Why isnt it warranted? The people responding with hostility are literally under attack by one of the two political parties in the US. WHY is our defensiveness not warranted?

So you are going to take your toys and go home because people are pushing back against you and you can’t defend yourself. Poor you. Just admit that you don’t know much about the topic and vow to do better with better information.

Defend myself from what? Open hostility that is completely unwarranted? What stance do you think I am defending? This is literally "OMG YOU DARE ASK A QUESTION YOU FUCKING PSYCHO" and frankly, yes, I am done even bothering trying to find honest opinions on how to solve an issue. At least here. Enjoy your downvote brigade nonsense. And good luck having open and honest conversations in the future. Try leaving your anger at the door next time.
P.S. Asking the questions is trying to get the information. As a teacher you should understand that.

Ahahaha, dude. As a long time teacher I can smell bullshit a mile away. And as a teacher I’m going to call it out when I see it.
TopDeckHero420 t1_j2dtus3 wrote
What bullshit? You read my original question. It was quite literally "this is complicated, there is nuance, what can be done to help the parents, students, teachers, and kids caught in the middle" and that's bullshit? Really?

No your hostile and angry responses are unwarranted. You don’t seem to understand the reason behind the initial pushback. Instead of trying to understand WHY that might be you doubled down on your responses and got very flouncy and defensive (“I won’t make the mistake of asking questions again!”). Are you truly interested in a solution or are you merely throwing out “just asking questions” rhetoric? Because as a skilled teacher I interpreted your question as the latter.

You haven't answered anything I have asked. Not a single thing.
Everything I have asked is about the issue at hand and you insist on making it about me personally when there is absolutely zero reason to do so.
A "skilled teacher" wouldn't come into a conversation with an assumption about someone and their motives, especially when nothing said has given any indication of what you are assuming.
Peachy33 t1_j2dvlaf wrote
I didn’t come to an assumption based on nothing. And I don’t really owe you any answers do I?

Like I said, I now understand that asking questions here is futile.
Peachy33 t1_j2dwhzg wrote
Asking questions and actually seeking responses is one thing. Becoming hostile when several people have explained to you why your questions seem suspicious and not in good faith is another.
TopDeckHero420 t1_j2dwzgm wrote
The only responses I got to the initial question was hostility. So yeah, it's futile. I didn't become hostile, I was the target of it.
You don't know anything about me. You don't know that I've had arguments with my "churchy" family members about the rights that same sex couples should have and how the church is intolerant. You don't know that I fully support people being who they are. But I also know that the solution is likely going to be difficult and complicated and I fucked up by asking how that can even be accomplished.
But you carry on assuming. I am done.
Peachy33 t1_j2dydqe wrote
Jesus Christ, you are the target of hostility? Persecution much?
Also, why did you delete your questions if they were in good faith and you were interested in answers?
TopDeckHero420 t1_j2dz2bm wrote
Oh give me a break. I don't feel persecuted at all. Confused, yes. And they were deleted because as I have reiterated many times, it's futile and all it does is invite people to dogpile on just to get internet points without even trying to address the actual questions at hand. The exact thing you are doing.
Peachy33 t1_j2dzg8a wrote
None of my initial responses were hostile or confrontational. You chose to feel victimized here. I can repost all my responses to you to refresh your memory. You only got angry and defensive when you got some pushback. Do better.
TopDeckHero420 t1_j2dzils wrote
Please stop assuming. You have no idea what I feel.
You are just trying to win some snark contest that you are the only one participating in.
Peachy33 t1_j2dzmxl wrote
I’m responding to your words and what you put out there, dude.
I’m not looking to win any sort of contest. There was zero snark in any of my initial responses. I responded honestly and you decided to go off the deep end with “I’m not fucking Fox News” as a response to me. What exactly in my post warranted THAT kind of response? And instead of recognizing your misstep you doubled down and defended yourself and then ran off.
Just calling it like I see it.
TopDeckHero420 t1_j2e077i wrote
What did I put out there? That I asked a question and people thought it was an attack when it was "how do we address these complicated issues so that everyone feels comfortable with the solution"? That was quite literally it, and not a single person ever even tried to understand that.
And with that I am done. You can have the last word, I don't care. Maybe in time you will realize that assuming a question is an attack was wrong. Maybe not. Doesn't matter to me. I just hope when a kid in your class raises their hand and asks something difficult that you don't assume it's coming from hate when it's not.

“Many perspectives are skewed due to the rampant misinformation spewed by homophobes on Fox News and other garbage shitheads. If they didn’t scream like howler monkeys about how scary trans people are lurking around the dark shadows of public bathrooms hoping to prey on your children would anyone even worry about this issue? It’s been manufactured to further demonize and “other” a group of people who just want to live their lives.”
My comment about why perspectives are skewed. Your response was “I’m not fucking Fox News”. Why was your response so angry? Did I imply that YOU were disseminating misinformation?
And stop saying “I’m done”. Lol clearly you aren’t.
Edited to add: you deleted your comments because you can’t stand by them. Otherwise you would leave them up.

When one side just wants to go pee in the bathroom that doesn't fill them with dread, and the other side doesn't even want you to exist as a human being, letalone exist in public- what possible compromise to make everyone comfortable could there be?
