Whether you think trans peopel are weird, unnatural, mentally unhealthy, or whatever else you tell yourself to justify being hateful I have to wonder, why would any of that, if it were true, even be a reason to not care about someone, or at least to want to see them happy.

To be honest most hate is hard to understand in general, but this just seems particularly absurd. In the end when I see it I cant help but assume its just a reflection of the persons on internal mental issues, whatever they might be, and less about the groups they target.

@freemo I think one of the reasons people hate them is because it seems as though they are part of a system of oppression. As in, they are the beneficiaries (and allegedly perpetrators) of a lot of the censorship that goes on and I think people resent them for that. One that I met explicitly supported making misgendering illegal. It's still not justified to hate an entire group and tar them all with the same brush though.

@Hyolobrika That might explain why someone would hate people who support oppression and political correctness int he wake of transrights. I would have no problem with that per-se.

But when you generalize the fact that some promote rights that are well meaning but harmful and therefore you must hate anyone that is therefore in the same category of them regardless of their political opinion, well at that point you just stepped into a big ol pile of stupid.

@freemo I didn't: "It's still not justified to hate an entire group and tar them all with the same brush though."
@freemo It looked like you were talking about me. Maybe we should go back to using 'one'.

@Hyolobrika Perhaps :) Though if everyone is mature about it then the issue is resolved by just asking and clarifying, just as we did. When people act like adults things tend to resolve themselves fairly well.
