    sure, but, we’re assuming here that the person can explain their perspective.

      The assumption would be that unless they can explain it in a way that indicates their support of the rights of either affected group, they’re bigoted and not worth anything to anyone other than to the thought leaders they let think on their behalf and are using them to profit themselves. I’ll pity them as they are extremely pathetic and loathsome, but that’s as much as I’m willing to give them. There’s less than a percent chance that they’re simply misled and willing to have a good faith conversation about what they were taught, but short of that they’re easy to dismiss altogether in every way. This may sound harsh but I’m well past any patience I had for bigotry.
