    Some of them do overreact… And quite loudly…
    It’s honestly relatable considering how persecuted trans people are right now (it’s now a crime to have anything not related to your assigned gender at birth, in the presence of a minor, in Ohio. So it’s basically illegal for JD Vance to go to Ohio because of the eyeliner and mascara.)

    But as relatable as it is, transphobia-phobia does quite a lot for furthering transphobia…

      For context, I live in Scandinavia, where to my knowledge there’s very minimal oppression against sexual minorities, including trans. So possibly that is why the activism seems a tad crazy to me whereas it might very well be sane in some contexts.

        People kill trans people here… They recently removed protections of trans inmates against rape in prison… They trying to classify it as a mental illness… There’s a loooot of crazy anti trans stuff going on.
