The paradox of tolerance ceases to be a paradox if you conceptualize it as a social contract, as those that refuse to abide by said contract will not be protected by it.
If your views are to cause harm on others then you forfeit the right to tolerance for those views.
The fact they're so bigoted already shows they are full of fear. And what scares them is a higher concentration of melanin, not having a penis, and having love for all humanity instead of just a small group.
not having a penis
Or having a penis/vagina but not wanting to conform to the traditional gender role that comes along with having a penis/vagina.
