No, that's not what you said.

You said two things that are extremely dangerous in combination.

"Honestly I personally am past the point of trying to beg cis people to give a damn [...] our best chance to survive is to [...] arm ourselves in self-defense."

That is,

(2) We're going to arm ourselves so we're dangerous, and

(1) We're not going to reassure you that we mean you no harm.

It's a really bad idea to do both.

If you want to do (2), you'd better not do (1).
