Youd be surprised how quickly the rabid hate drops when people realize you aren't being hateful yourself. Nearly every time since I came to terms with who I am, I just don't accept the hate. I just say "that seems excessive and cruel" and other stuff along with "no I dont think that way" and "I think that is wrong" and eventually most people just stop doing it and are capable of having a reasonable conversation. Most people I have met also think that children are mistreated and stifled, and usually cite the way school is and certain parenting strategies that seem common. Especially old people and 18-21 year olds, because old people grew up with the freedom that modern children lack (or some of it at least) and 18-21 year olds, despite being legal adults even in the eyes of antis, are frequently frustrated that they still get treated like children. Did you know hotels won't let you rent a room until you are 21, will never explain why, and keep your money even though you already reserved the room? They are easy to get talking about it because they get a really raw deal too. Not as raw as little kids, but still pretty bullshit.
