    Yes we should, if you silence people they won’t change their opinion you’ll just make them angrier

      aha so I guess basic rights and common courtesy and all that don’t matter when it comes to trans people, got it

        Idk how you drew that conclusion, the point is common courtesy shouldn’t be a rule

          Its clearly not common courtesy when it doesn’t happen when it comes to trans people. They are not given this supposed “common courtesy” That means trans folks are seen as sub-human and I do think we should make a rule of not othering/dehumanizing a group of people in such a way

              so trans people should continue to actively be discriminated against by not being treated as the people they actually are because fighting that discrimination is not curing the symptom? weird take.
