I really fucked up

[maevele]

by conflating men with 'peen' in my post about the manthology, and i hurt people i care about, and unthinkingly went with some transphobic shit.

and I'm really fucking sorry, and thanks to those who pointed out how i fucked up. I'm going to take some time to think about how I was an asshole. I thought I knew better, and obviously I don't, so i need to work on that.

I think you are a smart, thinking person and we all have said/done things that we just weren't thinking about clearly.

I think none of us are all done and all clueful and we all just have to keep learning new stuff, which may hurt others and/or ourselves, but it's better than just sitting back and politely not engaging and never learning anything.

I have said/done stupid, faily shit and I assume I will continue to do so, because I am white, and hetero, and cis, and (now) middle-class. I think it comes with the territory, and there's nothing we can do but just keep trying.
