transphobia opinion, preaching to the choir
Compare trans folks complaining about being targeted by legislation and hate crimes, which is true, to the sheer volume of harassment, threat, self-righteous gatekeeping, lies, convenient statistics, and victimhood which transphobes drop at a moment's notice.
Even if I were the cissest cis male who ever cissed a cis, even if I had no trans friends, I'd still be southern and Jewish enough to bristle at folks who have goddamn everything but who are obsessed with how they've been harmed, eagerly looking for reasons to dump venom and winning the suffering Olympics on total strangers online. And I'd still be Queer and old enough to remember the sheer glee of rightwingers talking about how happy they were AIDS was killing people.
It's my profound hope that even cis straights who find the idea of transitioning to be weird, pick up on that difference in rhetoric too, and can understand who the real villains are versus who's just trying to survive.
