Touched a nerve? I have quite a few gay and trans friends. They tend to agree with my views which is live and let live. Their lifestyle is not a problem, and they afford me the same courtesy.

"Live and let live" directly contradicts you previous transphobic posts, and "having X friends" is the lamest most disingenuous excuse for your bigotry. So no, you're not excused, and you're not credible.

>The phrase is cited as an instance of "resistance to antiracist thinking", and some suggestions for dismantling the logic of the phrase include "it is like saying there is no such thing as sexism because we all have a close friend or family member who is a woman".

Do your conveniently gay and trans "friends" agree with you when you personally blame them for being responsible for and deserving all the abuse they receive simply because they "pushed things too far" (as you claim) by demanding to live and let live? Your victim blaming and bigoted postings are pushing your own transphobia too far.

And yeah, I have a nerve about human rights, that you apparently don't. So you're the one who should move to Russia or China.

		Example of a neonazi who isn't white [1]. The Believer (2001, with Ryan Gosling) is a decent fictional movie about how this could work [2], and I also liked Rompen Stomper (1992, with Russell Crowe) [3] and La Haine (French for 'the hate', 1995, with Vincent Cassel) [4] about the phenomenon in general but there's likely more recent, good material as well as non-fiction available. I also had a colleague student who was IMO racist, but he was himself what we in NL call halfbloedje (in this case: mother black, father white, divorced).
