I’m a transgender woman and like most of our kind, I’m fucking horrified.
The Democrats are blaming us for 2024’s lossx
Trump signed an executive order criminalizing our existence
And I’ve had cis friends turn on me, telling me “People like you should have left children out of it, you’ve hurt your cause forever!!111!11”
I have no hope for the future, I feel truly and horrifically, cooked.
I just wanna know. Why did this happen? Why does everyone suddenly hate transpeople when Anti-Trans Policies were deeply unpopular as recently as 2023?
Why? Why? Why?
I just want to know, what did we do wrong? What changed? Why is this happening to us? When do the papers come saying they’ve “corrected my gender marker” or are they just going to drag me off to the camps instead?
I just… I’m trying to hold it together, and I fucking can’t.
You’ve done nothing wrong. If the children thing could find any brain space, it was because liberals were “tolerating” trans people. If instead they really felt and understood gender as a social construct and a way to express oneself, and relate to others (or whatever your transfeminist definition of gender is), then there’s no way to go “too far” by teaching that to children, or just showing the diversity that develops out of it. “You’ve gone too far” sounds something that a zookeeper says to a jailed monkey who many smiled to when jailed, but became angry and upset when the monkey wanted to go out through the bars and be treated equally.
My point is: a shallow opinion for support, can become a shallow opinion against, in a short time. Gotta keep fighting.
