Sometimes I think we need a Freaky Friday sort of thing to happen. Can she just wake up as a black trans woman tomorrow, just for a few days? Walk in their shoes?
What are the rules?
I think if you disparage a group of people, it would be helpful to live as one for awhile. So there should be a greater chance of rolling that.
Other than that, straight up randomizing would probably work ok (since everything is a pyramid most at the top would be trading down economically), and you need to acquire enough knowledge when transfered to know what the daily life is - where to go for work or school, familiarity with the situation you are in, the basics of your job. It's a lesson not a punishment, right?
Wait, does this mean I might have to walk in the shoes of a MAGA Evangelical? Because I don't know that I can learn a lesson from being someone incapable of learning lessons.
Yes, I think you would be increasing your chance of landing that. Yes. And sorry.
When you've just turned trans and you're dodging klans, well you gotta go and find out the rules.
