I take the philosophy of trying to meet people where they are and understanding that most of them are in the position that I was 9 years ago. I'll use the language of whoever I'm speaking to(if the person is at all willing to have a conversation - a lot of TRAs aren't) and just pick at the edges a little, encourage them to think about what they're saying and to do more research. You can't change someone's mind if they tune out your words. I deal with TRAs pretty much daily, because of my interest groups and liberal beliefs, so I have to be careful how much I say and at what time.

I don't give "anti-trans" much thought, though. I don't hate anyone on a personal level, just some people have bad ideas or harmful beliefs. Everyone is still human, and still entitled to basic respect and equal protection under the law. That core philosophy is never going to change for me, no matter how much abuse or name-calling I get in return. I'm better than them, so I don't have to dehumanize them.

Also, I don't believe that 'trans' as a concept exists. People are male or female.
