Also not for nothing but if someone put the hastag #RespectfulConversation after saying that they, a straight woman, didn't feel safe sharing a changing room with lesbian women and so they wanted to ban you, I think you would see that it does nothing to make a disrespectful statement more palatable.

The pinned post reads like an "apolitical" dating profile. Thanks for the heads up.

"Just sharing thoughts. Open to disagreement. Not on any political team, really. Just about fostering open conversation. Open and inclusive for everyone. #RespectfulConversation"

Just hanging out. Nothing to see here. just having a chat with the gals. Nothing sus. Who said anything sus was going on? Just gal pals doing gal stuff. TERF you say? Never heard of her, is she a lesbian? Should we kill her? Disregard that. Gal pals!

Quoting to demonstrate dialogue, hopefully. Can see where you're coming from, but this isn't transphobic. It’s abt addressing the specific issue without dismissing anyone’s identity. Precise language helps us focus on the core of the discussion. #RespectfulConversation

Opinions are sparks, debates are the fire. 🔥 Let's engage with respect, learn from differences, and ignite positive change. #OpenDialogue #HealthyDebate #RespectfulConversation #GrowthMindset
