Hypocrisy

I can see why people might justify their rude streak towards me as being commensurate with my statements about Chloe Swarbrick, but I'm about to deconstruct that. 1. I only read Chloe on Facebook. I don't have X.

2. Question Time is open to all people.

3. Even when I visited Auckland, it's not like I made it my mission to meet her. We did meet in Auckland during her 2023 campaign, but even then I was too shy to talk. 4. She's hardly the only person that I'm somewhat fixated on. In comparison to this panopticon that I've been living in since 2020: 1. People lied to me to glean personal information (that they threw in my face). 2. People gave me the impression that my legal rights weren't being respected. 3. People decided to mess with me via interactive porn. 4. People decided to tell me that I wasn't 'really trans' and behaved like bigots. - It's hardly apples and apples.
