    So is judging and regulating away healthcare for others.

    I don’t care how nice someone might be if they’re currently harming someone else. You should extend your sympathy to the strangers they harm before the conservatives themselves…

      I have been directly affected by these kinds of bills. I have been through hell and back because of them. I know the harm that they do. Of course I care deeply about the people who are affected by these bills.

      My point is that you’re generalizing and dehumanizing a large population of people. “Conservative” has a thousand definitions and is dependent on the person. It’s like saying “liberal,” where that can mean anything from anarcho-communist to a clintonite. Do I heavily disagree with most conservative beliefs? Yes. Do I think that people can change and grow as people? Absolutely. Those two things can be true at the same time. Life isn’t black and white. How the hell are we going to stop this trans panic without education, activism, and believing others can change?
