The world is so much more fascinating and complicated than you think
Trans women are women.
Trans men are men.
Nonbinary people are people.
You have been sold a strawman (an extreme hypothetical that is a lie) scapegoat, with the exact same arguments used against gay, lesbian, and bisexual people twenty years ago, to less success, but they’ve continued trying and will likely be more successful going forward.
We are watching trans and intersex people be erased simply because a few people find the idea icky, and that makes it easier to legislate their rights—the same rights over changing their bodies through hormones and surgery that cis people enjoy—away.
I find the idea of people not washing their hands icky. That doesn’t mean taking a machete to unclean people’s hands.
“Once you decide that a single vulnerable minority can be sacrificed, you’re operating within a fascist logic. That means there might be a second one you’re willing to sacrifice and a third, a fourth. Then what happens?” -Judith Butler
