Wanted to call this out.
I don't think anyone has argued that hate mail is good. Hate mail is bad.
I think many people agree that anyone who causes a public scene will get hate mail. Many also lack sympathy for people who bring hate mail upon themselves through malicious and/or unprofessional actions. I think these people would also agree that it's sad her minority status gave mean people easy ammunition to use against her in the hate mail they sent.
What else is there to say? Both parties received hate mail, one likely moreso than the other, as a direct result of her choice to take to Twitter to lie and shame him.
What does constantly bringing it up prove? What's the solution? What's the desired end result of the discussion? That we all forgive and excuse her?
Query:
Is your suggestion that we excuse or forgive her based on stupidity, or dishonesty? Because I've explicitly - more than once - stated that she did wrong and created a bad situation. So either you're willfully ignoring what I'm saying, or you didn't have the sense to read the discussion that you attempt to participate in.
What value is there in ignoring the hate mail? What value is there in dismissing very specific hate mail? Should we not address any transphobia because otherwise it just somehow amounts to a blanket defense of any transgender person for anything they have done or will do?
The hate mail is not for her lies, as you very specifically lied about. She received an abundance of hate mail before anyone gave evidence that she was lying. The hate mail exists because of what she was and the fact that she was putting herself in the public eye. As I've said multiple times, if the hate mail came AFTER she was outed, it would at least make sense. I could at least understand - not condone, but understand - why the hate mail occurred. But it didn't. So I'm sorry if you are so chronically unable to understand why a recurring theme of transgender people being targeted for being transgender in the public eye is a serious problem that needs to be addressed as such every time it happens.
