Trying to discuss Trans issues on the internet

[FTMDiaries]

In my experience, out of every 10 people you try to educate on trans issues on the Internet, just one of them may be open to persuasion and intelligent dialogue; if you're lucky they might even come away reconsidering their views.

The other 9 out of 10? They're those monkeys from the Infinite Monkey Theorem: banging away at their keyboards, trying to figure out how to type up the complete works of Shakespeare.

Any commenter who fails the Monkey Test (as I call it) get short shrift from me.

You take back what you just said about unicorns or I'll punch you right in the nose!

Sorry! I misstyped - women aren't real, unicorns are P:

Even in person many people hear but don't listen.  You can give them a good explanation and they'll nod their heads politely as if they understand.  But the next time they talk about it it's right back to the dark side.
