@Irylane12 I love it! Reminds me of a quote, “We can disagree and still love each other unless your disagreement is rooted in my oppression and denial of my humanity and right to exist.”
― James Baldwin
@Irylane12 I'm of two minds on this. In large part I agree, and I don't have much tolerance for intolerance. At the same time, if we don't engage with the people who hold these opinions then we can't lead them to the right side of history.
I speak from experience. I was transphobic myself for a long time. It took engaging with people I knew in the LGBTQ+ community, and getting to know a few trans people for the scales to fall away from my eyes.
