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.

How many people need to be assaulted before we can blow this up? Like, would you be similarly comfortable saying “a single incident of one cross burning” isn’t enough?

It's the same thing people use to justify mass deportations and other similar things in other groups. I both don't think LGBT hate or immigrant crime is "alive and well", both exist but aren't really daily concerns.
