Trans students are witches now? That’s very insensitive of you.

EDIT: thanks for editing your post and to make me look stupid. Original post was “Literal witch hunt” so I was pointing out the improper use of the word “literal”. It’s clear that OP understood because he edited it out of his post and followed up saying he meant “figurative”.

That is not at all what I intended to say. I mean it is a witch hunt in the figurative sense.

If you have a suggestion on how I could rephrase my sentence to be more clear, I’d gladly change it.

Anyways the word “witch” has also been reclaimed by an alternative culture but that’s beside the point.

Your edit to their edit just makes you look even more petty and whiny.

Fucking hell, just accept that they tried to correct their comment to clarify that they weren’t trying to villainize trans kids.

You can either take the stance that you helped them clarify their opinion to be better understood or you can be outraged. At first you were outraged at their “wrong speak”, after the edit you’re outraged that they edited their comment to make you look stupid.

Not eveeyone in this world gives a shit about you, your thoughts, and your feelings. Some people are just trying to have reasonable discourse here.
