why don't you just go on and apply what you pretend to believe in, and respect this creator's having "a different opinion and [...] expressing it in the way they believe is best"?

Forgive me, but I don't completely understand. What do I pretend to believe in? I have done exactly what I preached. I respected the creator's opinion while still giving mine. We are having a completely civil discussion about this topic which I personally find enjoyable and stimulating. I apologize if I've offended you in any way, your response seems a bit hostile (even if that's not the intention)
I'm not telling you how to feel, I'm just expressing how I feel. If you feel that I'm pushing my opinions on you then I'm sorry and I probably won't be making any more comments on this topic. But I will say that it is a difference of opinion. Not everyone is going to throw someone out of a club for trying to use the bathroom while trans, but if the majority of the country agrees on something then there is nothing to be done but protest and hope for the best. And don't assume that I don't know how it feels, I'm not saying I know the exact feeling, but I have been oppressed and profiled for the crime of being born with more melanin in my skin. I have watched my people die and be tortured, just as you have watched yours. My point is that life sucks for everyone, and it will continue to suck until we as people decide to respect each other's differences and come together for solutions. If I'm being honest, I don't think that will happen in my youth, but I have hope for gen alpha. I'm not saying don't be angry, but channel that anger into creating solutions and making changes.
it just seemed silly to me that someone preaching "everything is valid, it's all just personal beliefs, let's all smile and agree to disagree" would actually attempt tone policing someone else.
and then, if i sounded hostile, it's probably because i was, indeed, annoyed. the position you're defending has been defended more times than there are stars in the universe (a whole fucking lot!), and in my little experience, it's more often than not proclaimed by people who have no understanding of social dynamics of power, no lived experience of discrimination, or both. i'm sorry if you caught some hostility up there.. it just gets boring to be told by randos to respect the "opinions" of a group that wants you dead.
