If you wanna make broad generalizations about large groups of people with diverse beliefs, you don’t get to turn around and exclude another group from broad generalizations just because you’re included in it.
Just wanna add in case people haven’t encountered these nuanced interactions: my cousin and her husband are both atheists that think being gay is a choice and trans people are mentally ill. Religious beliefs or lack thereof don’t guarantee someone will be ethically or morally upstanding
You can upload literally anything on this site and it’ll be downvoted. Sometimes even for the content, usually just because creeps will go back through your history and downvote everything you’ve posted for a week or two.
You were there? It’d go a long way were you to provide proof.
The wiki page is a famous illustration of how it’s absurd to put the burden of proof on the people who are disapproving and it should always fall on people making the claim.
Despite your down votes I agree with you. I’m always conflicted about voting on something that appears to be clearly deceiving so usually I abstain from voting entirely but someone who cares more about this can easily justify a down-vote.

Transphobic people.
AND islamophobic people.
I imagine the downvoters assume the post is making a point about Muslims in general, which it isn’t.
It isn’t Islamophobic thinking Muslims are transphobic, they are. Much like most of the world outside the West.
Is this trans friendly West in the room with us currently?
Also countries like Thailand are culturally much more advanced on Trans acceptance.

Westerners are transphobic.

I’m not worried about it, though.
I apologize for the downvote. I agree with you, it just felt like the right thing to do. :p
That’s what happens when you mention downvotes. It primes people mentally to do it. The good news is these are completely meaningless internet points.
Cool
Yep. It happens to me pretty much daily on an alt. And although I know who’s doing it- there’s not a mod willing to do anything about it.
Because it didn’t happen.

How is some meme forum relevant to who has the burden of proof?
