But I guess it is ok to call someone a conservative pundit freak right?

If you want to go by "there aren't that many transexual top level athlete" so it isn't important than we can say that considering the percentage of transexual people in the population talking about them at all isn't important as well? I don't think you would agree with that, would you?

I'm not sure if this is a language issue (not sure your native language), but that isn't what I said.

"conservative pundit" is the subject of the sentence. They are the group that is performing the action.

"freak out" is the action that they are doing. To freak out is to enter into a period of irrational behavior or emotional instability

I did not call anyone a "conservative pundit freak".

And I think there are a few differences between what I am saying and the parallel you just drew. The first is that there is an estimated 700,000 trans people in the USA. 700,000 is a little bit bigger than 2-10. The second is the severity of the issue we are talking about. Again, I don't really care if someone loses in a sports match. On the other hand, transgender people are the frequent target of violence, harassment, sexual assault and bullying and commit suicide at higher rates largely due to societal mistreatment. They simply aren't comparable.

Read that wrong as well but unfortunately english is my first langauge :(
