Yeah but so many Conservatives won’t even accept trans people even if they’re friends or family, thats my point. We are at such a low level that hatred seemingly overpowers any sense of love of community for many, even for the people closest to them.
It’s still about personal desire over public good, though. That’s my point. Doing something only because it hurts something you care about, rather than because it damages a part of society that doesn’t directly impact you, is killing us. Both metaphorically and physically. Having empathy for people directly in your life is good… but having empathy for those who are little more than a concept in every day life is how society will better itself.
