Topic	REMINDER: "Super straight" is transphobia!
BDSMKane 05/28/24 10:27:38 AM #42:	Id also like to point out that not all phobias are solved by knowledge and education. Oftentimes a phobia can have a deeply rooted subconscious cause that can only be worked through with therapy. I have some phobias of different humans, and theyre by no means choice or based on ignorance. I dont believe Ive ever let most of them slip except my fear of babies; Ive had to confront a few times and its always been trivialized by others who find out. I suppose what I mean is, if someone has a phobia and they dont let it alter their treatment of other people in regular scenarios, then Im not sure its right to condemn them for it. During conflict or forced exposure, their phobia might slip out, and that can be a different story. But if you know someone does have a phobia to you as a person, it seems best to avoid confrontation when possible. Were really complex creatures, and generalized statements are inherently wrong. --- No matter our origin, we are all one family, we all share one planet, and we all need to feel loved and accepted. We are more alike than different. <cite>BDSMKane posted [p:980592606] in REMINDER: ...
