people have the inherent freedom to be whatever they want to be, just as everyone else has the same freedom not to accept this.

white supremacists don't accept that black people have the same rights as white people, does that make their opinion okay? no. of course, everyone has the "freedom" to believe whatever they'd like, but having freedom =/= their opinion valid or correct.

I don’t believe we should leave it alone if people hate us. That hate can later turn to violence. And I hope you’d agree that violence against me is the ultimate impingement upon my freedom. Societally there just isn’t a case for letting people like that just go about their lives without challenging them and or removing the threat one way or another.

very dangerous grounds you choose to stand upon. starting to look like an oppressor rather than the oppressed.

Well if you agree that I’m not calling for violence like you thought yesterday then I still don’t know what’s authoritarian about that.
