Also it aired at the same time as the 2020 US presidential election, so the meme wires got crossed and people were using it to announce electoral results too, transforming it into a news announcement meme generally

The framing on this issue has been a little weird, so to be clear, Seattle is a great place for trans people to relocate if out of the country isn't an option. The resources to make a move to Seattle accessable to lower income trans people is what is at stake here! So the state of emergency opening up funds would be really crucial to the small network of trans nonprofits who are spread thin. In the meantime, donating money or time to these nonprofits goes a long way!
That's kind of a fucked up thing to comment on a picture of a black woman surrounded by racists
Not uncontroversial in some spaces, but I have heard some trans masc folks describe that intersection as transandrophobia to distinguish it from misandry.
Once upon a time when the internet was small and niche, this may have been true. Now, it's a firehose of information that is constantly available in your pocket. It's healthy to curate that space to reflect your interests in your precious little time on earth. If you want to pop your bubble so badly, go out and talk to people! Make real connections instead of falling for engagement bait online that only leaves you frustrated and isolated.
You're not incorrect to feel that way, but for context, this is a republican primary. The only people voting for this are the ones without enough shame to have changed their party affiliation in the past 1-10 years, so there's definitely a sampling bias in these specific results. We won't know what the rest of the voters want until November.
I think that's a reasonable approach! This community specifically asks men not to comment or post so it'd be great if they decided to listen like that instead!
And we see no irony in going into a women-only community, making assumptions about how a woman speaks, and telling her to try talking less?

No one needs to justify their existence. Existence is valuable in and of itself, not derived from what you can do or be or experience.
