Not my usual kind of source (Xitter), but I want any centrists out there who ask trans people to "just get along" / compromise with actual hate groups that want them eradicated to know that it doesn't work.

There is no such thing as a reasonable bigot, by definition.

Stop 👏🏼 arguing 👏🏼 about 👏🏼 trans 👏🏼 issues 👏🏼

She's right about one thing, it's a slope we can't gain any traction on right now, and the more time we spend on it, the more we slide backwards with both actual trans rights and voter opinion.

Every time someone attacks on trans rights just say "shut the hell up, who cares, look at the disaster of an economy we're all suffering in."

What a stupid take
You seem to think that we only fight one battle at a time, which is not true

Not defending our lives is the losingest strategy of them all

Fuck that. Trans people are my friends. Transphobes can catch these hands.
