Equal human rights is unconditional. There is no wiggle room. You either believe we should all have human rights or you don't. No qualifiers. There is a line in the Sand. Good guys on one side and bad on the other.
The problem with this line of thinking is that if anything but total purity is rejected, then your side of the line in the sand is quite small in comparison to the other side.
I agree in theory that human rights are non-negotiable. But in practice, movements need popular support, and that support relies on compromises.
In my view, fascism is the unionization of all groups and individuals that a democratic society considers to be immoral. The harsher a society is in its moral judgements, the larger the "out group" becomes and thus fascism grows stronger. This is not a moral question, btw. It is a simple question of cause and effect. In a perfect world there would be no fence-sitters or bigots. But we don't live in a perfect world.
If the line in the sand is peoples right to live and express themselves freely then I am fine being a purist.
But that's not the line in the sand in the comic. In the comic, the line in the sand is people being uncertain about trans issues. This can just as easily stem from a lack of information or inherited values as it might stem from genuine bigotry.
