Would you have made that observation and pointed it out if they were not trans?

I am inclined to rather point out remarkable things than unremarkable things. There seems to be relatively many trans people in this niche.

If I see a soil that is unusually rich in iron, I would be more inclined to point that out. If I come across a piece of soil that is as average as the 98% of the surrounding lands I wouldn't be less likely to point out "hey look, this soil is unremarkable average."

Also, it was just an aside from me. It is unclear what your problem is exactly, and I am also not sure if a tech forum could provide counsel for that.

  • Man that's such a terrible analogy. In your analogy of course you wouldn't point out the normal soil because it didn't do anything remarkable. But in this case people did do something remarkable (unrelated to their attributes) but it feels like you only pointed out certain attributes about them because they were trans. In fact your analogy is a great illustration of one of the critiques that a lot of people have with the DEI movement because you are saying that you would point out the soil simply for having specific attributes rather than what it actually achieves.

    So now you are making this personal and trying to say that I have some sort of problem? That's very interesting and I think you might be projecting here a little bit
