I wasn't trying to compare you with racists, I could have worded that sentence better. I meant that just having the existence of trans coms on his instance isn't some kind of shield for his comments and lack of apology. There is no clear statement that I have seen from him that he really understood that what he said was harmful. Instead he delivered a cop out response and literally said he didn't want to talk about it anymore. That statement was in no way a recanting of his previous statement, and it is pretty clear to me that he learned nothing and just wanted the controversy that he stirred up to go away.

I find it sad that you would go to such lengths to defend this so I'm sorry but I'll have to block you now. You've made your opinion clear and it's not congruent with the reality of the situation.
