@RedRoseTwoHands @bnottall @Xenosbreed @imillhiser I personally would like kids to learn about all LGBTQ identities at whatever age they can understand them in part because I want the kids who are gay or trans or gender queer to be able to be and understand themselves right from the start. — PolitiTweet.org

Conor Friedersdorf @conor64

@imillhiser Ian, my claim was that I didn't think 4 year olds could meaningfully understand this concept. So, say, maybe 3rd grade would be better to introduce it? Since you counter that this would be unobjectionable for any age, does that mean you think 2 year olds could understand it? — PolitiTweet.org

@HeyChelseaTroy All the vitriol I got for starting this thread would have been worth it for this response alone. Thanks for a thoughtful and thought-provoking read. — PolitiTweet.org

@antoniogm Fair enough. Call it my untested read on your character. — PolitiTweet.org

Conor Friedersdorf @conor64

@antoniogm I think there's some truth in this--i'm very curious to see if the right keeps going in this direction or not — PolitiTweet.org

Conor Friedersdorf @conor64

@antoniogm I can't speak to how he would have done in the VC world. I am not sure if he'll try to pivot back to media class respectability at any point in his Senate tenure but if it's long doing so won't be hard. — PolitiTweet.org

Conor Friedersdorf @conor64

@antoniogm Another way I would put it is that you never have and never will utter words as intellectually dishonest as words he uttered to gain power, because it would offend your sense of self respect and intellectual integrity — PolitiTweet.org

Conor Friedersdorf @conor64

@antoniogm Actually how I would put this is that he is a traitor against the intellectual class but the purpose of the treason was to join the upper class of power and money, not to be a traitor against that class. — PolitiTweet.org

Conor Friedersdorf @conor64

@antoniogm I don't know, but I think his net worth will increase significantly over the next 6 years and that he will own more homes at the end of his time in the Senate than he does now. — PolitiTweet.org

@nbrink77 @WishboneUlysses @MelanieMoore It's quite weird. We both air our perspectives, and neither of us change our views, and you don't find it at all odd that you don't immediately accept my view, but you expect that, upon me hearing your view, I will immediately abandon my own and proclaim that you are correct. — PolitiTweet.org

Conor Friedersdorf @conor64

@antoniogm I met J.D. Vance at the Aspen Ideas Festival, a few years before he launched his campaign for the U.S. Senate, where he will likely end up next year. That seems like a path to inhabiting the comfortable elite world, not rejecting it! — PolitiTweet.org

@WishboneUlysses @nbrink77 @MelanieMoore If by "fixated on" you mean *reporting on and actively interrogating all the perspectives I hear to understand them as thoroughly as possible* you are correct. — PolitiTweet.org

@mrhortywho @jduffyrice Mostly I want a longer time horizon than three years as a majority of my free speech writing predates that's my archive at The Atlantic seems like the right dataset to me. — PolitiTweet.org

Conor Friedersdorf @conor64

@mrhortywho @jduffyrice I don't really think that's viable. I mean, there are many thousands of such stories every year. Hundreds in academia alone. Are you proposing that you'll find all of them? I mean, I'd love that resource... — PolitiTweet.org
