Trans issues, cis issues, argh
@Jacel We should be aiming for better than our opponents. Friendly fire creates enemies. Justifying the demand for others' emotional labor to permit us our venting of spleen is a shitty move and we should do better than that.

@Jacel At the risk of oversimplifying and exaggerating, I think there's a pretty big gap between "we have to stop letting them kill us" and "we need to kill them back to show them how it feels." Calling out anti-trans attitudes, expressions of trans pride, pointing out the history of erasure and identity loss, sure. Invalidating cis identity, even humorously, doesn't really seem to help us.

@Jacel Even just pointing out that cis _is_ an identity can be fraught enough, to say nothing of "human," "singlet," "orthomorph," "organic," "person," or any of a bunch of other possible ways in which folks can vary from the default set of assumptions. Weaponizing such ideas is bound to be a bad move.
