There are levels and degrees of outrage. Some are tepid, some are boiling over and a massive sea of gray between. Then there's the degree, where you put your focus on the things that do outrage you. Being mad that black people were actively oppressed during Jim Crow and some vestiges of that linger on is perfectly understandable. But it's unreasonable to attack people who were a) not involved in these institutions and b) do not support them. Plus, some battles are more urgent than others. Fixing our corrupt corporatocracy is very high on the list, worrying about which bathrooms to use (important to a few, to be sure), much further down the list. I'd rather be uncomfortable with my bathroom choices in a society where the government is answerable to the people (mostly because that issue would be addressed much more seriously eventually), than to be totally comfortable with my bathroom choices in a society where the government is for sale to the highest bidder and we're stuck in endless wars of choice for oil and mineral resources and gun violence is commonplace.
