    Have just been told that if I maintain friendships with ppl who don't believe in gender identity, I deny trans people the right to exist.

        Not enough that I think gender - cognitive, psychological and behavioural differences - exists & trans identity is valid & shld be supported

        I must also shun & vilify everyone else who doesn't believe this. I think people can be wrong & still be worthwhile people. Sue me.

        I could not be friends with someone who was a bully whether it was trans people they were bullying or someone else.That's the sticking point

        Maybe you can use that as a way to educate your friend about trans stuff.

        Yep, I try, but their commitment to the idea that gender does not exist is ideological & not easily shifted.

        I'll settle for them caring enough about the dignity & wellbeing of trans people to leave them alone.

        This simplistic, binary thinking seems to be at the root of the "rotting of epistemology".

        Indeed. At this failure invades other thinking as well. It seems once some choose an ideology, all critical thought is suspended.

        terf is thrown at anyone who has doubts about GI or even for questioning individual trans activists. It's an attempt at silencing.

        This 'right to exist' nonsense is pure hyperbole, and used as an excuse to not engage in discussion.

        This “no friends” with people you disagree with nonsense is a cancer in current discourse. People deliberately closing their minds.

        God forbid the possibility that people's views may change with education, reflection and time - instead you should cut them out!

        I don’t understand what these people mean with “right to exist”.
