You know, when Mahr started talking about the difference between Los Angeles and Akron, it almost seemed like he got it. But instead of understanding that trans people in Akron are afraid to be open about who they are, he jumped to the groundless assumption that people in Los Angeles are just making it up because it's a fad.

Earth to Mahr: Have you frigging BEEN to Akron? Of course people aren't open about being trans in Akron. They'd be rejected and shunned. Take it from this Ohio boy born and bred.

Phaylen, how on Earth did he not understand that? It's just ... You can lead a mule to water, but you can't make him stop being stubborn.
