A need for inclusion

5 08 2008

I have been blogging for a while now; nothing special, just writing about things of general interest to me. Recently, however, I have been reading blogs on sexuality and the trauma other people have been suffering as a direct cause of either their sexuality or the sexuality of a loved one. People are reaching out for help, but often finding no one there. This blog is part of my answer to that problem.

There doesn’t seem to be any shortage of people forming their own independent groups, but often these groups are exclusive, not inclusive. It doesn’t seem to matter what group you belong to, just as long as it is an exclusive club. I have found very few groups that break with this rule. While this may not be a group, I hope to break with that rule here.

I propose to use rationality, understanding, and inclusion as my guides. I’ll admit that I’m not always the most logical person in the world, but there are some things that help guide me, and I hope will guide you too. The most important of these is to avoid logical fallacies. The list of fallacies I like to refer to most is listed on the nizkor.org website here. The main reason I like it is because it has a good list of fallacies, but also has easy to understand descriptions and examples of each of the fallacies listed there.
