While it is undeniable that transgender, Islam, and Americans have all been subjects of critique, the nature and tone of these critiques differ substantially, and it is important to recognize these distinctions. The critique directed at Islam, for example, has generally adhered to statements about specific actions, ideas, or behaviors of Muslims which are (considered) themselves dangerous. They are concerns directly stated as such and grounded in reasoned arguments with a basis of fear of the outcome or results of unlimited Islamic growth taking over countries. The critiques from me aimed at transgender issues usually involve specific beliefs about when & where transgender ideology is appropriate to permit (i.e. elementary schools vs. consenting adults), or involve statements of belief or fact regarding biological realities and in support of people's rights (i.e. the right not to be forced to share a bathroom or a trophy with someone nominally excluded from a sport or restroom privacy, the right to have an opinion on the issue without being cancelled or fired, the right to teach your children your own values, etc. etc.)
In contrast, the negative discourse surrounding 'Americans' has ventured into more disparaging, sweeping and insulting territory. It is rarely meant as the basis of meaningful conversation or a fear or something Americans might do or harm coming from them, and is more based on stereotypes that have been widely known over 100's of years to cause people to be radicalized against Americans, inflict terrorist-type damage at Americans, or wage war against Americans. A critique of a group that states "I think this group is dangerous" (like your own about Judeaism and Christianity) is more acceptable than a statement like "illegitimate occupier American warmongers who think of nothing but shooting people", for, what I hope are obvious reasons which I have somewhat laid out.
While it is possible to critique an entity or group with an intent to inform or challenge, the negative banter directed at Americans have largely employed slanderous and insulting rhetoric, which when taught to an entire generation of people in a nation or demographic tends to result in a deep seated hatred of Americans that directly leads to violence - rather than engage in a meaningful, thoughtful critique. The difference here lies not in the act of critique itself, but in the manner of its delivery.
I wholeheartedly accept your challenge regarding the consistency of messaging, and I stand by the notion that constructive critique is always preferable to slander.
I'll save you the time of going out and finding posts on Transgenders or Muslims that fall into the insulting category right now by admitting that there have been. To that extent, and under the shade of the way I feel about the "bad American stereotype"'s harmful effects ...... I admit that some TG /Muslim posts probably DO qualify as being overly disparaging, exaggerated, false, sweeping, or insulting to the extent that it may reasonably be expected to inspire violence or quasi-violent treatment.
The idea that all Americans are warmongers and occupiers has been a direct basis for terrorist violence. There really is no denying it.
The idea that all Americans are loud, uncouth, uneducated, uncultured fools has been a direct basis (in my opinion) for the way Americans often get treated
en masse when visiting, for example, the UK (I know because I went there and experienced it).
For example, I may say it disgusts me that people are out there trying to teach transgenderism to 11 yr old girls, but I should not say that transgender people disgust me. I may point out incidents of violence by transgender people against others, but I should not attempt to paint them all like that. If that difference isn't big and important to us, then we know not the difference between actions and humans.
I for one will try to do a better job of avoiding the insulting type of rhetoric against a people group, at least that type of nasty stereotype-rhetoric which I think inspires people for a deep seated hatred of Americans, I'll try to avoid falling into doing the same thing to others.
Maybe I'll use as a litmus test in my mind, something like: "Is this statement or joke mostly false, and also the type of idea that causes deep seated hatred against _____ group of people?" - If yes, I'll try to remember to refrain from it.
