"Please Mr. President, stop using these shootings as the face of gun control. There were 432 murders in Chicago last year. Tackle that. Make those murderers the face of gun control.

Stop fricking pretending that school shootings make any dent in the murders in this country. They don't. There were over 16,000 homicides in the US last year. This will make less than 0.1% difference this year. That doesn't help the families of the people who died here, but please tackle the real problem Mr. President."

You need to shut. the frick. up

Nope. My voice doesn't pass. I want it to - voice dysphoria is one of my biggest dysphoria aspects. I have it so badly I won't even speak because I can't bear to hear my voice not-passing.

I still know I have to push through that and try, if I really want it. And I will never be "narrates novels" levels of voice, but I will accomplish something.

And it will not be because of luck.

To put it a different way:

The satirical newspaper The Onion, which generated so many cultural touchstones and has driven so much cultural discussion and critique, was bought by private equity. Private equity began to saddle it with corporate death, wringing it of pennies, destroying it.

It has a new owner, now. That owner saw two groups discussing the problem.

One group said, That's Just The Way Of The World, Some Things Will Never Change

And the other said, "Son, don't you believe that".

One group wanted to endlessly critique; the other said "here's how this can change".

To put it another, another way:

9 years ago, a subreddit was created to tackle the rising tide of hate speech on Reddit. That subreddit collected a great deal of people who wished to complain anout this state of affairs, to slapfight with the transphobes and nazis, to wrestle (as they say) with the pig. For, as the common wisdom of the time held, "surely Reddit will never kick the Nazis off, despite our demands they should". Four years of complaints, with nothing to show for it.

5 years ago, I had a different idea, which was to hypothesise that maybe some people working at Reddit wanted to work at a general purpose internet social media corporation instead of the Breitbart comments section, and found a way - not by luck, gift, talent, intelligence, natural inclination, wealth, privilege, etc - only by hard work of research and dedication to a prospect of hope, did I map out a plan from "Reddit frontpages (sockpuppeted) terrorist hate speech every day" to "Reddit is home to genuine community and conversation".

Ask graphic artists, musicians, authors (not the wizard author), researchers, scientists, they will tell you the same thing.

No one ever achieved anything worthwhile by only trying once.
