You see? You're still not engaging with the complexity of the matter. It's slogans and invective against people who don't uncritically accept the slogans.

The problem is that this approach has not been working for trans people. I don't know if you've noticed, but quite a few red states in the U.S. are turning into a nightmare.

When you've already dialed the slogans and invective up to 11, going to 12 isn't likely to work. Instead, try a different approach: understanding where there are reasonable misunderstandings and legitimately competing interests. Then you can educate and discuss, both of which are humanizing as well, so you get two birds with one stone.
