I do not want to mischaracterize you. What are you saying, and how is it different from what I said? If I altered my statement to "So, you think trans people need to change their behavior so they don't get beaten up ...", is that more accurate?

"Behavior" is pretty vague. I feel that Archie is talking about a very specific thing.
Also, and I don't want to put words in his mouth, but I think he is saying that everyone (not just transgenders) should be upfront and transparent about their sexuality. Not just to avoid being hurt physically or emotionally later on but also because it's just the courteous and nice thing to do.

Violence by far right is among US’s most dangerous terrorist threats, study finds
Center for Strategic and International Studies analysis of domestic terrorist incidents found majority have come from far right
www.theguardian.com
The report says “the majority of all terrorist incidents in the United States since 1994, and the total number of rightwing attacks and plots has grown significantly during the past six years”, with the far right launching two-thirds of attacks and plots in 2019, and 90% of those in 2020.
The report adds: “Far-right terrorism has significantly outpaced terrorism from other types of perpetrators.” The second most significant source of attacks and plots in the US has been “religious extremists”, almost all “Salafi jihadists inspired by the Islamic State and al-Qaida”.
The report shows the far left has been an increasingly negligible source of attacks since the mid 2000s.

I think identifying as trans appropriate and expected on a dating site platform.
I advise them to way disclose it for their safety. I've read stories of people flipping out about it and hurting or killing the individual. I do not "blame" them at all for this and the idea that you interpreted it that way is ridiculous.
I get it. You advise trans people to represent themselves in a manner they feel is inauthentic and reveal deeply personal information to complete strangers. You don't think this is victim-blaming.

The far right Terrorists that have infiltrated our police and military establishments who regard Trump as their vessel to create a white ethno State worry me far more than a bunch of bored college kids wearing helmets.

I worry about the far white extremist ***** too. 100%
In your opinion, is there need to worry about the influenced, sensationalized induced violence happening because of stereotypes and automatic assumptions? I know you think I'm "far right." I'm very liberal when it comes to social policies, I hate guns, support the LGBT community and realize there's systematic racism. I'd like to think I'm open minded and capable of growth, even if you and @One Brow wanna continue to call me far right (I take offense to that and think you're a **** for doing so because it's based on you being simple-minded about my opinions - the same damn problem you say you're fighting for.)
My question is, while we both worry about Trump and dislike him in office, do you worry about the radical left as well as the right? I worry about both and they both make me sad.
I see through the click-bait and sensationalism that eggs on violence, destruction, race baiting, witch hunting (just yesterday someone used a post of mine from 10 years ago to define who I am today,) as much as I can while understanding I can still learn.
Even with Trump in office, humans are progressing, understanding, and evolving. 100%. That doesn't mean bad and unnecessary **** shouldn't happen but the idea behind people being upset and therefore can do what they want and hurt others is outdated and no better than an eye-for-an-eye.

My answer to this is yes.
But let me ask another couple of questions
What is it that the radical left wants? What is it that the radical right wants?
What would a world look like if the radical left had all their wildest dreams come true?
Same question for the right.
My guesses? The left wants equality for everyone (though their methods of achieving it aren't always the best). They are against fascism, racism, etc. I think their perfect world everyone is equal, happy and peaceful.
The right wants to be superior to everyone else. They want guns and money. In their perfect world they would have everything they want at the expense of everyone else.
Thoughts?

I have a ONEPLUS...
Anyway. I don't believe that's what the right wants. They want success to be based on merit and concept of hard work. However, only certain people get to choose what merit and success is and actively ignore or deny that certain people start 50m ahead in a 100m race and then want to celebrate the "winners."
