    this is so obvious to me, i’m hesitant to believe you’re engaging in good faith, but i will answer like that’s true behind the below spoiler. i hope you can appreciate the fact that i have had to go re-expose myself to this transphobia to explain this to you

    cw transphobia

    a direct quote from “TJ SNIPES”

    And I do believe some things are just objectively true, like: I am a man. It doesn’t really matter if someone wants to be called a man—that doesn’t change what you are. Sorry, that’s it. You weren’t assigned it by a doctor. You were assigned it by God.

    if you don’t understand why this is transphobic, idk what to tell you

    there’s also a later section from “AIDAN SILVA”, which, while not explicitly transphobic, does blame losing the election on democrats going to bat for trans people, when they very much did not even go to bat for trans people. obviously, the democrats did a lot wrong during the election and also they didn’t do anything right; i’m not here to argue that. but it’s kind of shitty to blame us for that when the dems hung us out to dry (trans rights were not a core message of their platform and they really went out of their way to pretend we don’t exist during the harris campaign). of course, this article was just asking some dudes what they think; they don’t necessarily have the most informed opinion. it’s just shitty and unpleasant to encounter, and i wish the article had acknowledged it in some way
