fascist is a specific thing i'm saying we should attack, and while transphobia is often part of a fascist ideology and movement, it is not sufficient to determine whether the ideology or movement is fascist.
tldr i didnt say we should kill your dad, i said we should kill fascists.
No I'm not saying you said that, I'm saying others do. While I agree with you about actual fascists, my problem with currently advocating for political violence is the people who would use it on my dad are not in the minority of political violence supporters saying "drag people from their homes." They already call people with that exact view fascists even without knowing if they do support using violence on drag queens or "just don't like it." It seems we're kinda in the minority of that one and I'm just speaking out against that.
(Also btw I think it's technically homophobia, afaiu drag queens or kings aren't necessarily trans, some just do that for the shows. Right?)
