    No. You don’t have the right to debate other people’s right to exist. Such speech is an act of violence and should be treated as such.

    I don’t want a group of people sitting around “discussing” whether or not black people are inherently inferior either. That is not speech we should accept in the public sphere

      Have you never heard “sticks and stones may break my bones, but names can never hurt me”? It’s preschool 101. Speech is never an act of violence.

      Additionally, nobody is debating anyone’s right to exist.

        Says the person who’s never heard their own right to exist or the rights of their loved ones called into question publicly.

        You don’t have the right to “debate” other people’s equal rights.

          Except really, nobody’s ever debating anyone’s right to exist. That’s absurd.

          Consider this: If a mass murderer was captured and imprisoned, he could claim that the justice system opposes his right to exist. The trouble with that is he’d be completely incorrect. The justice system opposes his behavior of murder. No matter how much he believes his very existence is inextricably bound to his behavior of murder, the reality is he murders by choice, and it is that intentional action which the justice system opposes.

            Did you just compare trans people living their lives without hurting anyone to murder?

              Sure, and I could have chosen any other action, but I chose murder because it’s not contentious to express a disapproval of it.

                Did it ever occur to you that it’s “contentious” to express “disapproval” of trans people existing because…there’s nothing WRONG with trans people existing?

                  Hmm, sounds like you missed my entire point. Nobody objects to any people existing. Some people object to particular behaviors.

                    You don’t think trans people exist and that being trans is “a behavior” equivalent with murder.

                    I definitely understood the “point” of your bigotry perfectly well.
