ITT: A demonstration of the precise behavior OP is trying to warn against.
yeah. There's a difference between (for example) a transphobe screaming at you, and someone who doesn't fully understand all the terms but supports you being yourself. People in the comments are thinking it's more of the former than the ladder.
Perfection is the enemy of progress
I keep hearing people say this meaning "We need to let Republicans kill trans people". It seems to be a thought terminating cliche to pull out against anyone further left than the speaker.
As a trans person, that absolutely isn't how I or other leftists in the spaces I'm in use this phrase. It means to avoid letting disagreement over method or end goal distract from a common cause. Just because a candidate doesn't run for my specific brand of leftism doesn't mean I won't support them over a neoliberal opponent.

power doesn't care about feelings
Does this mean that power has to be handled with care because it threatens feelings
or
does it mean that it's ok to ignore feelings when it is possible to increase power?
This for everytime some one suggests an idea. It's not your job to snipe it because it's too lofty an idea. If it's a good idea, help hold it up.
