You wouldn’t say “oh, it’s fine that that democratic candidate called for gay marriage to be ended, because I’m pretty sure he doesn’t mean it.” Only trans people are expected to take that. Stop asking us to. It’s not fair. It’s not reasonable. We’ve fucking been through enough.

“Republicans have made you unpopular by demonizing you, so we’re going to play into that to get votes.” If we were talking about taking voting rights away from Black people, or barring Muslims from holding certain public offices, or any other kind of civil rights backslide, you’d see the problem.

I’m sick of takes like “dumb trans people don’t understand that people like Talarico and Peltola are only claiming to oppose trans rights to get moderate votes.” Let’s say that’s true. I don’t think it’s a given, but let’s treat it as one. You’d never expect any other group to be okay with that!

Hi, trans person here. With respect, could you please stop saying this shit? I’m not ASSUMING that. I’m WORRIED about it. When someone says “I oppose your civil rights,” it’s worrying, even if you think they might not mean it. Trans people have been through a lot. Stop insulting us for worrying.
