calling them "the red station" is a running joke here now

2018-11-25 01:02:58 UTC  

If they're rational, be there and give the information,

If they're irrational, no amount of facts will change their feelings, so you have to connect to their emotional state

2018-11-25 01:03:08 UTC  

I'm reminded of the movie: Jupiter Ascending

2018-11-25 01:03:13 UTC  

giving facts only pushes them away at taht point

2018-11-25 01:03:28 UTC  

I hate using emotions to get a point across

2018-11-25 01:03:41 UTC  

it sucks, but it works for 50% of the people 😛

2018-11-25 01:03:49 UTC  

thats why i keep saying you need to ask questions that will make them question themselves

2018-11-25 01:03:50 UTC  

it feels ridiculous when you do it and you almost feel dirty afterward

2018-11-25 01:03:52 UTC  

cuz those don't care for fats, only truth

2018-11-25 01:03:58 UTC  

that way it doesnt come across as pushy

2018-11-25 01:03:59 UTC  

Well I want to give them the tools to make a informed decision. Basically help them answer their questions before they make the decision. Because I think being informed allows them to make the right decision.

2018-11-25 01:04:01 UTC  

like you tricked them into believing what you had to say

2018-11-25 01:04:10 UTC  

ya, who cares about them fats anyway?

2018-11-25 01:04:16 UTC  

and it allows them to come to there own conclusion

2018-11-25 01:04:18 UTC  

they're not even human.

2018-11-25 01:04:22 UTC  

Most of the transpeople I know research the heck out of it but still viserally try to assume it will all turn out perfect

2018-11-25 01:04:27 UTC  

Whatever answer they want, I will try my best to help answer it.

2018-11-25 01:04:39 UTC  

@DrYuriMom that's called confirmation bias lol

2018-11-25 01:04:51 UTC  

I know

2018-11-25 01:04:54 UTC  

You might see it that way @Dusty Morgan

But they might see it as "You're crazy, read this and go get some sane-pills from a docter, you loon"

And feel insulted, like you're not there to help them

2018-11-25 01:05:05 UTC  

confirmation bias will get you hurt big time

2018-11-25 01:05:05 UTC  

I always make an effort to research the counter argument to my argument

2018-11-25 01:05:10 UTC  

I know

2018-11-25 01:05:25 UTC  

Not me, I make an effort to not have an argument to begin with 😃

2018-11-25 01:05:30 UTC  

😄

2018-11-25 01:05:44 UTC  

But even being left pretty wrecked nerve wise, I'm still glad I did it.

2018-11-25 01:06:03 UTC  

I actually had a woman argue with me because I said "Happy International Men's Day gents"

2018-11-25 01:06:14 UTC  

well sure, you called her a fag.

2018-11-25 01:06:23 UTC  

why wouldn't she mad at that?

2018-11-25 01:06:24 UTC  

That's sad, @willc

2018-11-25 01:06:51 UTC  

Because "women had to fight for their right to vote" and I'm like "what does that have to do with appreciating the efforts of men?"

2018-11-25 01:07:10 UTC  

Word

2018-11-25 01:07:12 UTC  

Isn't that not the truth, didn't they not have to fight for their vote?

2018-11-25 01:07:14 UTC  

men had to fight for their right to vote too, they just did it MUCH sooner 😄

2018-11-25 01:07:19 UTC  

Well I am there to help them...

2018-11-25 01:07:22 UTC  

Give them any answer they need.

2018-11-25 01:07:33 UTC  

And I stand behind their decision.

2018-11-25 01:07:33 UTC  

What was the name of the Brain Biologyst Chick that was by Rogen? Soh??

2018-11-25 01:07:35 UTC  

Women fought in the revolutionary war and civil war.

2018-11-25 01:07:36 UTC  

Watch that.

2018-11-25 01:07:48 UTC  

She said that most "Trans" Kids turn out to be just normal gays.
