    Don’t engage, they’re someone who assumes they’re right because they don’t want to be wrong, there’s nothing there besides what they want to be, and they’ve made it clear they don’t care much about the issue.

      I don’t mind engaging. I may not be able to change them, but maybe there’s a kid out there feeling a little less alone. Or another person who just needs to be reminded that “evil starts with treatin’ people as things.”

      I’ve voted against hate and towards body autonomy in every election large or small since 1978, and while it’s been 2 steps back for every step forward, that’s no reason to give up.
