Beginning? Until somewhat recently being trans in this country was all but a death sentence and for many still is. Over the past few decades that has been getting better for us and I’m actually in a relatively safe place. What’s going on in those states feels more like an attempt to return to the days where our suppression and eradication was the status quo. It is not the beginning but the end unless the US goes full fash (look up Magnus Hirschfeld and the institute he founded).

The only ways I see it being insensitive is that most trans people in the us don’t currently experience anything like the horrors that Palestinians do. Also calling it the beginning is ignoring what has been going on in this puritanical hellhole since it’s inception.
