    Conservatives are so hateful, I’ve actually heard them try to use as a gotcha “what if someone you hate is transgender, would you still affirm their gender identity?”

    Yes. Why wouldn’t I? Even people I hate get to identify as whatever gender they want. Why is that such a hard thing for them to wrap their heads around?

      They’re so filled with hate, it doesn’t even occur to them that other people might not be. It’s just projection all the way for them.

      Yeah, we still use Caitlyn Jenner’s preferred name and pronouns in spite of her being a raging Trump supporter. Same with Blaire White.

      “What if someone you hate is alive and not hurting anyone, would you want to impact their lives negatively?” Some people are rough.
