    I cannot decipher your actual stance.

    I can’t fathom why, when I’ve stated it multiple times in the clearest possibly English.

    Don’t out anyone. No exceptions.

    If you make exceptions then it’s you who is creating “rules for thee…”

      But if your oppressor is LGBTQ+ and oppressing you for being LGBTQ+ it is “rules for thee…”

      Tell me I’m wrong, you nut.

      Most importantly, in this case I don’t think we should be defending the rights of an oppressor over the rights of the oppressed.

      Edit:

      I could go on. The exact reason someone would not want to be outed is because of the social stigma created by the oppressor. So your stance is doubly absurd.

        Yes. He is "rules for thee…"ing you.

        But when you out him you become the one not abiding by your own rules. Twice. Once for the outing, because you don’t want to be outed. And again for not holding yourself to your own standard of not having rules that don’t apply to you.

        I don’t think we should be defending the rights of an oppressor over the rights of the oppressed.

        If you think that some people don’t deserve to have their rights protected, then you are the oppressor.
