This is a bad faith argument, or at least just a bad argument in general. Denouncing transphobia has absolutely nothing to do with said transphobe's religion and everything to do with denoucning hateful rhetoric. It's a leap in logic to assume otherwise.

What's that common Christian refrain? Love the sinner, hate the sin? By your same logic, "love the sinner, hate the sin" is hate speech despite not attacking the person, but their harmful views and actions.

Not to be tHaT gUy, but Christians aren't supposed to hate the sin in others. It's not our business, but God's.

Edited to add: I don't think there should be a religious exemption to hate speech.
