@levelsio Yep :( Nobody dares to express any opinions on Twitter anymore that even slightly deviate from the dogma. People simply can't risk it because in 2021 it not only means a few mean tweets in response, it could mean being ostracized at work, missing a promotion, getting fired etc.

@MarisaKabas 💯💯💯 Good reminder that most identities are complex. It's not all black and white, despite Twitter's best efforts to flatten everything into stupidly simple binaries
