I understand why that person from the country of Georgia is mad that people aren't getting it right, but also the only part of their post that actually points out it is talking about the country rather than state is the flag that they use, they say "The place I live" which could be either, they talk about the legislature being lethally transphobic which could be either.
I can understand why the particular double name can cause a lot of frustration especially when you're trying to talk about something serious, but sometimes when there's communication problems between you and an audience they are partially your fault.
#This has happened to me I have worded posts in ways that do not convey the sort of information I want as wholly as I suspected#Either because the audience changes from the people who follow me specifically to whoever reads the post#Or because I just didn't consider enough about the information environment#At any rate I'm obviously not atting them about it nor should any of you#But I think they are completely right to be posting about the stuff they are#But somewhat wrong to be frustrated that people are not properly interpreting which Georgia they meant#But like considering that they're expressing frustration about a serious issue I don't think this is a conversation I a stranger should hav#Just like IMO having seen it a few times now I think that the failure of understanding is not entirely on the audience#If you don't know what I'm talking about don't worry#That said the first part of the post they made is important so I reblogged that without the part I think they're wrong about#The wrongness of which I believe to be a pretty trivial matter anyhow especially comparatively
