I have a friend whom I agree a lot on but while we were echoing each others shared opinions on sjws/snowflakes he brought up how he doesnt think Trans people should be in the bathroom different from their biological sex.

Well I found my self disagreeing with him and I need to bring this up with him again and make sure he knows I dont agree with him on this. But I want to do it in a way that doesnt demonize him for it but I want to clearly let him know why I think that way and dont support his view.

My thought of logic was, well until that bill hit NC have trans always been in the bathroom of their preferred gender? We just have never known (am I wrong on this or was that not correct information?).

I know some of you will say dont be friends with a person like that. I simply cant do that. I think the way to change people is not through neglect but care. If you are too harsh on a person, that will simply strengthen their position and they will think to themselves "see how this person with that opinion treated me?" I think it fills people with bitter hate. So instead I am going to instead opt for friendship and care so instead over time he can think: "well my friend thinks this and I respect him as a person so maybe its not that bad".

On the other side of the spectrum I have my other feminist friend who I believe secretly thinks less of me for disliking sjws but wont vocalize his concerns as he avoids conflict as much as possible.

I know making this topic wont solve this but maybe some of you have some good feedback, so my ears are open.
