I get that you’re saying you find it hard to understand their perspective, and this might be what’s uncomfortable for you.  I’m wondering if watching films made by transgendered people, or films about their experiences, might help you feel better.  Would you like to think more about that?

Hm, I think that one key difference between transgendered people and the rest of us is that their understanding of what’s important in life is different from the rest of us.  Maybe if you got to know the feelings they experience a little bit better, that would help you understand what they’re experiencing, and help you to stop feeling like you need to correct their understanding.

I watched a documentary on transgendered people yesterday, and it was very uncomfortable to watch.

Is it that you find it hard to understand transgendered people?
assistant
yes

So, I wonder if there’s a mismatch between the way you understand the world, and what they experience, and if that creates a feeling of unease.  Maybe it would be helpful if you could watch a film that was the opposite - you could watch films that people had made that showed their experience as transgendered people.  Do you think this would help to shift your perspective?  Could you let me know if that seems helpful?

Aren't transgendered people just playing dress-up? Why would I need to shift my perspective?
