Sorry if I'm being thick here, but I'm still confused. Why is neither alternative real? I get that the US isn't being attacked. However, appeasement in the 1930s wasn't a policy enacted by countries that were being actively attacked yet. It was a policy enacted by other countries.

I guess, in my head (and I'd love to hear your take on this), the US doing nothing _is_ appeasement.

I'm genuinely asking--what's the alternative to appeasement in this situation, aside from fighting?

FWIW, nobody I know (either left-leaning or right-learning) cares about her at all. I'm curious where you're hearing this from.

How?

Well, I'm glad that we can all agree that trans men are okay, then!
