Local :reddit-logo: is bursting with them right now due to some college swimmer or something. So so so so many "I support trans people / think they deserve a place in society / have a trans friend BUT (transphobia)"

Seen someone talking about Micheal Phelps' natural biological advantages and that seems to shut them up, but other dunks would be appreciated

    “They deserve a place in society” means they are offering them an alternate designation in addition to (but below) cisgendered people, in a perpetually othered state.

    I think that's a really powerful observation to explain to well-meaning people what exactly it is they're suggesting. A place in society simply means undeserving of random acts of violent persecution, but that's an absurdly low bar, even by :amerikkka: standards.
