i've been thinking i should make something sort of like a disclaimer for people looking at my blog, not really sure what to call this exactly.
i know i reblog a lot of controversial takes, and i am generally aware of some of the common trans discourse on this site. i recognize the likelihood that i've probably agreed with various people's viewpoints that may even conflict with each other.
this isn't intended to be a discourse blog. i want to be clear that if i reblog controversial issues, it's not out of personal intention to be on the frontlines of one stance or another. it's typically instead because i have close people who i love dearly who i see being directly affected by an issue, and i find their reasoning for their feelings on the matter to be logically sound when they explain it to me, so i wish to support their voices.
i am not the most knowledgeable person on many community-spanning debates and i don't claim to be. i don't really blame anyone for blocking me but i at least want to make it clear that i do not wish or intend to harm anyone unduly by the viewpoints i reblog. the statements i support are always based on what i think is most beneficial to people i personally know who are struggling.
if you have the patience and desire to attempt to educate me on something rather than just cutting me off and moving on (as is also your right), i wish to be open. i can still be hardheaded, i can still be wrong, and i do still hold my own beliefs, but i do want to learn what knowledge i lack.
this post was made because someone close to me made me aware i'm marked red on shinigami eyes, for those curious. i'm not really surprised and i don't actually have much feeling about it at all, but it's a reminder that i am perceived by discourse whether i actively seek it out myself or not, and so it did bring to mind the desire to write this.
