    I’m not arguing tolerance of intolerance. I’m pointing out how using someone’s trans-ness against them hurts all trans people, not just that person. There are other ways to rebuke or speak out against intolerance.

      Yeah but we are lazy fucking Americans. Plus just because that is what Pres. T said never trust that. I believe the op is more correct. Y’all gonna need to toughen up it’s gonna be a rough 4 years.

        It is definitely going to be a rough 4 years, don’t make it worse. This is a warning to let this issue go.

          It’s got to get worse, everyone has to feel pain to want to change. Nothing grows without rain unfortunately.

            Seriously, I’m about to temp ban you. Making it worse for a minority group is not going to help or support them. This is my last comment to you about this.

              I’m not saying make it worse for a minority group! I said don’t punch down! Thanks for actually trying to explain it me, I appreciate actual conversation. Maybe cuz I spent time in Thailand I don’t see the big deal, people are people to me. Love is love. Sorry if I didn’t convey that more.
