What an unpleasant, bitter screed from the perspective of someone (it would seem) who views dignity as Zero-Sum game.

Accepting others and respecting their differences does not cost a person ANYTHING .

Spewing this hardly-veiled bile, seems (to me) to delegitimize the “Pride” you otherwise have every right to claim. There is no pride in punching down.

Take your ball and go back home, ma’am. We here are not interested in playing that game with you.
