The Comments Section, Part 5 (Opinion Bias)

In response to a post talking about "call-out" culture, and how it affects trans women:

I think if we lose the ability to listen to honestly stated differing opinions, we're not acting on behalf of true social justice, we're acting on behalf of our own personal vendetta.

There comes a point where we should ask ourselves whether we're acting in the best interests of actual social justice, or if we're acting out of revenge. If someone doesn't "get it", shunning them publicly does not help the issue. Trying to see their point of view in conversation so that they might see yours does.
