I saw a woman yesterday with a “protect trans kids” bumper sticker. I wanted to say something so bad, but the anger I felt prevented me from doing so. Plus she outweighed me by at least 100lbs.
In all seriousness though, I didn’t know what to say. Nor did I imagine it would do anything to help shift her perspective. But damn, I had to bite my tongue. I’m about ready to call out all these fuckers bullshit. I do believe public shaming will be the only way to stop this madness. Soon.
I agree. It was the anger that stopped me. I need to channel that first, otherwise I’m afraid all that would have come out of my mouth would have been something like, “are seriously that fucking retarded to believe children can be trans? I hope you never have children and if you do, they know you’re completely batshit crazy.”
Yes being measured is the better approach but I completely understand your anger. I feel the same. For me it usually comes out as mocking rather than perjoratives. Still I cant let tyranny stand. I am compelled to say something even if its the wrong thing. I cant help myself. But being cognizant of my own flaws it helps to temper my words. At least a bit.

Speak up fren. Have courage. The future of our species depends on your voice.

Not sure that’s the approach to take?

Yeah, I’m gonna pray on it. Calling them out is critically important though. I firmly believe that. Thanks fren.
