    I swear the second one is worse than being blatantly transphobic. No, you don’t accept me, and no, it’s not just a difference in opinion.

      Yeah, I find the first one much better than the second one as well. “What about the cis kids who will become trans??” is really much worse than using slurs, as the idea that gender identity/sexual orientation can be changed by external factors is pretty much the basis of conversion therapy.

      And people advocating for more regulation often don’t support actual medical consensus like the WPATH SoC. They usually support some shit like “No GAC under 25, and I don’t care if that’ll make children kill themselves.”.

      I’d much rather get called a removed or some other childish slur rather than have some jackass put up a respectful facade while fighting to take away medical care from me.
