I know it was precisely 279 days ago, but I found this post today and felt the need to comment on this: even the most logical of people, like myself, usually gets defensive on a emotional scale when arguments, even if not malicious, are made somehow in relation to opposition, against us. Since all we've faced historically was denial of existence and rights, humiliation, threats of violence and death... etc.
Any normal and sane person would be slightly offput by any negative criticism even if not made with derogatory intention. If you faced daily hate, you'd need therapy for life. That's most of LGBTQ+ of Gen Z. We all need therapy to not off ourselves in a soon future.
