Is it ok to do the right thing even if it might be anti-trans?
Compassion is everything, it's what makes us human. We must show it to everyone, even those who we disagree with. That's why we must physically and emotionally reject our unjabbed friends and family. People are free to do what they want so long so long as it doesn't hurt others. The problem is that somethings do hurt others and actions have consequences.
These anti-vaxxers are spreading just as much disinformation as they are viral loads. They are infecting and killing, us safe and protected vaccinated folk. Culling them from your inner circles helps create a fairer and freer society. This tough love will coerce them into becoming better humble people, people like me. Whats more, it can be surprisingly easy, rewarding & even moorish but there are some circumstances that require moral nuance.
For example, take my example; I've probably cut out 12 people so far including Friends. Sisters, Uncles and Imams. Each culling has become increasingly enjoyable. It started with your standard face to face (masked of course) dispute but I've streamlined my social-culling-game down to an email, coupled with a hurtful social media post. This way it makes you feel less attached to any fallout.
However, I've got one more of these “friends” left to cull, she’s an old school-friend, a former bezzie if you will. I intentionally left her last as this is a very delicate case. While she is un-jabbed she's also actually Trans. Now, I know in my heart I need to cut her out as well, but she and her people (mainly just her people tbh) have been through so much persecution and emotional turmoil from our unsavoury world.
On the one hand she's a 6ft 2” ball of inspiration, on the other, she is a spreader of disinformation and a vector for disease. So I have delicately drafted an email for her below. I believe I have managed to do my part in fighting the virus, whilst also showing respect to her people and keeping my moral righteousness in tact.
Please leave me your advice in the comments.
Dear Jimmy,
Your stunning track record of bravery knows no bounds; from being raised an ethnic minority to being imprisoned in an all female institution, I will always be proud of you. We as a society owe you a debt, simply because of how you were born. I will defend to my death the choices that you make with your body. But you are no longer welcome around me, my family or any of the venues I wish to frequent.
Kinds regardsKaren

Ok , the answer is science. Well, actually it's math.
What you need to do is establish a weight for each Intersectionality Oppression they have.
So you can score each oppression, eg:
- BIPOC
- LGBTQIA
- age
- physical disability
- mental disability
Add those up. Then establish a score where you'd never cull them, regardless of them being anti-ro vax.
Then, compare their combined Oppression Intersectionality score against that value.
This was you can dispassionately explain to your black friend why you needed to cull them, but we're able to keep your Trans friend.
