These are all great suggestions, I support this answer. :)

Like she said, this is pretty key:

Start out by getting a sense of where they are. Ask them what their understanding of what a trans person is. Let them know that you're not judging them for their beliefs but just trying to get a sense of what their understanding is because chances are they have come to believe it's something different than what it is.

The way we will be able to effectively spread awareness about the harms of gender ideology is by meeting people where they are at. If nothing else-- an outsider to the situation will look at us and then look at TRAs and say: "Well, this group wants to just cancel and yell at and refuse to listen to anyone who criticized them, and this other group just wants to have an honest conversation. Maybe there is something to this second group." That is the power of two-way dialogue. Gender ideology believers often take a dictatorial tone, and that alone puts people off.
