When politicians talk about how trans people are subhuman or deranged or biblically evil, it contributes to trans people being stigmatized and depressed. As a result of this culture of cruelty, many trans people end up committing suicide.

Where are the corporations firing these people? Just because trans teens sometimes commit suicide quietly behind closed doors does not make the violence somehow less terrible.

    My fellow trans ally, your post is a good showcase of what I find is wrong with how some people talk about this stuff.

    And there’s a third way of looking at it

    So, you mean as in a “here’s an argument: my fist” way, you’re not really describing a third way.

    people who shouldn’t have an opinion about it at all

    Really? People shouldn’t be having opinions at all since they don’t have perfect knowledge? Do you know these are the interwebs?

    suddenly full of right-wing talking points

    Ah, the payload - a label is applied, good thing we haven’t engaged with arguments, it was just right-wing talking points. If the right is ever by some miracle blessed with the exceedingly rare someone who speaks the truth, us on the left will have real problems.
