    They have been in victory dance mode for NINE FUCKING YEARS at this point. Everyone loves them, hate crimes are up, and I am pretty sure that if you press them closely enough "I did it for the lulz" is the main reason WHY these hate crimes happen. They won the culture wars.

    They'd at least be a little less insufferable if they just admitted they were the mainstream establishment.

      They lost.

      Do you not remember how more than a decade ago making fun of trans people was normal?

      They lost the culture war, but they control the us government.

      They are banning queer books from school libraries. A decade ago there weren’t that many queer books even in the school libraries.

        And we've got states making the very conversation of their existence illegal.

        Progress! Weeee!

        A decade ago, conservatives were just coming to terms with the existence of trans people. Now its a full blown witch hunt.

          They are doing it because most people thought about it and went “trans people are real and not a punchline”

          This shit is pure reactionary from them because just killing people is unpopular.
