>>40254494All this grandstanding and you still managed to say nothing. The only thing you conveyed to me is that you think you're chatting with a caricature.
I reject the "coming for your kids" framing of the right. It is a lie. Outright. It's as much of an overreach as any of the abuses and insanity put forth by the "woke".
Insofar as the very unsubtle use of the "oppression Olympics" frame to imply that trans people should accept their suffering because sweat shops exist, it's also nonsense.
Trans people aren't an economic underclass. Or a race. Or a nation with a bad government.
We are born randomly into any family at any place, time or strata of society.
This breaks comparisons like those you are trying to make.
It also creates a natural incentive for the majority to treat us fairly. Because we can be their own kin.
In times before knowledge was easy to access a lot of gay and trans people would repress their lives away thinking they were the only people like themselves, or that everyone felt like them and that it was normal to pretend otherwise.
This is no longer possible. Trans people will keep figuring out what they are and expressing it with or without legal medical care and rights.
Right now conservatives are trying to undo that situation. It won't work.
It will just fuel a generation of backlash and rage against the cruelty and stupidity happening now.
Speaking of good times. The 2010s were a peak, but not the peak. Kind of like how being a smug white guy is having a good run right now.
Enjoy it. It won't last. Everything changes, for better and worse and we can't control it as much as we'd like to think.
