The trick is to go ahead and have a personal preference and act on it appropriately, but not act like the other person is inferior or flawed for their qualities or otherwise discriminate against them.

Who’s to say your bad isn’t someone else’s (cough Faris cough) good?

The point is to give them tools to help themselves and make decisions for themselves within an environment of love and trust, and to not connect a failure to carry out your advice with shame and blame.

I think you can teach them how to defend themselves and how to avoid getting into some situations and how to say no while not making it about how they look or act around people.

I was wondering when someone was going to ask :)

Ah, no worries. I can see how it could be ambiguous the way I phrased it. I meant govt can fire you from govt job, not govt can fire you from private sector job.

I wasn’t saying that? My point was the government doesn’t owe you free speech in the workplace just because you are their employee. Spencer isn’t owed a platform on govt time and soil just because they offered him some money this one time.
