The genuine man will not agree to recognize any foreign absolute. When a man projects into an ideal heaven that impossible synthesis of the for-itself and the in-itself that is called God, it is because he wishes the regard of this existing Being to change his existence into being; but if he agrees not to be in order to exist genuinely, he will abandon the dream of an inhuman objectivity. He will understand that it is not a matter of being right in the eyes of a God, but of being right in his own eyes. Renouncing the thought of seeking the guarantee for his existence outside of himself, he will also refuse to believe in unconditioned values which would set themselves up athwart his freedom like things.

Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free

Possibly unpopular opinion, but I would so much rather have someone stumbling with using the right words, or pronouns, or whichever, while genuinely trying to understand an issue or a person, than have people who don’t dare ask questions and keep their misconceptions in their heart and to themselves.

But is the nature of civilization “speed”? Or is it “consideration”? Any animal can rush around a corral four times a day. Only a human being can consciously oblige himself to go slowly in order to consider whether he is doing the right thing, doing it the right way, or ought in fact to be doing something else. . . . Speed and efficiency are not in themselves signs of intelligence or capability or correctness.
