The eight most wonderful words you can say on the internet:

" I don't know enough to have an opinion."

Since many people are responding to me from various instances:

I'm obviously not saying you should be neutral/apathetic on transphobia, climate change, or other hot button topics. I'm not a climate scientist, but I listen to climate scientists and let them shape my views.

But because I'm not a climate scientist, if there was a technical question about the mechanics of climate change, I would defer to the experts.

@charliejane We need to learn better ways of talking in public about what makes someone an expert and how to figure that out when we don’t know enough for ourselves.
