I remember all the trans people who were murdered in 2016.

And the sad story is, we'll look back at these numbers and think "My God we had it so good back then." because the mainstream US zeitgeist is ready to throw us under the bus and it's freaking me out.
Is it gender affirming to be mansplained by squid?
Not really. I mean, a month ago if I saw transphobes in the media I could trust they'd be referred to as backwards idiots. After Trump won, I saw nothing but sympathy for bigots and "Perhaps the trans crowd overplayed their hand." dogwhistling
And I'm too scared for misogyny directed at my person by stranger on the internet to cheer me up as it usually does... That sounds weird out of context, but you know what I mean.
Ok. That doesn’t mean there was ever mainstream acceptance of trans people.
