Ah, the banhammer. I have to say that I think banning these people was the wrong thing to do, but it wasn't my decision to make, and ultimately the mods have to answer to the whole forum community, not just me.
I've been doing my best to honestly engage with these guys, and in at least one case I seem to have succeeded. I never mentioned my being trans, of course, because quite frankly it's not that important, and I'd rather start a new relationship by establishing common ground rather than jumping straight into the differences that separate us. It's always easiest to overcome differences if you first have something in common to help bridge the gap. My mother, for instance is a Trump supporter, and she and I live together and we don't agree on politics at all. But we are family and we love each other, so politics doesn't divide us. We accept each other and may think we're each a bit off, but in the end what we have in common is more important than what we disagree on.
