doesn't exclude anyone
Cultivating a reputation of supporting hatred of a person is functionally excluding that person.
"I'm not excluding you, I just believe that you're an abomination before my God who should be stoned to death and not allowed basic human rights, such as equal access to government and your own culture and the ability to marry"
is not a valid claim.

I addressed that. I also addressed why that isn't a legitimate business reason for disciplining or terminating the employee over an aspect of the employee's life that is rightfully outside the employer's concern.
So, to reiterate: an employer doesn't have a legitimate business interest in dictating whether their employee is male, female, or otherwise;
Anglo, Japanese, Latinx, Malay, or otherwise;
25, 45, 55, or otherwise;
Titled Mr., Ms., Mrs., Reverend, Mx. Or otherwise;
Catholic, Protestant, Buddhist, or otherwise —
If their job is accomplished as any other employee's is, and the Loss of Business is solely ascribable to customers being persecutorial bigots, that then is not the fault nor responsibility of the employee.
Any suggestion that it is otherwise needs additional facts to bear that assertion out, or is (as history and the law have shown) simply wrong.
Any business chartered under the law which finds itself unable to operate in accordance with the law needs to reconsider whether it has failed or fulfilled its charter.

The simple answer is:
The people who were "protesting" "change", "censorship", and so forth and so on when Ellen Pao was CEO, were not actually protesting change nor censorship.
What they were doing was throwing a series of giant racist, sexist tantrums because an educated Asian woman who is a feminist was CEO. They weren't protesting censorship or free speech; they were taking revenge on a figurehead scapegoat.
The people who were "protesting" (rioting) wanted to be allowed to harass minorities, women, and carry out criminal enterprises via this website. When they were stopped from doing so, they threw tantrums.
Edit: the in-depth

It's an extremely cold take. You want hot? Here's hot:
Most people have a baseline of fairly conventional kindergarten morality, and Postmodern Conservatism often clashes with it.
You can rationalise the contradictions in your beliefs: "I'm not a bigot, I just believe in State's Rights"
But as American Conservatism gets more radical
It gets harder to square one's politics with what one assumes to be one's beliefs.
So you learn, when someone challenges you, to cycle through beliefs (and thought-terminating comebacks like "That's a hot take"), until something sticks.
Just Play Your Hand, and Trust That You're Right.
or
in extreme cases
insist that you have no beliefs at all, you're just here to watch the world burn.
But you're not.
You are willing participants in the burning of only certain parts.
You don't actually care what you believe, but you know what you hate, and you don't want to think about why you hate it.
On paper, you believe in Freedom of Religion and Freedom of Expression, but you also hang out in communities where Muslims and trans women are punching bags - and operate subreddits like SPS that explicitly serve to direct harassment at the people you hate.
And as I've mentioned before - the piper's price has come due on your movement.

the "top secret" status is irrelevant, as is the notion that, in this year, 2020, some specific person leading a team publishing research on a topic "doesn't speak the language and therefore is incapable of accessing the source material"
I'm really really tired of people who miss the point

/u/ZapTap was given gold because the person that gave /u/ZapTap the gold first approached me via PM, said they'd like to give me gold, and asked me if I was a Pao-hater —
I told them I shout down the Pao-haters, that I have more reddit gold than I know what to do with, and pointed them at /u/ZapTap.
Hence the reason /u/ZapTap was given gold.

I have gay and trans friends
Not after you read them this comment you wrote, dude. Which really gives you too much credit - the trope is literally "I can't be a bigot I have a [gay|black|female] friend".
How, exactly are they marginalized at this point?
I'm not a bigot.
Ring ring, ring ring - reality check calling.
In the first half of 2022 alone, 25 state bills were introduced which sought to make some aspect - or even all aspects - of being transgender illegal.
Obergefell v Hodges, the landmark SCOTUS case which affirmed that two people are allowed to marry regardless of the s*x marker on their government-issued identification documents, is explicitly named in the Dobbs decision - you know, the one that overturned the SCOTUS opinion recognising a right to privacy and by extension a woman's right to reproductive health care? to be next in line to be overturned by a SCOTUS case challenging its basis. No more gay marriage in the USA, real soon, unless miracles happen.
Maybe you have, maybe you haven't been paying attention but there's a whole hundreds-of-thousands-of-people-maybe-more political movement that right now is demanding that LGBTQ people be executed in the street because (they claim) our existence in public corrupts the youth, which - and no one who's graduated high school should have to have this pointed out - is the opening salvo to the kind of oppression and violence that happened in Germany a hundred years ago.
There are public school teachers who are having to leave their job and hide across country because their lives are threatened - or they've actually been assaulted - on the mere allegation that they told their students that LGBTQ people deserve love and respect.
There are public school teachers losing their jobs because they're gay and married.
But you probably don't care about the facts - you're just here to scream about how "LGBTQ people are the real oppressors", along with a whole derail about some Russian Christians.
I'll sign off here by observing the bit in the last card - the reason none of us really wants to take your "Debate meeee!" bait is because we know what your next move is - to dodge to some other derail, or otherwise avoid taking responsibility for putting your boot on our necks and joining a growing genocidal movement targeting us.
So instead we just tell our friends that you're a dangerous psycho who needs to be shown the door.

The subreddit rules don't specify a "team".
This space is not a space for "only Contra stans", and not a space for a harassment brigade that's going to make life miserable for Natalie, and not a space for only memes, and not a space for only discussion.
This is a space that is meant to be safe for trans people, GNC people, enbies, everyone in the QUILTBAG and all cisgender hetero people, to talk about Natalie's works and the themes and issues brought up by her work.
The rules are crafted to that end.

I am in no position to make proscriptive or prescriptive statements on usages of one of the slurs; I am in a position to make prescriptive or permissive policies on potential usages of the other, as I am a member of that identity, and even stake a subreddit reclaiming the slur.
