Emotions are not tools of cognition. The way you "feel" about something does not change the nature of that something. Your emotional state at a certain time does not reflect the actual circumstances. It is nothing more nor less than your reaction to your perception of your circumstances.
There is no such thing as "my truth," "your truth," "his/her truth," or any so-called truth other than the actual truth: what actually was, what actually is, and what actually will be. As Ben Shapiro reminds us, facts don't care about your feelings. What is, is. What is not, is not.
That's it. Black and white. No gray area. There is no place in between existing and not existing. To believe that what is is not, or that what is not is, constitutes one of two things: (1) ignorance of reality or (2) a disconnect from reality (otherwise known as "insanity").
Thinking and reading can fix (1).
Thinking and reading and psychotherapy can fix (2).
Don't be an ignoramus. Don't be a lunatic. They're both bad things.
You're genetically a man but you "feel" like you're a woman? Or "identify" as a woman? That's super neato, but your actual physiological makeup states unequivocally that you're a man, regardless of what clothes you wear or how you mutilate your genitalia.
Palestinians constantly engage in acts of war against Israel and Israel shows incredible restraint but does defend itself, but you "feel" that Palestinians are being oppressed and abused by Israel? That's also super neato, but the Palestinians are still largely a violent group of terrorists and their supporters and enablers, and they have no actual intention to ever live peacefully with Israel.
Despite every actual attempt at implementing some form of socialism resulting in physical and spiritual harm and never resulting in long-term peace and prosperity, you "feel" like it's right to confiscate property from one person and give it to somebody else, or for the government to tell people what they can and can't do? That's, again, super neato, but any form of forced collectivism or statism (whether its called "communism," "socialism," "democratic socialism," "fascism," or whatever; no meaningful difference between them) is irrational, immoral, and doomed ultimately to fail miserably at anything other than creating a degraded, disgusting society of food for the Morlocks.
Reality is reality. Your feelings don't--and can't--change that.
Maybe our mortal weaknesses make it impossible for us to be perfectly objective. It doesn't matter. We can still get very, very close. Only lazy, narcissistic people persist in resisting objectivity or rejecting truth.
So, stop being an idiot. Truth matters. Your feelings don't. Think. Don't emote.
Emoting makes you an idiot.

Don't use language that would warrant anything higher than a PG rating. Don't act like a moron (whether it's acting or not). Don't emote. Don't expect me to take what you have to say seriously unless it's backed up by facts and a logical argument. Expect me to ridicule political correctness, mercilessly and with great joy. I'll delete posts whenever I want to. This is not a democracy. It's my blog, to say whatever I want to say, and do whatever I want to do, not yours, and I have absolutely no obligation whatsoever to give you a forum for your toxic, imbecilic ideas. Have a nice day!
