But the conflict was and still is directed at minority groups for their being a minority. There is nothing to resolve there, a Trans person will not stop being trans, a gay person stop being gay or a woman stop being a woman. These people genuinely need protection and safe spaces.

(I'm also aware that these are not easy issues to tackle but they haven't been met with a lot of care in the last few years)

A bigot can stop being a bigot, but first they must express their bigotry in order to confront it.

Allowing conflict does not obviate a need to allow safe spaces, either.

And people should suffer and not feel safe, for others to learn that different acting or looking people are also just human beings?

Society has failed minorities and not minorities society.

Allowing for conflict does not obviate the need for safe spaces.
