How transphobia is being used by Russia for US political interference
This is the current modus operandi of Russian-backed political interference in western democracies. It's not just the hateful propaganda spread during election-years, or troll comments on mainstream news stories.
Sometimes it takes this form, supporting the narrative that black Americans and white transgenders are at odds. Splitting the left political spectrum against itself. Maintaining the appearance of liberal discord.

Last night I looked into vrchat and got an invite instantly from a friend to a private movie theater world where they had just started “your name”
I pulled a chair into my vr space and sat and watched the whole thing with them, trying to put my feet up on the imaginary chair in front of me over and over.
After it ended I had to leave because I’d filled my headset with tears and had a crying headache. We all sat for two hours crying into our headsets.

My community both here and in my geographical area is gender diverse and you’re all beautiful. You’re valid. I’m proud to be friends with gentle cis-het asexual men that paint their nails, gay bears that laugh like Santa Claus, butch lesbians that brew a killer coffee, and trans men teaching me how to lift.
I’d much rather know the you that you want to be, than the you that strangers expect to see.
