Gaslighting:
Person 1) I agree with trans rights
Group of persons supporting each other 2) You’re a horrible person against trans rights
1) I just spoke in favor of trans rights, you just think I didn’t because you think that of me already
2) No, and I think that of you because you’re annoying
1) See you think I’m annoying
2) You’re paranoid for thinking this is a reaction to you
How’s that for a compression of two pages..
A strawman, I don't think he is against trans rights, I just think his beliefs on combating prejudice and tolerating degrees of bigotry and hate speech is harmful to minorities, you realize you can support something but still hold ideas/beliefs that can harm others right?
For example; you can support transpeople but also believe that bigots should be able to spread their filth and recruit. In this example the latter undercuts the former because it still allows for bigotry to happen.
It's effectively a token attempt at tolerance for transpeople that is undermined.
