And by "allowed" I mean tolerated. And by tolerated, I mean permitted to exist in a civil society.
It seems like what some really mean by "inclusivity" is really "exclusivity". If you don't prescribe to our rigid views then we will do what we can to harm or destroy you. The fact that you exist is a threat to our group. I've read multiple posts in this thread alone expressing that Reimer's inaction is a threat to the LGBT+ pride movement. I just don't see it. But I also don't think the movement is that easily threatened.

OK he's wrong. But aren't we tolerating it? He is still employed by his company. He hasn't been docked pay or suffered any consequences or threatened.
Us commenting on the internet say we believe he's wrong is not intolerant. We are letting him be wrong. We are just commenting on it.
