One cheap debate trick is reframing opposing opinions as having some sort of 'moral failure' and therefore foregoing all rights. For example, lots of attempts to shut down 'open debate' do so by framing the opposing opinions not as wrong, but as as "interruptive"
I have literally never heard anybody in my life say that anyone from the queer spectrum have no right to exist, and I used to be a fundamentalist Christian.

Really you've never heard anyone insist trans people are mentally ill? Bi people are just confused? Ace people just haven't found the right person yet? Homosexuality is a life style choice/totally a thing that can be cured? Lot's of ways of saying lgtb people shouldn't exist

Saying a trans person is mentally ill is not saying a trans person shouldn't exist? If I think "liking potatoes" means they have a mental illness then where am I getting "people who like potatoes have no right to exist"?
