Hate is far more tolerated from minority groups regardless of the target.

Consider how often you’ve read “kill all men” or “kill all terfs”, versus “kill all women” or “kill all transgender people”.

Furthermore, consider the stronger emotional reaction you likely had to reading the second two, as opposed to the first two.

For sure, hate from a group in control is much different than hate from a group that isn't in control.
"Terfs" aren't the ones in control, not by a long shot. Radical feminists have been consistently mocked and marginalised since their activism started.

By contrast, trans-identifying people are comparatively celebrated in our society.

Okay? What I said still stands.
