Difference between then and now is you got people on your side that you’re actively pushing away because they don’t see things 100% your way. If you aren’t 100% with me, you’re a bigot. That is so utterly narrow minded.
I legitimately want what’s best for this community, which is the only reason I’m even commenting. But I see posts like this, and comments like yours, and it feels hopeless.
Its extremely normal to say x y or z bigoted thing until society catches up.
Let me ask this, how does society normally catch up? Is it 100% all at once? Or is it a little bit here and there until eventually it’s 100%? It might surprise you to learn that society takes time to catch up, and demanding people be 100% on your side or else you want nothing to do with them is self destructive.
No, the problem is peoplw whom havent processed and moved past bigotry are angry for being called out. The whole sports issue is a clear wedge to try and legitimize anti trans rhetoric and its working. Stop yielding ground to fascist talking points.
Not everybody that has these opinions are bigots. There are plenty of people out there that don’t agree with the Trans community on the issue of sports, but agree on literally everything else.
YOU label them as bigots because it’s easier for you to ignore what they’re actually saying and the points they’re making. It’s easier to say “I’m right cause you’re a bigot” than to actually have a debate with somebody.
Public polling shows the Trans community is losing ground with both parties. Not because everybody is all of a sudden a bigot, but because the Trans community won’t participate in dialogue. They yell “coward”, call them a bigot, and somehow think things will get better.
