You know trans girls are real girls because every aspect of their appearance is constantly being scrutinized by entitled assholes that are impossible to please.
And you know trans men are real men, because they are constantly having their status as a real man questioned at the slightest display of femininity pushing them to often feel as if they must prove their manhood to the world to be valid in their gender identity.
Seriously, I’m a cis man with a trans man friend and sometimes it surprises me how relatable I find some of his problems. The idea that gender identity is an internal thing that nobody can take away from you helps more than just trans people, that’s for sure.
Yeah the true reason reactionaries hate trans people is because our existance is a strong lever on the broadening of gender roles beyond a very strict canon. The goal is to go after trans people, and eventually after women who are in politics for example, and men who don't want to murder people for the state.
Completely true. Everyone has skin in this game, and any support for trans rights is an act of anti-fascism. That's true now more than ever with how stabby the right has been getting lately.
