I think my position on that was made clear enough by my original post and my reply.

You might have been asking in entirely good faith, but the issue is that this "oh, can you please explain your point of view to me" approach is so extremely frequently presented in bad faith and costs so much energy from those who care about topics like this.

Ok. Your first linked article is taking issue with the Guardian for saying "If a lesbian only desires same-sex dates that’s not bigotry, it’s her right".

Your position is that you disagree with the Guardian here?

And your position is that I have to materially agree with every single sentence in any content that I link to to explain a situation?

I was giving you the benefit of the doubt, but it seems you're a debate-me-bro after all.

I wanted to know your perspective, and you told me to read the articles as they contained your perspective.

If you'd rather give me your perspective on HeartyBeast's comment than make me guess by playing 20 questions, it would really help things. I would much prefer that.

If you don't agree with the article, then why tell me to read them to get your perspective πŸ˜–

I'm doing my best based on the information you've given me.
