It’s plenty possible. Most of the framing that others put on people’s identities can be eliminated through kind interactions. The question is, do they allow that interaction or are they so afraid that they’ll never let it happen? Or, do they mistake online discourse and conflict as true to real life?
A respectful conversation requires both parties to respect the other. Assuming someone is a racist, homophobe, etc. until proven otherwise doesn't qualify
