Depicted is a disgruntled looking middle aged brunette haired woman with a thought bubble showing an ambiguously gendered torso wearing jean shorts next to a toilet. Text as follows:
"Are you having fanatical thoughts about other people's crotches? Has hating a minority group become your entire personality? Do you obsess over other people's toilet use? If so, you could be a danger to others - it's time to seek help. Contact our team: \youneedhelp@leavetranspeoplealone.com"

There is no dialogue for "do I tolerate another human being".
This is not about sports competition where you could at least manufacture some kind of perhaps argument - this is about telling other people how they should identify and feel.
It's one of the easiest examples for the axiom of tolerance that you're pushing. And my answer is: No. I don't need dialogue - these people need to be made ashamed and socially outcast just like other fascists . I will not develop tolerance for intolerance.
These ads are not targeted at Rowling. They are targeted at the mass of people, the ones who already feel that it seems wrong to escalate a topic that is so personal and rare in such a way but have a dissonance (see what I'm doing here?) between what "conservative" media and their own perception tells them.
What kind of "reasonable debate" would look like? Ask people to be a little bit less themselves? Bring back perhaps a little bit of chemical castration?
