I really do understand your perspective here, but you're proving the point that I'm trying to make: it's impossible to conscientiously object to any points within the movement without encountering tirades and Hitler comparisons. For you to read my nuanced take on this complicated subject, give me no credit for any of the points I made, even the ones I made on your behalf, and then lump me in with nazis and Hitler sympathizers--it's just ridiculous. I don't know how to break it to you, but you've got far greater battles to fight than ones with people who really do believe the trans experience is real and that the violence against them is a serious threat to be addressed. The black lives matter movement is fighting for a real cause that should never be diminished, but that doesn't mean it hasn't earned backlash for some of its approaches. It's possible for there to be some validity to some of the arguments of your opponents. It doesn't mean I'm fascist and It doesn't mean I condone genocide.
