I think the emergence of centre ground rationalist trans-writers on this space is very much needed. There are strong feelings everywhere, but these don't always lead to the best discussions, the best questions or the best answers. I think the discussion needs to be centred around mutual respect for disagreement.

People will block you. I get blocked all the time - pay it no heed. It's a shame, because I think you would've answered his questions - and I'm looking forward to reading your answers to the reasonable questions. His loss not yours. In the meantime though keep on keeping on and banging out the quality introspective pieces.
