  > grew up on a farm in Maine btw, I can guarantee I have more interaction with Trump voters than you I raise you rural Wyoming, Arizona and the California Indian-American community. > own brother has swallowed the anti trans propaganda. I’ve heard all the tired, hateful arguments they make Sure. Then there is nothing more to be learned from them—listening doesn’t imply listening infinitely. Most people never get to step one. They have a totem of the other side’s fears and arguments (or collapse the issue into a false dichotomy). I certainly don’t understand how what should be a niche, private issue became so relatable to so many in this way. (And I suspect those who see trans people as another colour of human being don’t either. Or we’d be able to address it.)
