Not you, the people you're citing. The people in the Harper's letter. The constant complaint from the conservative and the old that they just can't say anything (i.e., don't know how to argue for anything) are complaibts that they can't say things without people, usually people younger than them, interpreting what they are saying as denigrating, for example, trans people. Which is true, because what they want to say is, for example, denigrating trans people.

That's progress, not a problem.

You know that’s an absurd position, so rather than engage my point - that being open to discussion is preferable - you duck it.

Tell yourself whatever you need to, but you also need to consider that fact that some of us have been having these discussions with you for more than a decade and you come back with the exact same shit.

Of course I agree with the Harpers letter. The better question is, does anyone disagree? Do you disagree with that letter? If you do, by all means, please explain what logic you employ to take such a position.

Yeah, you'll be shocked that I have no sympathy at all for powerful people whining they get pushback on their bad ideas.
