    Yes and no. The user’s pfp is of a white cis-passing woman. Some of this feels like it could potentially be dismissive of microaggressions about race or transgender status. Especially the “harsh words are violence” line. However I do think words like gaslighting are becoming overplayed. I had a very autistic argument about trains a while back and got told I was gaslighting them for disagreeing.

      with respect: this is as opposed to a not very autistic argument about trains? I’m pretty sure all arguments about trains are extremely autistic. Source: I have autism, and while not my thing, I know train enthusiasts who sometimes talk about their hobby.

      Good God, I never thought someone could have such hard opinions on British rail schedules from the 1980s.
