Not my usual kind of source (Xitter), but I want any centrists out there who ask trans people to "just get along" / compromise with actual hate groups that want them eradicated to know that it doesn't work.

There is no such thing as a reasonable bigot, by definition.

"The problem is, they are getting crazier and crazier."

They're not, they just don't feel the need to hide those parts of their goals any more, and you should have listened to us when we warned you about those goals.

And you should be listening to us now about their future goals.

    They kinda are. Not at the fringes, there used to be targeted outing campaigns in the hopes of getting trans people fired or killed back in the day, but what was once extreme personal bigotry has become a pipeline and is increasingly legitimized by mainstream right wing politics. If you ask the average bush era republican if the medical establishment should be forced to institutionalize trans people, they'd reply with a slur for sure but they'd not support overriding medical institutions.
