    That’s fine, gender is not a choice. The point is that what you’re describing is not her type of hate. Her type of hate is hatred against people for what they are, not the media they consume.

    They can’t stop being transgender, but she wants them to. So she hates them in such a way that she does not want them to exist. This is why it can be so offensive to compare hatred against fans of a certain type of media, to hatred against transgender people.

    Because of people who share her views and write the laws that she helps lobby for against gender expression and gender-affirming treatment, some of those people stop existing.

    Suicide is an epidemic, especially among transgender people. Gender-affirming treatment literally reduces the rate of teenage suicide, and political opposition to gender affirming treatment therefore increases the rate of teenage suicide.

    I understand that some people may say terrible things like “walk into the sea,” and they’re wrong to do so. And it’s wrong to paint an entire community by what those people do - many who probably aren’t actually trans themselves.

    But she invests time and money into actually causing people to commit suicide.

      Your exchange with this dude is what I imagine you would get if you asked chatgpt “argue with me, but be wrong about every single thing, including small stuff that doesn’t even matter”

      I don’t think I’ve ever seen someone have so many shit takes back to back. Dude is batting .000

      “I’m not looking at my screen bro, I swear, nuh uh”

      What is it even for?

        I normally wouldn’t indulge or engage like that, because trolls and LLM’s are so common and even in good faith it can be a complete waste of time. But I wasn’t doing anything else productive, and I honestly think they were genuine if only because of how odd the exchange was.
