Thanks, Reverend, I'm sure shaking your finger and yelling will be a great way to convert 'em.

well, rational explanations backed up with sources tends to be met with "I'm not reading that" from the people who would say trans people make them uncomfortable (and many more issues). I remember in middle school I had some shitty opinions, and people made fun of me for them. guess what, I realized pretty quick that if everyone around me thinks my opinions are shit, maybe there's a chance I could be in the wrong here. I don't know when we got the idea that people's shitty opinions are somehow justified as political nuance once they hit 18, but these people have their head so in the sand they will not listen to reason, even when they are met with data showing how their viewpoints harm themselves, people around them, and people they love. this goes for more than the trans debate too, and I'm tired of people saying "oh well maybe if you're nice to them!". if you preach hate, expect hate.
