No….you are not necessarily a bigot and your claim that this is the left wing mantra is also false.
In don’t think you’re correct. The claim of “transphobia” and “bigotry” is nearly always assigned to those who simply disagree with the trans ideology. Disagreement is instantly spun as “hate”, insulting, and denying their existence as humans, and even violence claiming they aren’t safe. This is done not just be common leftists, but by Democrats and the Biden administration. I think you may be naive to how much they irrationally attack the right.
How about trying an honest argument if you want an honest discussion.
No one ”demands” you personally respect what they believe.
Yes, they absolutely do, or else the reasons I listed above.
Just like you can’t demand people respect your belief in sky fairies, which is also kind of silly if you want to be technical about it.
This is precisely correct. Christians do not demand by totalitarian methods that you must believe, and if you don’t immediately victimize themselves as unsafe, hated, etc. The LGBTQ community/Democrats/Biden does not allow this respect.
Christians May plead and evangelize, but the faith is spread by free will and acceptance of Christ on your own, not by social attack, censorship of counter beliefs, economic attack on livelihoods, even govt force (Canada) like the LGBTQ does
On the other hand there is such a thing as agreeing to disagree, and treating the person courteously.
I couldn’t agree more, and I wish the LGBTQ community, the MSM, Democrats, and the Biden administration would be as rational as you are being here
