I’ve come across bad news that my home state has passed a really shitty law regarding trans people. Are there things I can do to help change this and all of the other shitty policies and attitudes at home?

    It is hard to use facts to counter an emotional preference, especially when that emotional preference is “I feel good when bully outgroup”. If enough people choose to see compassion as an evil weakness, compassion will become a crime.

    All you can do is be a person who does not oppress. But, within a human world, you cannot by force of will become someone who is not a target of oppression. The best you can do is to refuse to change your morality in order to gain the benefits that come with apparent conformity.
