    Just because someone is living this doesnt mean they have a full understanding of things. Skepticism is important, even more so from allies since they have the same goals.

    Just because a transphobe has said something doesnt mean someone else saying a similar thing has the same intent.

    I find it odd that this group thats trying so hard to stop being an out group, is one of the most aggressive at banning/labelling peolle and placing them into an out group.

      Yeah, I think the person that called it hate speech in the beginning was stretching and that it wasn’t helpful.

      It’s far to commonly used, and much of society still thinks about gender and sex in the binary. But our society is also structured off these binaries and it causes issues for people who don’t neatly fit in the boxes.

      But what’s the this group shit? I’m part of that group and I have been assuming good faith and acting in good faith. Please don’t stereotype. And try to understand trans people are trying not to lose their healthcare and to have basic rights. Some of us are going to be more prickly than others.
