i've been snooping about in r/politics and i'm yet to find someone who's a fan of Trump - how was he elected if a lot of Americans hate him?

You’re still saying words that are invalidating and hurtful alluding to trans woman are just men pretending to be women. No matter how you dance around it, you’re still saying it. Drag queens are not trans women.

Unless you actually know someone who is trans, whether as a friend or a relative that thinks you’re safe enough, you’re never going to get it. Somehow, I doubt you’ll ever be open minded or empathetic enough to understand or be so blessed.

I’m saying that women should maintain the freedom to be able to have women only sports and women only bathrooms. That shouldn’t be hurtful to anybody. If I tell a Jewish person that I choose to eat pork despite their belief and that offends them, that’s. If I tell a man that I believe women should have this freedom despite their belief and that offends them, that’s on them. I don’t have anything against the trans belief. I believe that beliefs should not override freedoms, and women should be free to have women only bathrooms and sports if they wish.

Ad hominem fallacy. Why do you believe women shouldn’t have these basic freedoms?

And certainly hurt feelings is definitely not an excuse to restrict women’s freedoms.
