@briellebouquet @moira @seano @georgetakei i’ve seen leftists do “whichever gender lets us hurt you more”, I definitely do not assume that centre or left are not hostile towards trans people- openly hostile, pretend tolerance, just plain toxic apathy (by far the most abundant) to very very very rare trans allies- not to be mistaken for “allies” who will pay lip service to trans acceptance but tell us we’re overreacting when we point out obvious transphobia.
@briellebouquet @moira @seano @georgetakei to most cis folk, trans people being treated like garbage is just the normal status quo and the only thing they will consider to be “real” transphobia is physical violence… maybe, if they don’t assume we provoked it somehow
