@beardalaxy @LukeAlmighty My own views have changed quite a lot over the past few years, and a part of that is because I hadn't bothered to think through some of them in a while. The more viscerally grotesque things like transgenderism I was never on board with, but I had a lot of liberal ideological thought terminating points to get through. Sometimes it takes people challenging—even bullying—to look more critically into things you just took as true and hadn't revisited. Thankfully nobody pays me for my takes, so I can do this without appearing to be a shill or chameleon, and I've discovered what a lot of my actual beliefs and lines in the sand are from arguing.
