whenever it comes to identities you dont understand and you want to understand, its bad to come out of the gate with "this thing doesnt make any sense to me, how can you POSSIBLY be a he/him lesbian, he/him are MALE pronouns." because youre making it clear to whoever youre speaking to that youre coming not from a place of wanting to learn but instead from a place of reactionary confusion.

Maybe I don't have good sources, but I'm definitely not getting what went on last night in #Minneapolis. Somebody shot somebody else and there's been one death and a few injuries. Police intervened on the scene, but it seemed till few days ago they were not operative (refusing to 'work', dismantled, reformed?). They are not communicating the identity of people involved. There must be videos, the area was crowded. Where are they? What are police hiding? Are they afraid of riots and, in that case, why? What's going on in their headquarter right now?
