Counterpoint: dehumanizing trans people, black people, other minorities, women, is not acceptable. It's not "a different opinion". When Republican politicians or prominent conservative talking heads talk about replacement theory, other conservatives shoot up synagogues or super markets in a minority neighborhood. I don't want to talk to you if this is what you support, unless what you're saying is you've had a change of heart.


Why would they have a change of heart when the only people interested in that happening refuse to engage?

All you’re doing is ensuring the strength of their beliefs.

Edit: You don’t have to like someone to not actively attack them at every opportunity, even if what they believe is reprehensible to you.
