For what other minority is this acceptable?
It depends what you mean by put up with. But no one is saying trans people should shut up, pretty much the exact opposite. Anyone is free to argue their point. Also I imagine the rules make it acceptable for people to create threads about what majorities or minorities can or cannot do.
At the moment this topic is relevant because there's promenant sports personalities who disagree with trans women competing against other women.
Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.
Impersonation is treason.
