Part of not being transphobic is accepting that trans people don't have to be likeable to count as trans. There are pieces of shit in every walk of life and expecting all trans people to have politics that align with yours means your acceptance of gender identity is entirely conditional and therefore never really existed in the first place and was just something you said to at best look good but in effect also to exploit trans people for your own gains.
this is once again https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magical_Negro in new clothes.
they always do this. did it with jews in europe, they did it with black people, they're doing it with trans people. serve us, be the thing we imagine you to be, or else you're useless to us and deserve destruction.
fucking hell.

Charlemagne is such a clown
Absolutely. I bet you can immediately conjure the 'good' and 'bad' stereotype of literally any wfen remotely marginalized group within a second after hearing one named.
It's clear libs only "support" various minority groups because they believe they are on the same political team. As soon as you fall out of line, so does their "support". You see this happen every time the left uses political energy towards anything not explicitly in an effort to elect democrats. See BLM, Covid, Palestine protests, all local organizing.
Right? She should be (the first two pages of 'discipline and punish') but we can use the public exemplary violence to also send a positive affirming signal to trans people.
