The psychiatrist has a point. In fact, looking at thus picture made me realize how I am towards antifurs. I've always thought that antifurs hating our kind, and thus, my kind, caused me to hate them back. But in truth, it turns out that I'm really just upset because I want them to change and become more tolerant. Anti furs forget to love their neighbor, same with homophones, transphobes, and antisemetists. However, there are those among anti LGBT that will respect your opinion, I have a friend who lives with a conservative family and is against LGBT, but even though I'm pan, he still allows us to be friends and you know why? Because he remembers to love his neighbor, in fact, upon coming out to him after I found out about his beliefs, he was the one who taught me the phrase and that practice is why he still wants to be and still is my friend. He's even kept my orientation a secret from his parents for me. If those uncomfortable with a certain concept people identify with were more tolerant like my friend and not deciding to also hate the people who identify with it, the world would be a much MUCH better place.
Well in psychology they do say that hate is a relative of love which is another reason why I called it "hate-love". This kind of emotion most people know for sure unfortunately who fall in love with bad people: They love and hate those people at the same time. But my critique about this kind of thinking is that we can't generalize such big feelings. There's no black and white only in such a big spectrum like our inner world of emotions and it's fatal to see some kind of love against criminals because that's simply what Nazis are in the end: People who don't mind to kill you if you don't obey. I guess sure in the end we are all human beings and could reach some kind of bigger empathy so that you would even be able to feel sorry for murderers, rapers, etc if you understand them better and maybe even relate with their inner pain but seriously: Isn't your own survival worth more than the risk to allow abusers entering your life? And wouldn't hate protect yourself for getting the necessary (emotional and physical) distance from such kind of dangerous people? It's a big topic for sure and I'm glad this work here made you philosophize about it. :)
