The problem is that our current world really makes you pick your battles on this one. I understand why it would suck to be a gay Facebook employee, for example, but why is that your fight versus, say, labor conditions in chip manufacturing plants? The point isn't that one matters more than the other necessarily, it's that we only have so many hours in the day, and we have to just ignore some problems sometimes.

That's fair. I think my comment was born from a place of frustration with corporate tolerance vs. corporate practice.

But there's not really any utility in me, a cishet kid that doesn't work at Facebook, complaining about it. Point well made

No worries, and God knows I understand the frustration. And to be clear, my point wasn't that such frustration would be wrong, I was just positing a good reason why someone may be in the situation you describe and not be bent out of shape by the whole thing.

I got that - sorry, I was trying to make my own comment about praxis vs. ideology, and how I'm not exactly bashing down Zuck's doors by complaining to Hubski!
