Do you think this movie is so powerful it could change the mind of transphobes?

Do you think if they've see it, they realize hate is wrong?

It is a powerful film, but I don't think it could change the mind of transphobes.

In this day and age, people are transphobic only because they choose to be. There is enough information and representation that you have to be actively trying to be willfully ignorant to stay that way.

Depends how you define "transphobe".

If by "transphobe" you mean people who believe in biological sex, who don't believe in offering medical transitions to minors, or those who have used the wrong pronoun occasionally, as so many do, then you are the one who needs to realize that those things are not the same as real hate.

Hate is expressed in many ways, not just physical.

Disagreement is not hate.

Is it a hateful statement ?
