   Maybe start by not holding such prejudice in your heart.

     People, it is all just this simple.

     YOU ONLY GET TO CHOOSE FOR YOU.

     That is all. You do not get to choose for anyone else. You do not get to say what another person gets to choose.

     YOU ARE NOT THE BOSS OF ANYONE BUT YOURSELF.

     You do not get privileged information about others that no one else gets because somehow you feel you are a superior being, you are NOT.

     Each one of us gets to chose for ONE. Y o u r s e l f.

     If you are pretending that you get to choose for others, WE ARE GOING TO FIGHT YOU because your thought that you get to choose for others, IMPERILS OUR ABILITY TO RETAIN OUR CHOICE FOR OURSELVES.

     Stop it.

     YOU ONLY GET TO CHOOSE FOR YOU.

     End rant.

     @georgetakei I don't "understand" trans. But I also know it is not for me to understand it. I don't "understand" what it really means to be Black either. I do know from watching real life, that some people hate other people because of who they are. I do know that this is wrong. That is all I need to understand.
