        I disagree with your conclusion

        I respect your opinion 🙃

        There are some opinions that we must not tolerate

        It’s possible to have a reasoned discussion without “tolerating” the position.

        I’m not saying that there aren’t regular, reasonable people who have genuine concern based in the wellbeing of kids who feel uncomfortable about gender affirming care

        Then I don’t understand why you’re arguing with me. That’s all I’m saying.

        But I have to say that I feel like your position, that we should engage in good faith with people purporting extreme hateful ideology, is extremely harmful

        It’s only “hateful” if you assume their view can be solely attributed to malice, which you’ve already admitted is not necessarily the case.

        And judging them and lobbing insults is super helpful?

        but tone policing people is really unacceptable imo

        LOL “tone policing”? What does that even mean? I don’t even know what your, or anyone else’s tone is.

            I absolutely believe that lobbing insults and judging people for spreading hateful ideology is very useful.

            Then you’re delusional.

            There, have I changed your opinion or I have I given you even more conviction?

                Returning hate for hate multiplies hate, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars. Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.
