there's something I have said recently:

people have a right to be wrong

unfortunately, firing people for being transphobic actually makes them and everyone who loves them (and therefore wants them to have a home and food) more transphobic https://twitter.com/kmzahos/status/1265059590216937473

you, personally, probably love someone who is transphobic.

you probably do not want them to suffer or die, instead you probably want them to stop being transphobic

what people "deserve" is essentialist bullshit. people can and do change - we should be giving them the tools to

also, the people who don't change don't deserve to be beheaded, do they? institutionalized power has given them the wrong information, is that their fault?
