    My personal go-to is, “They’re a human being, just like you.”

      Sadly, they often disagree. The whole basis of bigotry is the idea that I’m human and you’re less than.

        Being human doesn’t make you good. Plenty of humans are monsters. They’re not some eldritch evil that simply started existing hating, they chose this.

        That makes them worse, of course… but still very very human.

        In drag’s experience, calling someone a human is a tremendously vicious insult if you have cool enough friends.
