    i should say educated in related issues. it’s demonstrable that even simple exposure to different kinds of people reduces bigotry.

    people who are bigoted can be educated, of course, but most likely they won’t really know much about the people they’re bigoted against, even when they dedicate their life to thinking about them.

    transphobes for example, barely think about anything other than trans people all day. they start transvestigating cis people as we’ve seen here.

    I’m also not trying to suggest being uneducated automatically makes you a bigot either. some obvious hyperbole has been used.
