Please Stop Genderlocking Gear

I'm comparing what you say now to how you entered the conversation; if you don't want people to be silenced, which I agree with, you shouldn't tell them to stop talking about politics, or to stop responding to political arguments. I also agree communication can resolve disagreements and share new perspectives if done right, but that's different than "let's leave out politics." If you're getting at "let's be less inflammatory and more relevant to the thread topic," I agree, but I wish you would say it better.

The reason I think your heterophobia comment is unserious, is because you said it happened in this thread, which it didn't.

The problem with politics I think is most people won't be able to understand what others have experienced, and that should be fine if people can objectively put themselves in others shoes, or ask questions in a friendly fashion to find out why someone else thinks something. (This would actually be great) but unfortunately it isn't common, it can become unpleasant or like no common ground is found. Perhaps it was a bit harshly worded, this thread had a lot of arguing between people when I mentioned that it was tiring to see politics.

Some people did laugh at me when I mentioned something that other people can face, that was why I mentioned it (I can't remember if it was this thread or the one before this that was removed). If people haven't experienced something, all they have to do is ask someone where they experienced it or why they believe it, I think it'd go a long way and both people could come away learning something new. Any who I hope you have a good evening, no hard feelings.

That's fair, and I appreciate you being receptive to what I'm saying. Some people are just looking to troll, but if it's worth anything, I don't think you're one of them. No hard feelings here either.
