A lot of people found out that I block them very easily and quickly?

I block:
1) disrespect
2) anti-science, anti-psychiatry (not criticism, anti. Did a whole article on it.)
3) racism/bigotry/misogyny/transphobia/homophobia/ableism
4) shaming patients
5) my discretion

I will quickly click on someone's timeline and read maybe 10 maybe 20 tweets. It's pretty obvious who they are by that point.

I even discuss the nuances of lived experience, blocking, etc, here: tylerblack.com/twitter

I love debate, I love criticism. I myself criticize psychiatry a lot and beleive that criticism has proven to be necessary to good change in my field, medicine as a whole, and life.

But I'm also a 36-year online veteran. I can tell when you're there to pick fights/troll. /3

"But Tyler, I found you disrespectful! You're a hypocrite!"

Block me.

Hypocrisy solved.
