Secure Trans rights to medical care, marriage, adopt, discrimination (workplace/housing), BUT (for now) step away from trans women in scholastic sports, back off on gender surgery for minors. OR...Go for broke, all or nothing. Lose everything gained, if you can't have it all right now.
It’s a hard concept to internalize, but I promise you that if you’re willing to compromise on some human rights, you’ve made clear that all human rights are negotiable. Even yours.
Which do you pick? How many generations have African-Americans worked to get basic rights and STILL don't have them equally to white people? Are you willing to gamble that too because the same truly anti-trans people are proably not your friends either. Nor Democracies, or an open free society.
#InAStunningPlotTwist, I'm friends with quite a few Black trans folk. Not a single one of them is telling me to accept the slightly less transphobic genocide. So I'm gonna follow their lead. Also, fuck you.
So you're actually saying you'd support someone who said that parents who don't want black kids playing sports with their kids have valid concerns?
No. That's racism.
Ah, so you understand the problem now. I'm glad you figured that out over the last 24 or so hours.
I'm not sure what you gain by being a rather foolish smart alec but....you be you, i'll be me. Best of luck to you.
Invoking the experience of Black Americans when arguing that we should be ok with politicians who are hostile to trans existence is an evil thing, Alec.
