Not my usual kind of source (Xitter), but I want any centrists out there who ask trans people to “just get along” / compromise with actual hate groups that want them eradicated to know that it doesn’t work.

There is no such thing as a reasonable bigot, by definition.

    This is why advocating for “finding middle ground”, or centrism, or this repackaged warmed over Abundance crap is so toxic.

    You can’t match these people half way. you have to beat them

      Most arguments have a middle ground, but its a case by case basis. In this case the sides are:

      • let a marginalized group experience a little joy and feel comfortable in their bodies

      • refuse to accept that a middle school understanding of gender and biology might not be totally correct.

      Meeting in the middle here is how you get second class citizens.
