As a young Republican activist this lady felt like a valued community member. A precious feeling. Doesn't want to perceive the big picture.
Always the same delusions:
● "The hate is only coming from a minority."
● "The attacks are not directed at respectable individuals like me."
● "_I_ haven't felt effects personally, so everything is basically ok."
● "By representing our group, I can change the minds of the attackers."
With few exceptions (unless the person in question serves as an extremely useful token, looking at you, Clarence Thomas), the leopards show up eventually. I hope she wakes up first.
Republican, Democrat, independent --- We must all align on basic human rights. Trans rights are human rights. From there, we can discuss policy, but until there is basic respect for a person to live authentically, the rest of the conversation is on hold.
Why is it that i feel the (trans) women in this article are living on another planet.
So many things point at well funded (Heritage Foundation++) right wing groups playing a pivotal role in transphobic government policies. These groups are active to the point of attempting to eradicate our tribe.
Detaching from the (no longer united) States of America transphobic realty is not an option. Take the “right” side for the sake of our communities survival, whatever the candidates political party!
I don't give a shit about a truscum woman. "passing privilege" is toxic and some cis women don't even "pass". The cognitive dissonance she feels is because she's a moron. (Sorry for how aggressive this sounds, but "passing" conversations make me pissed off. Love, another trans woman)
I do not understand why anyone treats it as an unfathomable mystery that, generally speaking, a person doesn't want to talk to another person with whom they are likely to disagree most of the time. It is unpleasant to talk and then disagree every time, and one shared identity isn't enough to make it any better.
Americans don't like to talk to other Americans to disagree all the time; why should it be different if we switch out 'American' for 'LGBTQ+'?
Always among the marginalized, a few in denial.

Yah, it's always "how come the leopards are eating my face! I'm one of the good ones!" GIRL. We gotta be united.

Yikes!
