    I feel like I can do both severely criticize his actions while defending his sexuality. I can also be understanding about his wanting to write erotica or crossdress but not necessarily the way he went about it.

    I don’t have the patience for hateful bigots but there are aspects of this story that have historically been weaponized against us LGBT+ that need attention.

      Except you can’t. Compassion and help is a finite resource in this world, because we have a finite amount of time and resources to help people. Evey second you waste it on assholes, you’re wasting your time on earth.
