Trans people aren’t asking for special treatment, they’re asking to not be discriminated against. They’re asking to be recognised as who they are, just like cis people take for granted. They’re murdered at a shockingly high rate. Advocating for their rights isn’t giving your daughter special treatment, it’s asking for her to expect the same level of safety everyone else enjoys. If you want that for her, the right with all their fearmongering about the dangerous trans women are the ones putting her in more danger. They’re the ones that are likely to hurt her just for existing as who she is. It’s the left that will fight for her safety, but again, not politicians. The organised left.
Only someone with the privilege to ignore all of the oppression that’s going on wants to be “neutral”, because neutrality favours the oppressor. That’s why people get angry when you talk about politics. That’s classic centrism.
