Main point: Assault is illegal everywhere. Bathroom bans don’t stop criminals — they target ordinary people trying to use the restroom safely.

Alternative ways to say it:

• “If someone intends harm, a sign won’t stop them. Laws and enforcement do.”
• “Safety matters — that’s why we should focus on real risk factors, not scapegoats.”
• “Trans people are far more likely to be harassed than to harass anyone.”

Main point: For minors, “transition” is usually social support (name, clothing, pronouns). Medical care is age-specific and carefully overseen with clinicians and parents/guardians.

Alternative ways to say it:

• “It’s not a vending machine. It’s healthcare.”
• “These decisions are careful and individualized — like other pediatric care.”
• “The scary internet version collapses everything into one image. Real care is step-by-step.”

Main point: Sports policy is complex and varies by sport and level. Many governing bodies already have eligibility rules — and policy debates shouldn’t become permission to dehumanize people.

Alternative ways to say it:

• “Fairness and inclusion both matter — that’s why rules are sport-specific.”
• “We can talk policy without turning an entire group into a threat.”
• “One edge case shouldn’t justify blanket discrimination everywhere.”

Main point: Trans people are far more likely to be targeted by harassment and violence than to be perpetrators. Propaganda flips victim and villain.

Alternative ways to say it:

• “The scary story doesn’t match who is actually getting hurt.”
• “Blaming a minority doesn’t reduce crime. Evidence-based safety does.”
• “If we care about safety, we should protect people who are actually at risk.”

Main point: Visibility rises when stigma falls. That doesn’t mean people are being “converted.” It means fewer people are forced into silence.

Alternative ways to say it:

• “When left-handed kids stopped being punished, the numbers ‘increased’ too.”
• “Sometimes what looks like a spike is people finally telling the truth.”
• “No one chooses a harder life for attention — especially in a hostile climate.”
