You’re a liar (bolding mine):

“Repulsive” and “disgusting” (and “Ew”) are your words, liar. Not understanding transgender issues is not bigoted. Not being attracted to trans people is not bigoted. Questions about trans people and sports is not bigoted.

But calling trans people “repulsive” and “disgusting” is bigoted. Your own bigoted words. Ask yourself if demanding that “Christians can find Jews repulsive without being called a bigot, and _can say so in public_” is a bigoted request or not.

Or hide behind your bigotry with lies, if that’s what you want.

If you don’t want to be called a bigot, don’t say bigoted things, and apologize for past bigoted things you’ve said. If you don’t want to be called a liar, stop lying about the bigoted things you’ve said.
