"...that I don't agree with the ideals of transgenders."

Ah, there it is. Has the same vibes as, "I don't have a problem with black people, just black culture."

And what "ideals" are you taking issue with? You mean how trans folks want to be treated equally and fairly? Or maybe how trans folks want to raise awareness of violence across the world towards them? Or maybe how trans folks would like people to respect their pronouns, the exact same way people have been doing for centuries with nicknames and preferred names?

I don't agree with the ideals of transgenders.

What does that even mean?

From my perspective trans people just want people to stop weaponizing the government against them. It’s just the latest bs moral panic to keep people distracted on culture war nonsense instead of actually trying to change anything of substance for the better.

There's a big difference between "I wouldn't choose that," and "They should be prevented by force from choosing that."

What you're looking for is a hate group. You can advocate not just judicial rulings limiting the freedom of minority groups, but for disposing of the minorities once and for all. If that's too extreme then you'll just need to tolerate them. Be better than those that didn't tolerate your hatred.

Or was he just born with a heart full of neutrality?

Hmm.

What are the "ideals of transgenders?" The right to exist, free from persecution? If you're opposed to basic human dignity and rights which you'd be really pissed about it someone tried to take them away from you, then, yeah. That's a fairly extremist view.

Immigration... well, I can at least understand the thought process. But unless you're Native American yourself, then that's just fucking hypocritical. I wouldn't say "extreme," just more "asshole." Like, you got yours, and fuck everyone else trying to get what your immigrant great-great-grandparents did - it's a kind of dick attitude. If you are of indigenous descent, then sure: you get a free pass on that topic, from me, at least.

We should be able to discuss these topics, and I'll agree Lemmy can be pretty hostile when it shouldn't be. Lemmy's got its own Overtone Window and it can be rather fascist about enforcing it. However, if you approach a controversial topic at least attempting to come across as open to debate, and not just ranting about cross-dressing Mexican laborers taking your job - and really depending on the instance and forum you post into, you stand a fair chance of having a decent discussion.

You're not going to get much love going into a feminist community whining about affirmative action is actually just sexism in disguise, no matter what.

I'll just point out that many of is are aware of the paradox of tolerance: intolerance cannot itself be tolerated, or the bigots will eventually win. So if you're feeling as it you're getting slapped down about some topics, maybe consider it your position is one of tolerance or intolerance, and know that Lemmy's aware of the danger of allowing a Nazi to sit at the table with you.

You repeating "I don't hate them" over and over while at the same time attacking trans people at their core sounds a lot like you're either in denial, or you're aware that your position is an unpopular one. Either way, it sounds like you need to do some self discovery.
