It's so difficult to get cis people to understand the jk Rowling thing isn't that she doesn't like us so you should punish her. It's if you give her franchise any kind of support you are contributing to trans people being excluded from society

The misinformation about the sneaky chat control 1.0 vote is even worse than the rejection of it failing (considering it was already status quo).
People get fooled by the inverted phrasing on both sides of the argument.

Mooi nieuws dat de overname nu geblokkeerd is, dat was de uitkomst waarop we hadden gehoopt.
