There are always a few crazies on either end that we all have to deal with.
for my gender identity,
My suggestion would be to live somewhere where the majority of the people you live amongst don’t give a flying f about your gender identity and will not harass you about it.
And then work politically for change, maybe even running for office.
And if you can’t move, try to find others with the same circumstances as you and network with them, work together, and try to affect change as a group.
I’m not going to treat those people the way I would want to be treated

See? Does that say “all”? Why are you going out of your way to make it seem like I said something I didn’t?
