Yes, standing up against the abuse of power is standing up against particular uses of power while exercising power in doing so. No, that is not hypocrisy.
Exclusion is structure-relative. It doesn't make sense to talk about excluding people when there's nothing in particular you might take to be what they are being excluded from. I am not claiming here that people should be shunned from society or humanity or what have you because they are putting forward a statement of intent to exclude people; I am simply saying they are wrong. Excluding others from our lives for our perceptions of them being wrong would leave a very lonely society indeed.
It is precisely because we do not want to exclude that we challenge, in order to resolve the disagreement rather than seeking separation. Perhaps this disagreement may never be resolved, but that does not mean that the challenge should cease.
