   My friends are a diverse lot: some are communists, some are capitalists, some are libertarian, some are traditional conservatives.  Some are men, some are women, many are trans.  Some are homosexual, some are heterosexual.  I've never really been part of a specific group, unless you consider "people that are essentially outcast from proper society" a group.
   
   I don't care to discriminate based on values when it comes to that, rather, I discriminate based on how they treat me and the other people I care for, and anyone suggesting I do otherwise is not someone I care to listen to.  Words and labels aren't what matter; actions are.

      And, on queue, there come the antagonistic comments from Mastodon.  Sigh.

      When I was a child, my parents taught us that it wasn't whether someone was Black or White that matters, but how they treated us. This is probably why I'm not a traditional Black activist. I don't see the point in opposing racial / ethnic discrimination, but not when it affects people in a different group.
