I'm not going to delete a thread because one person misunderstood it.

I am willing to cop to how in my haste and emotionality I worded some posts that are easy to misunderstand. I am willing to edit to make my actual meaning more clear. I am even willing to delete if I actually *said and meant* something that I've been corrected on.

But if I mean one thing, and you get mad at me because you *think* I meant something else, and especially if you continue to insist that I meant it the way you took it, I will not delete the thread. I know what I intended and I edited to make my intent more clear. I'm willing to edit further, but I will not delete.

Especially as an autistic person who has been chronically misunderstood my whole life, and who has had abusers and bullies intentionally misunderstand me in order to hurt and manipulate me into doing things I didn't want (including sex). This is one thing I will not bend on, especially as a victim of the core topics I'm discussing here (transphobia, misogyny, and SA).

The closest summary of this thread I can write is: Men should stop being rapey so that everyone can relax and both feel and be safe wherever they are, no matter who they are with. So that the weight of protecting women from rape does not fall to innocent trans and nonbinary people.

That is the core message.
