Background for this is over here; same trigger warning applies.
Socchan VS Roommate J's Internalized/Unconscious Transphobia: ( Round One )
Unfortunately, Round One used up my "Remember that story you told the other day" approach, as well as (potentially) the What You Did conversation. I'm going to have to re-strategize for Round Two. Current plan is to approach from the other side by explaining the idea of Internalized -Isms. I have no idea as yet what to do if that fails. (Maybe I could attempt to shut down her "I'm not transphobic!" derail/shut down with "Shut up and listen to what I'm actually trying to tell you"? Gah... I'm so much less organized in immediate conversations than respond-as-you-have-time conversations (e-mail, LJ/forum/blog comments, etc).)
