As part of the Great Awakening, I have learnt these two rules of thumb really helps not just for myself, but also to guide my friends who ask me "but what about racism? sexism? transphobia?"

  1. When you read or watch anything that makes you very emotional, STOP and Ask yourself "Who would want me to get me all charged up?". The answer to that question help you regulate your emotion and focus on the real problem.

  2. When you find yourself angry at or hating a certain group of people, no matter who they are (Transgender, White, Black, Gay, Feminists, whatever be the group) STOP and Tell yourself "These conflicts and anger between people is an illusion. I am not angry at these people. I am angry at the people manipulating these groups".
