say whatever they want. But so can you. So where's the problem?

The problem is that people are vulnerable to disinformation and now there is little to no pushback on these platforms.

In a world where people are expert critical thinkers with no biases and perfect rationality it wouldn't matter, but that isn't how people work in the slightest.

The problem is that people want to censor what they don't want to see for others.

"If I don't like it, then neither should you."
