Are we all not bias in some way. Anymore, just an opinion counts for that.

In a conversation with a father that allowed his daughter to choose her pronoun I mentioned that is as dangerous as a parent that allows their child to eat only cake for dinner - he instantly labeled me as a conservative.

In a conversation with a stranger about a friend that cannot hold a job I mentioned how I wish there was some sort of UBI program that would allow him to at least live a basic life - he instantly labeled me as a liberal.

Are not our opinions now considered biased just based on our opinion... so we just should not have an opinion.

There is every indication that the mechanism behind gender dysphoria is very similar to the mechanism behind homosexuality.

Now ask yourself, in this day and age, is it appropriate to call homosexuality "dangerous"? So why are you calling gender dysphoria dangerous?

In response to nosy, holier-than-thou paternalism, "conservative" and "liberal" probably seemed kinder than "a-hole."
