I just wanted to compile some kind of a list because if people keep throwing the words bigoted, backward, hateful, phobic, etc at you it can feel pretty hurtful. My Da used to say if someone calls you a horse, first time you laugh, second time you tell them to fcuk off, but the third time you might feel like looking in the mirror to check even though you know full well you are not a horse. That is the intended effect of people on here who call dissenters all these very insulting epithets repeatedly, suggesting the other is literally hateful, that they are shocked at people they used to respect, that discussion should be shut down etc etc. They are calling you a horse.
TBH the time has passed where I'm terribly insulted by most of these words, because the people using them, rarely have earned my respect.
That's the first part of this. Many (not all) of the posters here on this thread who promote the transgender angle, haven't impressed me with their inability to tolerate another persons opinions. They rant and rave about rights for Transgenders but trample over the rights of other people to do so. They have no appreciation for the concerns that others might have, and no willingness to reduce those concerns. Instead, everything is an attack.
And that leads me to the second point. The words themselves have lost meaning because they're used so broadly, and commonly. A word rarely used has far more impact and influence, than a word thrown around carelessly. Bigot, sexist, Transphobe, etc. These are all words used repeatedly by those following the transgender brigade of superior moral authority. They fling them around like candy, hitting anyone who disagrees with them regardless of the content of the opposition. They (for the most part) have no real interest in listening, or appreciating another's point of view, so they seek to shut down dissenting voices by throwing out inaccurate labels. .
And lastly, there's the lack of accuracy. Points are reinterpreted to allow them to phrase questions the way they want. Rather than deal with what's written, they'll use an extreme interpretation of the post, and then try to claim that you're being unreasonable. It's a case of ignoring or disrespecting the content of other peoples posts, just so they can achieve some imaginary points on the moral score card.
I've seen very little from the regular transgender advocates here that they actually care about transgenders. Instead, they're fighting for the cause. The crusade of good vs evil. They're holy knights fighting against the evil right wing agitators who won't accept the rights of the innocent and pure. It's utterly bizarre, but it is what it is.
So... no. Being labelled by them has lost all meaning because of who they have shown themselves to be. Utterly intolerant of opposition.
Have you noticed that none of them have provided any possible solutions? No compromises... it's either their way, or you're wrong. Every solution or constructive suggestion is shot down, but their belief provides nothing to resolve the issue... why? because they don't want a solution that doesn't involve the complete surrender (and humiliation) of their opponents.

I agree. The older I get the more I loathe (to use a strong word) people who follow the cause and not the reason for the cause. I think it's because if the society was worse, they wouldn't be the good people if you catch my drift.0 -

My most recent suggested solution:
Replace segregation by gender with segregation by penis/penislessness.
Transgender rights!0 -

I don't recall you calling us all bigots, right wing, or transphobic. Did you?
And ODB responded to your idea. Still, an interesting idea. Keep them coming. 0 -
