We are in a thread talking about accommodations for transgender students in order to make schools more inclusive for them. The opposing view of that is to not make them more inclusive for these students. You're the one who brings intolerance into the discussion and attributes it to the government and the pro-inclusiveness crowd. If you were speaking in more abstract terms, not related to this particular discussion, you picked a really weird spot to place your argument, and also didn't do a very good job of identifying it as abstract.
