this is awesome

just because i find something to be disgusting does not mean i hate it. if i see a poo on the ground when i am walking down the street i find that disgusting but i don't hate the poo, the dog or the owner. perhaps events beyond my understanding occurred leading to the disgusting display on the street but nowhere is hate present in my mind nor heart. there is a very close correlation between disgust and hate but no causation so you're fair in your assumption but i don't concede that disgust causes hate. trans gender women (biological males) should use the men's toilet, yes. places like toilets and locker rooms only need a male and female because we split those based on sex, not gender. those are places which were split due to the (major) physical differences between our sexes, so why would i allow a man with an incongruence between his mind and body to enter the area where i let my daughter or niece enter to conduct their private business? he is welcome to use the gents with the rest of us and again, if he is actually assaulted then me and/or most other men are going to assist in the defence of his physical safety instead of mindlessly joining in on an assault of someone because he made the decision to look as freaky and disgusting as possible.

i am not personally affected in any capacity by trans gender individuals, nor do i hate them, i just find those people to be rather strange and don't want their public displays of indecency to be witnessed by children. if I saw a trans gender person being attacked by someone wearing a MAGA hat, i will aggress upon the attacker in defence of them, regardless of if that attacker shares some of my own beliefs, he clearly doesn't share my belief in a civil society. i extend that same sentiment of protection to any person regardless of who they might be. if someone hates a person for being women/black people/brown people/Jews etc then they are just fucked in the head and heart. i think you might be confusing my disgust with their personal choices for hate, but say a bill was proposed that would directly and harmfully impact the life of someone i disagree with, i would vote against that. i don't want people having a hard life. now say a bill was proposed to grant additional rights to the trans gender individuals which begins to erode rights and spaces specifically designated for the female sex, then those trans genders are not seeking equality and that too, i would vote against. clearly compassion is viewed differently by both sides too, since you believe it to be compassionate to tell a trans gender women that he is a women. i believe it to be compassionate to tell trans gender women that he is a man. no other self generated belief someone has about themself are affirmed except for gender...

feel my fists clench through the text? that would imply anger, and if that's what your takeaway was, you live in a very comfortable bubble

definitely is the case that that dogmatism does exist across the political spectrum, it just appears more frequently from one side as opposed to the other. like i stated in a different reply: "i might fundamentally disagree with what you say but i will defend your right to say it" which seems to only be echoed by one side

well clearly your hate is morally superior and thus you're justified in your hate opposed to another because you're a brilliant thinker, right? regardless you saying that those who are far right hate people for something they can't change is just as funny as that first comment in the article, because for example, phrases like 'assigned male at birth' which is literally someone born as male then cosplaying a female. how is that someone who is "what they are and cant change"? i can personally find that to be revolting but it doesn't change reality. here is a good way for your big brain to understand it, say a far left person wearing a bunch of pride badges gets attacked in public for no apparent reason, you will still see a far right person assist in defending the individual they fundamentally disagree. now reverse the roles and say a far right person wearing a MAGA hat gets attacked in public for no apparent reason, and you will see the far left person assist in the attack. i might not agree with what you say but i will defend your right to say it, but the same sentiment seems to be lost on the opposite side of the political isle, they would instead celebrate and advocate violence against the other side "for what they choose to be"
