Rant re transphobia
Honestly transphobia is a dead end; transness is almost completely inwardly directed. There are no restitutions, no disputed land, nearly no revisions to history textbooks, no dying language, no holiday outside of acknowledgment at Pride, practically no old harmful stereotypes. Literally the biggest thing you need to do to honor trans people is adapt to using unfamiliar pronouns and names. And yet here we are and it’s a huge fuss.
Rant re transphobia
I feel this is because the right needs a distraction and scapegoat they can name openly and while it’s pretty obvious who they’re attacking when they talk about “woke,” “groomer” or “globalists,” trans folks are the last group they can go after without needing a little historical-semantic dance.
