How do you balance being Gender Critical but not becoming outright hateful of trans people?

It is different, as smockers don't want all air to be replaced with smoke, DnD 5e players don't want all games being merged with DnD 5e.

Christianity is similar case to TRA, but they aren't as active anymore and don't have that much power in media anymore.

There are some smokers who do think that they should be allowed to smoke anywhere and everywhere including hospitals and playgrounds. There are some DnD 5e players who think that no one should play any other RPGs because it dilutes the market share.

And there are some trans people who think that they should be allowed to force people to believe that they have magical gendered souls that were put in the wrong body and that they can fix it with surgery.

But there are also some smokers who understand that its a filthy habit that they should hide. There are some 5e players who understand that other systems offer valuable experiences. There are some trans people who understand that gender identity is nothing more than a fantasy and that validating the fantasy is not more important than people's rights.

Yeah smoking is a weird example, lots of smokers behave worse than TRAs. But not all of them are so disrespectful just as not all trans people are nuts, see Blair White.

Yeah, it always bewilders me when a smoker will insist that it’s a harmless habit that shouldn’t be interfered with and then, in the same breath, reacting with murderous rage at the mere idea that someone might try to prevent them from having their smokes wherever they want.
