Ugh, yeah, this is the problem with so many issues. The overwhelming majority of reasonable people being too afraid to speak up against the lunatic minority.

I'm not knocking you, I know very well how unpleasant it can be for people who speak up even a little bit. But if nobody does, or if it's only "cis" people like me, I think there will be a lot of unnecessary pain down the line. I know there are lots of reasonable trans people out there. But I'm not sure the general public does.
