I just want to suggest that there may be a difference between hating a person for something they were born with, or for an uncontrollable feature of a person, compared to hating someone for explicit choices they have made.
Not saying that hating people for any reason is necessarily okay, but I think an argument can be made that there is a difference between those two cases of hatred.

They still made a choice based on your distinction and it is hardly a given that they were born with it. As always, the drawing lines makes the difference ( and naturally adds a focus on people drawing the lines ). FWIW, I do get what you are trying to say, but I am not sure you considered the other side of the equation.
- ryan_lane 2y agoAutism isn't an excuse for hate, and folks on the spectrum don't like this argument, because it portrays them as being unable to have any control over their thought.
