Look, I've never been anti-gay or anti-trans, but this kind of attitude isn't winning over the people who are in the middle.
I'm talking about generalizing and stereotyping type statements that, even if you aren't homo/transphobic, feel like they're targeted at you. When someone says, to give a hyperbolic example, "cisgendered white men are bigots", they are not actually referring to all cis white men. But if you're cis and white, you now know they assume you're not a good person by default.
Tribalism is never the way.
