      our existence is a threat to traditional gender roles and family structure. the real thing they fear is “social contagion” - that trans kids will see us living happy lives, and realize they can transition too. they’re afraid of gay people for similar reasons, but physical transition is a whole new level - they have a visceral reaction against it, like their innocent child has been irrevocably, physically corrupted.

      they realized that using their existing levers of power (cutting off funding, changing curriculum, ID laws etc.) won’t do shit: we can DIY hormones, socialize on the internet and look out for each other. so now they become increasingly authoritarian, hence designating us as “domestic extremists” and calling for our forced institutionalization.

      the Heritage foundation is handling us like the SCP foundation handles a Keter-class anomaly.

        No, those are the euphemisms the fascists use. The word you’re really looking for is “patriarchy”.

        Don’t let the enemy control the conversation.
