If we're attacking them to make them feel bad then why draw the line at slurs?

Already explained earlier, bud.

Hmn. I suppose that I see a fundamental but critical difference in criticizing someone based on choices they make ("I spent decades as a man and now I want to be a woman") when they insinuate in interviews "Well Revolutions sucked cause I had to become a woman and it was very distracting. Please buy my ****" versus something like race. In regards to race, a better tactic would be to insult them based on policies they push if it seems hypocritical based on some aspect of their racial / cultural identity. That's partly why Black Conservatives get so much ****: they've got justifiable motivations, but others see them as working against the interests of their community.
