You can’t give an inch is the issue. Not only because we’re talking about fundamental human rights (trans people should just accept not being permitted to engage in sports?) but because it only shifts the Overton window onto the next thing with arguments now strengthened by capitulation.
If you permit transphobes the position that trans women are dangerous in sports it becomes easier to point to that and say “see, they are also dangerous in [new domain of contention], the progressives even agree!
If you really want to help this person I’d suggest being a friend to him. Don’t talk about the stuff you disagree on. Every time he mentions it, be very clear that you emphatically disagree and that the positions that he holds cause you harm. Do not get drawn into a debate, just states how it negatively affects you and end the conversation. If he can accept that boundary then you can build a friendship, and that friendship will eventually provide you with the sufficient mutual respect to potentially begin to change minds with open and vulnerable conversation. It has to be a real friendship though, you can’t be faking it.
That’s all a lot of energy and effort, but it’s the kind of sustained relational support that can effectively promulgate change.
I’ve used it a little. The bags can be very unpredictable. Whether it’s a good deal or not often feels a bit like a roll of the dice which seems to make it necessarily more of a novelty
Fairly adolescent, digestible, pulp sci fi. It has fun moments as it zips its way through yawningly predictable character arcs towards its sugar rush of an ending. Best read when you are half concentrating on something more important you should be doing.
I tried Thai stick in northern Thailand in the 00s. You would drive out of town, past a military checkpoint and towards a local waterfall and dealers would pop out of the bushes. The weed itself was nothing to write home about but driving it back into town past the military point was hair raising (and very dumb)

Eh, people don’t like twitter. That’s not weird.
Well I’m here

Let’s see if this works
I’m a woman and child
You’re right. Narcissists are generally very concerned with what other people think - specifically about them.

Sure, it’s the nature of it. Good cheap way to get a quick meal in London if you don’t care what you get

It’s the same picture
I believe the memo is saying meta will benefit in the end because they can utilise community innovation already built in their own architecture

I found discovery diverting but I’m enjoying strange new worlds and lower decks immensely more
