I don't think there is a "what" - he was just explaining the wokeness.

The explanation came out as aggressive in a way that antagonizes the Asahi maintainers.

Usually people who explain "woke" in such a manner seem to be the types who are actively hostile to LGBTQ+. There are a few LGBTQ+ people who do make it their entire identity instead of one facet of themselves and I understand how annoying that can be, but at this point I'm a lot less likely to believe "this is someone who turns 'How is the weather today?' with a stranger into a trans rights discussion" and more likely to believe "this person just hates trans people and is trying to frame the trans person poorly so I resent the trans person and not them."

I 100% agree with you, and my apologies if I came off as hateful, I really don't think I am, but my problems are only with the people who make it their entire identity as you say, they are just exhausting humans in general and I don't really care how they want to identify or whatever, I would pose the same arguments to people of any persuasion if there was a sizeable number of them doing it.

That's not a real apology. Be contrite -- what will you change in your life, going forward, to be less hateful?

I don't consider myself hateful in the first place so I'm not aware of anything that needs changing, but I'm open to constructive criticism.
