Wow. I feel bad about blocking someone and especially about what I said when I blocked them and I come back to this.

You misgender me. You imply that I'm actually pro this fetal rights shite even though I was quite clear I'm not. Damn.

Okay. Let's rewind.

Someone comments with the "life begins at conception" shtick. I'm being civil even though I strongly disagree with them because I don't know what the reason for the statement is; maybe she had several miscarriages and can no longer understand why anyone would abort a pregnancy. Or religious. Or deluded. Or whatever. Point is, I don't know so I don't go in full rabid attack mode.

But you do attack. And once again, I don't know the reason so I *ask* you politely to be civil. You respond by attacking me. The fuck? Implying I should shut up because I don't have a uterus (of which I'm painfully aware, thank you)? This angers me. A lot. So I block you, but not after doing a bad thing. The "suck my block filter" is not appropriate and for that I apologize.

Then, after unblocking you in preparation for said apology, I find this reply. Wow.

I try to be a good person, I really do. It's why I tend to at least try to understand someone's perspective, even when I strongly disagree. But it's hard sometimes. It's so easy to just attack and I really try not to because I want to be better than that. But rage sometimes gets the better of me; it's one of the reasons I ask people to remain civil when responding to my posts in this way. That can be construed as tone policing (I prefer "moderation"), but sometimes one just wants to keep the comments in a positive post, well, positive. Feel good things about a feel good post.

So could we start again? Hi, I'm Sydney; a transgender woman and definitely pro choice. I fully agree with your sentiment about fetal rights being stupid, I just believe that the way you convey it is counter productive because of the rage and pain it can generate.
