Hey dogblr! New dogbook drama to distract us from the discourse!
Someone complained about the use of the word "training" and says we should say "teach" instead. Apparently training is a bad word now.

Sometimes “drama” is not actually drama. Sometimes it’s marginalized and abused people taking a stance against something harmful. The other side of that calls it “drama” and really wants you to see it as just “drama” so they can discredit the position of the marginalized and abused and make those people look like they are overreacting, when in actuality the marginalized and abused people are being reasonably defensive in the interest of their own safety and the safety of others like them. Nothing is ever just “drama” when it involves discussions of legitimate bigotry and human rights, and calling it such is a take I see almost exclusively from white people with some form of privilege. Just some food for thought.

Also if you find it acceptable to vague post and shame trans and queer people for walking away from a group that is actively hosting transphobic and homophobic people? You're being gross. Sit the fuck down. Just because YOU are okay with tolerating bigotry and putting yourself in danger doesn't mean other people are, and that is 100% fucking valid, full stop, every time a marginalized person makes that choice.
Shame on you for shaming them for walking away from something on the basis of bigotry being allowed tbh. That's some bigot behavior right there.

The safety of minorities is never, I repeat NEVER, less important than welcoming and "educating" bigots.
