People may disagree with the timing of transitioning or the number of genders, but they don't attack trans people in the streets like that.

We all come from a tolerant, liberal, civilized western society.

The people in the crowd were Algerian.

They don't hold those same values as we do.
Didn't watch the video since I only come to these forums while stuck at my desk at work, so I only responded to your comment in the general sense and not in specific reference to the video.

I suppose on the spectrum of tolerance, there are less tolerant people than alt-righters. So in that sense, sure, you're "more tolerant" than the people you refer to. You're "not as bad as those other guys", even though the increasing normalization of intolerant speech is emboldening people to act on their garbage ideas.

Also, I didn't say political tribalism. I suppose I did reference right and left there, but I was referring to the general tribalism of social groups becoming (seemingly) more vitriolic and violent toward other/competing groups. Tribalism can be political, racial, social, economic, etc.
