Home schooling's rise from fringe to fastest-growing form of education

No, it’s not necessary to "deny the existence" of people. This is the kind of disingenuous rhetoric that makes transmaximalist advocacy so alienating to many people who might otherwise incline to whatever degree of tolerance. Rather, one can recognize the existence of people but hold that their self-knowledge and will is flawed. We have, after all, had philosophical frameworks and vocabulary to deal with these things since the Greeks.

Transmaximalist?

Flying them fashy colors proudly, aren't we?

At least have the guts to say degenerates like the Nazis did

Fascism was an innovative political philosophy of early 20th century Europe. People who disagree with the most maximalist wing of trans advocacy can have a range of grounds for doing so besides the tenets of that very specific movement, which they may and likely do oppose; indeed their grounds may predate fascism, or stem from some other culture entirely, etc. But of course you don't throw around words like "fashy" out of any reasoned usage, but rather because you think that by associating your opponent with sonething outside the pale, inaccurate as that association is, you win the internets. People can see through this.
