Yoko's Asterisk 🏳️⚧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.

Daring to admit you’re not an expert is brave sometimes and polite almost always
But you’re obviously not implying people are supposed to shut up when it’s important 🙄
Nobody has to fully understand the mechanics of an atrocity to oppose it
I can’t take apart and reassemble many kinds of gun, but if someone is shooting up kids in the classroom, I’ll help push the cops out of the way and break the door down
