Not my usual kind of source (Xitter), but I want any centrists out there who ask trans people to "just get along" / compromise with actual hate groups that want them eradicated to know that it doesn't work.

There is no such thing as a reasonable bigot, by definition.

It’s sad she’s so close but still on ‘I want a middle ground on these issues’ really? Like…. She is okay with a little disrespect? A little discrimination?

Just a little second class citizen, as a treat.

Taking the middle ground with Nazis is saying you want the holocaust to happen but only three million jews should die.

She is desperate for a place that she can be considered "one of the good ones" with the implicit idea of "there are bad ones and they deserve to be treated worse than the good ones". She doesn't understand that the world builds rules on foundational ideas that are just straw men dressed in stereotypes - no one bothers with distinction.

What’s more, if she would just embrace who she is, reject the bigots, and joins the lgbt community…. She will find people who will treat her well. And maybe together maybe we can build a better world…..
