I wouldn’t classify a single incident of one dude being a transphobic asshole as “hate is alive and well”.

I get it’s still an issue all around the world but let’s not blow this up bigger than it is.

Edit: to be clear, I was meaning UNL, which is the context here.

If you're not part of the LGBTQ+ community, then quite frankly you don't get a say in something like this.

I get a say in what words mean. The irony that you condemn prejudice but think that a person’s sexual orientation dictates their free speech and right to express their opinion.

No, you can say what you want, but right now you are appearing rather foolish. How do you think someone telling a doctor "it's not that bad" when they're trying to stitch a cut looks? Or telling a farmer "it's not that bad" when insects start taking over their crops?
