Someone can be “fairly respectful” or “civil” about their views on gender identity & sexuality, but if their message boils down to ideology like “I don’t believe this really exists”, “Be a man or a woman, ffs”, or “These people are all just mentally ill”, it doesn’t really matter how “respectful” they are being if their message / beliefs are harmful to marginalized groups.

I don’t necessarily encourage these kinds of hostile replies, but I can absolutely see where it comes from, and it is absolutely understandable.

If your beliefs can cause or encourages harm, hostility can enforce the message that it is not welcome in these places.

I would also love to know what kind of “left wing agenda” that the commenter is claiming to “cause so much harm” actually is.

Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you!!! ❤️
