Not my usual kind of source (Xitter), but I want any centrists out there who ask trans people to "just get along" / compromise with actual hate groups that want them eradicated to know that it doesn't work.

There is no such thing as a reasonable bigot, by definition.

In a negotiation its important to ask for more than you want. Compromise is what you reach during negotiations. If you start your negotiations from a pre-compromised position, you're just ceding ground to the other side.

Support the extremists. Support those who go too far and ask too much, as that's the only way to reach a fair and reasonable compromise.

Congrats, you have a better grasp of negotiation than a 6-figure-salary consultant contracted to the DNC.

Oh, they ask for more than they want.
