- "Trans people are immoral"
It's not something I agree with, but any hardline christian or muslim would take that position quite easily. And that's not a small portion of the world population (easily > 1 billion).
Is it not better that they can say that, and hence a discussion can be had. And if no discussion arises, at the very least people make their positions clear, and we know who stands where.
The Utopia the intercept (and previous policy) seemed to desire was that we just pretended this was not a position people held, and it would somehow magically go away.
