you can’t understand their mind

This is what I find most bizarre... how often people will default to "Well, I don't understand why they'd be like that".

And I just am fascinated by the like... So what? Is that level of complete empathy required to be decent to folk?

I have no idea what it's like to be trans, how could I? I'm not trans. Am I meant to hate people who have lives different to mine? Isn't that endlessly exhausting?

But then I guess I have no idea what it's like to let your ego run so hot you believe that your own understanding is a gate that other's must satisfy before I treat them as people.
