(tw i guess) Just had a very interesting conversation with someone who seemed otherwise smart and friendly. He genuinely believes that people are choosing to be trans for attention.... without having ever talked to a trans person himself. Also legitimately believes that the government is ruled by lizard people, and that covid just never existed(???).
Apparently for some people, when "none of the mainstream media is willing to tell you this," that makes the information more credible to them. Bizarre.
Most people in first world countries will probably understand 'L' and 'R' anyway. But hypothetically, the problem could probably be solved by adding another letter, the same way we know that 'T' is for 'Tuesday' and 'Th' is for 'Thursday.'
