Hi, I have a transmasc boyfriend and am part of the LGBTQ+ alliance. However I started my first year of college and encountered uneducated men who just did not believe that trans people had their rights under attack. One of my friends even told my trans woman friend that she had more rights than him. How or what can you do to help others become educated without "debating trans existence" or starting an argument? Thank you.

So your only example is a strawman nobody believes?

People actually use "puberty blockers are harmful" as an actual argument so I dont think its that hard to believe.

Lol you've already pivoted your argument. Seems you're the one incapable of good faith interaction
