i feel like you're ignoring the point i already made. if we agree transgender is an involuntary physical feeling then how is it obviously a mental illness? and if racism is learned and can be un-learned how is it not the one more appropriately labeled a sickness of the mind?

just ignore them, they're buffoons. if they become violent, we have a justice system in place to deal with them, or anyone else who breaks the law.
i just don't see the giant problem everyone else does. but in saying that, i'm racist for not acknowledging the brewing storm of nazi-ism set to overtake america

no, you're not racist, you're just uninformed. i don't know where in god's green earth you got the number 500 from but it's about 400x less than the number i read and i'm fairly certain it's at least 12x less than the lowest number i saw from any source. there's been a huge increase in public appearances by neo-nazi's and white nationalists, speaking conferences, rallies, media appearances, etc. and it's not because of counter protests, but because of trump's campaign and election. if you don't know about the rise in hate crimes since the end of last year, specifically against jews and muslims then you should catch up before forming your opinion. suggesting we have a justice system that will take care of nazi's and racists is another uninformed statement. our justice system employs plenty of racists. alternatively who in their right fucking mind trusts the justice system to deal with anything appropriately? there's 9 people with active warrants for taking down the confederate statue in north carolina and there are zero people with active warrants for the hate crime of collectively jumping and beating a 20 year old black man with clubs at the unite the right rally the day before.
