I’m not saying that you shouldn’t protect trans rights or anything like that. I’m just saying that dehumanizing around 30% of the country is a bad idea and is completely counterproductive.
As another reply said, they’re dehumanizing themselves. Disagreeing on policy is one thing, but when one side is burning books and closing research labs and treating a charlatan’s blatant lies as the Gospel truth because their worldview is fundamentally incompatible with factual reality, there’s no reasoning with that. Debate doesn’t fucking work at that point; you need a cult deprogramming!
