Personally, I think that gay rights are pretty relevant to this thread given how many gay Critical left wing Tory haters seem to be saying that they will vote to protect their children. Trying to clarify a pretty meaningless statement, that's all. Have to also say the idea that anyone gay or lesbian can dismiss broken Betty's experience is pretty disgusting and bigoted to me
Been here, done this, can we fast forward to the bit where people pretend they always supported it?
I always urge people who may have legitimate questions of what it means to be trans, what the challenges and worries faced by trans people are, and what they want from legislation to talk to a trans person, ask the blunt questions.
I’ve had numerous conversations with women and men who have self admittedly “not gotten it” or “had concerns” and when I ask “how many trans people do you know? And many do you know well enough to invite for dinner?” The answer is usually 0. When people get the chance to ask questions, most moved to a phase of “oh, whatever, seems fine? Seems like we share the same concerns?” , some were “still don’t get it but I see now”.
You may sit there thinking, “but I just get called a terf online when I ask questions!!!!”, yeah probably , trans people live a life of constant harassment in all spheres, medical, work, social, personal, it’s hard man, online isn’t the place for it, as it’s not the place for any discussion really, just memeing and shitposting.
Trans people Just want access to healthcare, just want legal protection to be seen as themselves, just want to feel safe in public and live really boring lives paying rent and hating our job.
