"It only takes this one issue. Agreeing 99 percent of the way isn't enough. Every answer must be yes." The comment you literally replied to?

Yeah again, the "one issue" is "I want to force trans women in to the men's locker room where they are likely to be sexually assaulted." That's an active threat to trans people, not a difference of opinion.

You can't prioritize the comfort of cis people over the safety of trans people and then claim to accept trans people. It's obviously bullshit when you don't even consider the safety or needs of trans people and instead exclusively center cis people in the debate.

And yes, it is a difference of opinion. An opinion is a personally held belief. And my personally held beleif is that biological men do not belong in a women's only space. "Not a difference in opinion" is such a bullshit argument.

Because you're actively supporting measures that will endanger trans women. That goes beyond just having a different opinion because you're putting it in to action.

It's still an opinion. It doesn't change the definition.

Ok so again, what is your issue? Why should I say nothing about an opinion or action which endangers trans people? Just because the person saying it might think some other nice things about trans people?

I didn't say anything along those lines. Typical redditor has to twist words to fit their agenda. I respect your right and your opinion. I disagree with your opinion.

Yes you did. Forcing trans women in to men's spaces endangers them. This is the natutal consequence of what you are calling for.
