As a femme gay myself I am feeling the heat, although not as much as my trans compatriots.

I think GP is point stands though. The right is being told that a very important thing that they should be worried about is the existence of trans people. Which is ridiculous. But the reason the issue was brought up is because it’s very emotional and very personal and has nothing at all to do with curtailing corporate power.

Yeah. It's really frustrating to deal with. When anti-queer hate becomes a focal issue, many people treat the hate as half the problem and our existence as the other half of the problem. And it thus becomes untenable to simply move on to bigger issues, because the middle ground that this implies is very dangerous to us.
