So no one thinks I'm a troll, I completely support trans people doing whatever the fuck they want with their bodies. And I don't mind seeing trans stuff. But with that said, I feel like the hundreds and hundreds of posts I see about trans people is not helping. Going off like this site and a few others I browse you'd think trans people are like 40% of people instead of more like 2%.

I feel like constantly putting them in the spotlight, even to say you support them is just contributing to this "trans awareness burnout" I hear about in a lot of my non-leftist conversations. I mean i almost never see posts saying stuff like "I support indigenous Americans/homeless people/etc". And not because we don't, but because it's so obvious we don't feel the need to talk about it. Shouldn't trans people be the same way?

Anywho I'd love to hear thoughts, change my mind or kneel to my clearly superior intellect and dialectical understanding. :kubrick-stare:

    The long and short of this subject is that reactionaries' fears are entirely ungrounded from reality - nothing you can do can make them worse, because they're already doing it as fast as they can

    Oh sure, they'll cite whatever their targets might have said recently, but never in a way that comprehends it, much less references anything real about it. You can bet they'll pretend to misunderstand you, and they'll make accounts pretending to be [target] to try to guilt you as being responsible for your enemies' bigotry, and if you have any sense you'll slap them the fuck down about it
