What I said is that it really can't be that hard to accept people for who they are. I mean, why the hatred ans refusal to get educated on this topic.  That's the feel I got lately and I get it that not everybody shares that and I'm OK with that.
That's basically all I said and I wish everybody would be more open-minded and accepting of people that are marginalized and discriminated on.

I've literally never seen anyone on this forum do what you've said in the bit in bold there; any and all concerns I see are about how it affects single-sex spaces and sex segregated sports, and general concerns about how trans issues interact with already existing gender equality debates.
Valid and important debate issues and attempting to shut them down by accusing people who are interested in these issues of being transphobic, judgemental or uneducated is an
extremebly dubious stance, and in my opinion, a quite deliberate shaming tactic or strawman. There's just no place for it in an
actually educated debate, or anywhere outside outrage-culture.
