(i’ll also crosspost this one in !lgbtq_plus@beehaw.org, since i’m not sure how much overlap our two communities currently have)
Okay but same though. Granted, I was always the type to just investigate everything (my poor dad had to take me to the library SO MUCH as a kid), but it’s definitely more urgent (??) now. It feels like you have to do the research just to be sure that you’re not on the wrong side of things.
I think as a society we need to get better at letting it be okay to say, “I don’t know” or “I’m not sure” or “I’d have to research this more first to have an opinion on it” or “I haven’t made up my mind yet.” Instead of Hot Take Extraganza Fight Time. I realize this is the kind of thing that’s much easier to say than to actually do at all, but nonetheless.
