i am not personally affected in any capacity by trans gender individuals, nor do i hate them, i just find those people to be rather strange and don't want their public displays of indecency to be witnessed by children. if I saw a trans gender person being attacked by someone wearing a MAGA hat, i will aggress upon the attacker in defence of them, regardless of if that attacker shares some of my own beliefs, he clearly doesn't share my belief in a civil society. i extend that same sentiment of protection to any person regardless of who they might be. if someone hates a person for being women/black people/brown people/Jews etc then they are just fucked in the head and heart. i think you might be confusing my disgust with their personal choices for hate, but say a bill was proposed that would directly and harmfully impact the life of someone i disagree with, i would vote against that. i don't want people having a hard life. now say a bill was proposed to grant additional rights to the trans gender individuals which begins to erode rights and spaces specifically designated for the female sex, then those trans genders are not seeking equality and that too, i would vote against. clearly compassion is viewed differently by both sides too, since you believe it to be compassionate to tell a trans gender women that he is a women. i believe it to be compassionate to tell trans gender women that he is a man. no other self generated belief someone has about themself are affirmed except for gender...

I am sorry, but I can't discuss with someone holding incoherent beliefs. You can't say you find someone revolting and that you don't hate them; you are contradicting yourself. You say you aren't personally affected and then say how they affect you personally. Sort yourself out.

>say a bill was proposed that would directly and harmfully impact the life of someone i disagree with

Like being seen in public?

>i don't want people having a hard life.

Trans people are some of the most assaulted people there is right now. You want a trans women to be forced to use men's toilets, where they will be insulted, groped, spit on, punched, and assaulted. You are not the benevolent person you think you are. Face it! Talk with trans people and see how out of touch you are.

They are men, so this is what they should be using. Or unisex facilities if available.

> where they will be insulted, groped, spit on, punched, and assaulted

The prospect of male-on-male violence, or the rhetorical fantasy of it, is no reason to permit males to impose themselves upon female spaces.

just because i find something to be disgusting does not mean i hate it. if i see a poo on the ground when i am walking down the street i find that disgusting but i don't hate the poo, the dog or the owner. perhaps events beyond my understanding occurred leading to the disgusting display on the street but nowhere is hate present in my mind nor heart. there is a very close correlation between disgust and hate but no causation so you're fair in your assumption but i don't concede that disgust causes hate. trans gender women (biological males) should use the men's toilet, yes. places like toilets and locker rooms only need a male and female because we split those based on sex, not gender. those are places which were split due to the (major) physical differences between our sexes, so why would i allow a man with an incongruence between his mind and body to enter the area where i let my daughter or niece enter to conduct their private business? he is welcome to use the gents with the rest of us and again, if he is actually assaulted then me and/or most other men are going to assist in the defence of his physical safety instead of mindlessly joining in on an assault of someone because he made the decision to look as freaky and disgusting as possible.
