So, you'd be ok with someone arguing that maybe a discussion about racism is warranted, because sometimes, a bit of racism is warranted?
Or is that only ok when it's trans people?
'cause if you want logical and consistent, that's something you need to ask yourself. Why is it that folk are quite willing to discuss the erasure of rights of just one class of people, when it's not something you'd even consider talking about with most other groups?
There is no consistency in that desire, it's not driven by a desire to be logically consistent. This is driven by political interests and think tanks trying to create social divide. It's not a co-incidence that you just want to consider the logical merits or trans folk, right now, at this moment in history.
Until you're willing to face the reasons behind that, and the impact your social context has on you, you can't be logically consistent.
I've never used Plex, but the thing that stopped me from looking at it isn't that it's a paid service. It's that it's partially centralised, and starting to become hostile to its user base. This current change, locking down a previously free feature being an iconic example of that.
My partner and I fund two decently sized fediverse instances and a matrix instance mostly out of our own pockets. We do that precisely because we have both actively chosen to move away from centralised, user hostile social media platforms. And whilst Plex isn't a social media platform, it is centralised and becoming more user hostile, and I won't pay for that.
(And to be clear, I'm front of house, I'm not responsible for setting up our instances security :P)
