    People are great about answering in good faith, meant the downvotes on the question itself. I’ve noted before that that sort of thing backfires. “Well fuck me I guess these trans people and supporters are hateful as fuck.” I know better, but this place has still left me feeling that.

      I think my point still stands. In my experience, if the above question were to be asked in good faith, it wouldn’t be downvoted very much at all.

        I asked it in good faith, I was genuinely curious and got some really informative responses that were helpful and I upvoted. I still got dogpiled on downvotes, and even you are implying that I was acting in bad faith here which I think is what the person your responding to is talking about.
