Hmm. Again, I hear what you’re trying to say, but “OP posting a meme to Lemmy about supporting trans rights” isn’t “insisting every part of every discussion cater to all of your beliefs at once.”
You’re tilting at a strawman that isn’t happening here, which is part of what makes your comments come across as more than simple face value.
“Pick your battles in conversations” is potentially a valid point. But “don’t post supportive memes because bigots don’t like the association” is effectively an attempt to silence support for trans entirely. (And trans people need more support than just healthcare.)
“This kind of thing (trans people supporting each other with memes) has an impact.”
You are the kind of person who didn’t support MLK and thought he should shut up because sit-ins and marches were “bad optics.” I hope you can mature in your empathy and grasp of historical context because right now you are waaaaay off base.
