Yes. I’d say about the same amount of mine go the same way. So, when there is a success, I celebrate it.

Actually, I am. He’s not the first that I’ve turned so far, and then my conservative, never-Trump friends take over on the back up. It can be done. He’ll be the 16th that I know of at this point. If we get there. I’m thinking 3-4 more conversations might do it.

I’ve managed about 15 at this point (that I personally know of). Of course, none in my family, but. . . that’s harder because my sister takes the “you’re being mean to me” tactic, so it’s impossible. lol

Indeed, it’s very much up-hill and it’s sad that they are such frogs in the pot of propaganda.

I never asserted to him that it’s a pathway to citizenship. It’s technically a pathway to permanent residence, which is “getting their paperwork in order” and this was all in the information (links) that I provided to him. So, I wasn’t inaccurate as I never made that claim to him.

And/or she was trafficked.

I had the most interesting discussion with a pro-Trump guy about this today. He’s very much anti-DACA as “immigration reform”

yes, of course.  

Yeah, I see it differently:

Well, as they say “a drunk mind says what a sober mind thinks.”

Thanks for clarifying.

Yeah. I think that’s what happened. I have no knowledge of Feminist Current or the relevant dog whistles that you mention.

I see I got my lines all crossed. I’m sorry for missing everything and getting my lines all crossed in my reading of what you wrote.

I do understand completely. The bullet system has been really, really useful for me in this regard.

Ah, I assumed that this person was experiencing transmisogyny as a trans person — that is, that trans doesn’t exist or exists for such nefarious purposes as you mention, or because a person is messed up/etc.

I agree with you that there is so much transmisogyny and bad stuff that people are just so unconscious of (similar to white racial frame, i believe there is a cis-het frame, too!). I’m sorry that you’re struggling with so much on your own and that I don’t have any resources in your area for you. I would in my area,…

Yes. you’ll be surprised at how much positive attention you get and how much older women want to engage.

So, I support CPS, but would recommend going to a family lawyer first — having someone help you navigate is the best option.

Isn’t that the oddest thing?

Good stuff.
