Inviting Chaya Raichik, the woman behind #LibsofTikTok, to CPAC is "a gesture of contempt towards every teacher, every medical provider, and every other American who cares about making the world a kinder and safer place,” @AriDrennen told me.https://t.co/4ZzMJXEm8T

Doesn’t LibsOfTikTok just repost other people’s videos? It holds a mirror up to people who don’t like what they see and all they can think of to do is to hate mirrors and the people who hold them.
As I post this, the tweet is getting ratioed at more than a 10-1 clip.
I’d like to think this means that many people are getting as sick as I am of this “I hate you because you’re not as kind as I am” mental malfunction.
Also sick of “People who cannot be expected to parrot opinions I hold myself should not be allowed to speak.”
Now try to make sense of the first sentence of the story. Why does being queer require help from a doctor? Why does it require help from a teacher?
I knew some queers in high school. They weren’t treated any differently than anyone else and as far as I know didn’t expect to be.
