For context, we belong to the same religion, or at least, your ancestors and I do. > should it be acceptable to "other" people by calling them Christofacist? Yes. The whole point even in your example is freedom of religion. Denying anyone freedom of or from religion is inherently wrong from both a religious perspective and a secular perspective. If someone is behaving in that manner, then they should be called out by both people inside and outside of their religion. > Or suggesting that we should #killallmen? I would agree that this is bad. I think most people across most political belief's - including the vast majority of leftists I know - would call this bad. > Why should prefixing a proposal with the phrase "trans" suddenly allow one to invalidate other people's rights? It doesn't, though the phrase "To those on top, equality feels like oppression" comes to mind.

The rights of women to enjoy female-only spaces, for their safety and dignity, is being invalidated in the name of so-called "trans rights", whereby a subset of males who demand access to such spaces, entirely disregarding women's boundaries, are being granted access. This isn't equality, this is male dominance over women. And yet again, same as it always is, this is oppression of women to meet the demands and desires of males.

That aside, I was more referring to people's ability to just... live their life. Whether being murdered like Brianna Ghey a few days ago, or "just" being unable to access relevant medical care, there's lots of issues with things that cis people can just take for granted.
