Hi, I have a transmasc boyfriend and am part of the LGBTQ+ alliance. However I started my first year of college and encountered uneducated men who just did not believe that trans people had their rights under attack. One of my friends even told my trans woman friend that she had more rights than him. How or what can you do to help others become educated without “debating trans existence” or starting an argument? Thank you.

    I like to figuratively give people shovels and let them dig themselves into a hole. A lot of people I talk to don’t really have good evidence, they’ve just been convinced by someone louder than them.

    Ask genuine questions, not debate me bro style, for explanations. If they’re open minded, maybe they’ll question things. If they’re closed minded, you were never gonna get anywhere with them.
