Wow…yea, it’s hard to know how to best react. On one hand, I’ve tried to have compassion and ask what’s upsetting them, but that rarely helps. Sometimes I try to remind them to respect others, but that rarely helps either. I know a lot has to do with the difficulty in being trans, but that’s not an excuse to always be a jerk. I’ve been to many meet ups with trans women and discussed being more positive, but have gotten mix results, sadly mostly negative. I don’t really know how to process this sort of thing. But I’ve gotten to the point where I simple won’t tolerate disrespect for any reason. I give people once chance (Ie I I show compassion and try to understand, but if they continue I call them out on it, or walk away)
