Boy howdy this threads still going. I do love the use of empathy like you can't be empathetic but not support the ideas/want of a person. Like I have a ton of empathy for emet and the acians, does that mean I have to support the genocide of entire planet's now? No.. that's not how empathy works.

Empathy is being able to understand where someone's coming from, even if you disagree with their ideals. You can understand why they want/Do xyz, but that doesn't mean you condone it.

Do I support non-binary as a concept? Nope, but would I go around punching or intentionally insulting them? Absolutely not.

I may not agree with the concept, but I will still treat you as human.
