...I could have told you that 🤷

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.
There's a difference between "making nice" in the sense of compromising values as you mention and between giving them a chance to prove they can grow out of their hateful mindset. They'll have to work for that trust, but we should be willing to forgive and accept them back if they show genuine change.
It wouldn't be directly moving into your home, but more like the general neighbourhood. If they turn it good neighbours, then their past hostilities can serve as a lesson and an object study, but shouldn't eternally shackle them.
We should also understand that some people can't forgive some wounds. Just because it's the ideal doesn't mean it will, can or even has to be fully attained.
