Yeah, having a diverse friend group certainly helps someone have a broader worldview. Hard to hate trans people when you know some and find out that strangely enough, they are not in fact predators, and are completely normal people with thoughts, emotions, and opinions. It’s a lot harder to hate a group when you know and like members of that group. Except for those that are so devoted to the bigotry that they view the “acceptable” people as “one of the good ones”. Good prevention though, probably good for middle schoolers near the beginning of the pipeline.
