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

As someone who lives in a country where you can be sent to jail for not using the correct pronouns (the US) I would suggest you be careful about using their pronouns because the use of pronouns is one of the first steps trans activists use to takeover.

For instance: around five or so years ago, we in the US were told that TiMs only wanted to pee in women's bathrooms, now every single Democrat in the US Congress backs the Equality Act, which will literally change the legal definition of "sex" to include "gender identity" destroying women's rights and throwing open every women's intimate space to men who self-identify as women.

tl;dr Give trans activists an inch and they'll take your life.

Exactly, they started with a few "reasonable" demands (TRAs back then: you'll do it just to be nice, won't you?) and very quickly the scope of their demands has widened and not instantly going along with everything is now hateful and, if they have their way, against the law.

In my country pronoun usage is not yet legally mandated, but they're already trying to sneak in a self-ID law. Probably trying to do the opposite strategy of the UK where despite their campaigning enough opposition grew that self-ID failed.

They are /have snuck in self ID laws in many countries with the public knowing nothing. This was their plan.

So, to all you young women thinking you're being nice by using TiMs' pronouns, or allowing them into women's spaces ("It's only a bathroom") please know that you, as women who are OK with certain aspects of trans activism, are being used to soften up the public to the eventual "TRANS WOMEN ARE WOMEN and real women are uterus havers"
