Tbh.... Rare Nutomic W. I don't agree with him, but people on here hounding people over this one very specific issue and trying to make them a social pariah if they have a "wrong" opinion is pathetic.
Putting my response to some other comments here from users literally calling for people to die because they hold this rather moderate position:
Honestly... If I was going to be a transphobe, it would be because how you lot act on here, not due to actual right wing influences. Thankfully I have spoken to a few people who are transgender activists who are actually respectful, decent, and well grounded people. But the proportion of people I come across who aren't at least makes me want to have nothing to do with the movement itself. Which is a real shame, because a few transgender people I have come across and know are lovely, but there's a large voice out there giving them a bad name, and I feel like that voice may be contributing to the current political shift.
